Floating Ambiguity



  • Just a short snippet that made me chuckle as I was rummaging through MS Platform SDK's 'float.h' to steal some defines:-

     

    #define EM_AMBIGUIOUS           _EM_AMBIGUOUS  /* for backwards compatibility old spelling */
    #define EM_AMBIGUOUS            _EM_AMBIGUOUS

  • I think it's also hilarious that the word with alternate spellings is "ambiguous." On the other hand, we wouldn't tolerate any old spelling of "strict" for example...

    The only reason this is funny is because it is ...
