I once saw constants declared and used like this:

code:

enum ConstsAndVars {
  BUTTCONST,
  POOPCONST,
  ...
}

...

int aMethod() {
  string BUTTVAL;
  switch(ConstsAndVars.BUTTCONST) {
    case(ConstsAndVars.BUTTCONST):
      BUTTVAL = "This is a butt.";
    default:
      throw new Exception("Not a butt!");
  }
  ...
}

The explanation was "it's easier to keep track of the number of constants declared this way".

the main project at newjob is a sprawling code base consisting of a large number (more than a few dozen, not sure if it's over 100) of git repos managed by 2 different meta-repo tools. the build is done by make at the top level but that goes in to a few other build systems to build various parts of the project. several hundred thousand files of c/c++ code in total.

my instinctual desire to understand the full stack of what I'm working on may have met its end

edit: oh I forgot the best part. the structure of the meta repos is such that the git repos often have overlapping folder structures. in some cases in the git repos are set up to .gitignore each other, in some case not.

Seriously this. I don't give a poo poo about the specific syntax at this point, just finalize it already. I don't even understand why it has taken so long.

it's fine if you don't like the language but idk it's kinda dumb to point out oddities when you're actively looking for them

there are, its called a type system (or enum vs string if your type system sucks)

Yeah this sounds like a deep change in cargo itself honestly

Comedy option: pre populate the cargo cache and trick it into thinking it's already built the library from source
