From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 18 Jun 2010 10:09 Isn't that the one where "this code has a bug in it, or not, but until you look at it, it exists in a state where it both has and doesn't have bugs. When you look at it, the probability wave collapses and you either have code with a bug or without a bug" Sort of like a recent thread of posts about someone whose code was perfect until inspected... joe On Thu, 17 Jun 2010 23:41:17 +0200, Giovanni Dicanio <giovanniDOTdicanio(a)REMOVEMEgmail.com> wrote: >On 17/06/2010 17:50, David Webber wrote: > >> The thing about rocket science is that it isn't really rocket science >> you know :-) CMFCToolBar - now *that's* rocket science!

From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 18 Jun 2010 14:44 Actually, that term is a misnomer; it refers to a specific situation where, when you go to inspect the bug (with the debugger) the bug is gone, and when you run without the debugger, the bug appears. Since it is completely deterministic in this regard,the well-established use of "Heisenbug" is actually incorrect. The probability wave has collapsed. joe On Fri, 18 Jun 2010 20:06:47 +0200, Giovanni Dicanio <giovanniDOTdicanio(a)REMOVEMEgmail.com> wrote: >On 18/06/2010 16:09, Joseph M.

Well, either that or how fast you're going. :-) The point is that there's DOCUMENTATION for Schroedinger's Equation and Quantum Mechanics. These new CMFC.... classes don't seem to have any. I now have a dozen or so working CMFCToolBar toolbars - at least working in the sense I can customise them. (I haven't plugged the command handlers in yet.) But I have more questions the further I get into them. I'll ask another when I get frustrated enough.

WHAT!!!! You expect DOCUMENTATION???? Don't you know about the New Standard for Documentation?
