Google Unveils Code Search

derek_farn writes, "Google now has a page that supports source code searching. I hope they extend it to be more programming-language aware (e.g., search for identifiers and functions) like the specialist code search sites (Krugle, Koders, and Codease), who probably now have very worried investors. I don't see any option to search for Cobol. I guess there is not a lot of Cobol source available on the Internet, even although there is supposed to be more Cobol source in existence than any other language (perhaps that statement is not true in the noughties)." From the Cnet.com article: "Google engineers, many of whom participate in open-source projects, already use these code searching capabilities internally. Since it is a Google Labs project, the company is not yet seeking to monetize searches through ads."

the one thing everyone will search

A search for "bill gates" turned up these tidbits:

if (gates == NULL) /* eat this, Billy-boy */
gates = (HINF **) Hmalloc (sizeof (HINF *) * 10);

int_fast16_t reserved1; /* Ask Bill Gates what this is all about. */

Hilarious- the pains that writers have to code for browsers!

- Calendar.continuation_for_the_fucking_khtml_browse r = function() {
// check for function objects (as usual, IE is fucked up)

The other thing everyone will search

What's that I hear????

[bluelip]

It's the sound of millions of CS majors cheering!!!!

Dang, this a neat tool.

Re:I like this search better - fucking funny as

[kafka47]

LOL your search has now uncovered the hidden angst of a million programmers :

($backend && $backend->isa("Acme::Scurvy::Whoreson::BilgeRat::B ackend::$params{language}")) ||
die("For fuck's sake, the fucking backend's fucked");

/K

No need to search for Cobol?

"I don't see any option to search for Cobol."

Well, that's one entire season of "Battlestar Galactica" rendered entirely pointless. Thanks a lot!

The old saying is true . . .

Good programmers write good code. Great programmers find it on Google!

Your Search

[mazarin5]

Your search 10 print "boobs" 20 goto 10 returned no results. Try searching again using fewer terms.

Proof

Crap! There goes SCO's case.

Oh crap!

I hope my CS professor doesn't find this until the semester is over.

I found orgasm code!

[Jugalator]

This is just too funny :-)

void Mammal::mate( Mammal& partner ) { /* potential mating partner */
        M_partner = partner.getId(); /*printf( "." ); fflush( stdout );/**/ /* mating must be mutual */
        if( partner.getPartnerId() != M_id ) { /*M_wait += 15;/**/
                return;
        } /*printf( "+" ); fflush( stdout );/**/ /* this is male object */
        if( M_gender == 0 ) { /* perform breeding in female object */
                partner.mate( *this );
                return;
        } /* this is female object */
        assert( M_gender == 1 ); /* current position */
        int x = M_x, y = M_y; /* behind position */
        switch( M_direction ) {
                case EAST: x--; break;
                case NORTH: y++; break;
                case WEST: x++; break;
                case SOUTH: y--; break;
        } /* back to field wall */
        if( !M_field->in( x, y ) ) return; /* newborn's position */
        int cx = M_x, cy = M_y; /* move mother backward */
        M_x = x;
        M_y = y; /* conception */
        orgasm();
        partner.orgasm();
        Mammal* child;
        child = new Mammal( *M_field, cx, cy, NEWBORNENERGY, *this, partner ); /*printf( "CHILD%d ", child );/**/ /* birth */
        M_energy -= CHILDBIRTHENERGY;
        M_population->add( *child );

        printf( "MATE(%d,%d)->%d(%d) ", M_id, partner.getId(), child->getId(), child->getGeneration() ); /* partner.printGenotype();
        partner.printState();
        printGenotype();
        printState();
        child->printGenotype();
        child->printState();/**/
}

void Mammal::orgasm() {
        M_energy -= MATINGENERGY;
        M_result = 1;
}

Moo

I just searched for "20 GOTO 10". Oh my. I don't know if that is funny or sad.
