If at first you don't succeed... try, try again...

If at first you don't succeed... try, try again...

Here's another interesting piece of code I've just digged up in a C# application I'm reviewing.

If you can come up with a bright idea about what those try/catch blocks are supposed to do, you've got more imagination than me...

class Foo
{
private int bar;

// ...snip...

public int GetNewBar()
{
int ret = 0;

lock (this)
{
try {
bar++;
ret = bar;
}
catch {
try {
bar++;
ret = bar;
}
catch {}
}
}

return ret;
}

// ...snip...
}

About me

Born in Guastalla the 14th of February, 1978; since I was a child I've always enjoyed disassembling (and re-assembling, often succesfully) everything I could put my hands on.

Eventually I ended up disassembling and re-assembling software... it's not exactly the same thing as dismantling toys, but it can be equally funny
