TFW you’ve been trying to debug an issue for over an hour and you find out you typed:

variable1 == variable2

Instead of

variable1 = variable2

AARRGGHHHHJJHHHHHRIFNRIDKEJXJDJ!!!!!!!

    In this case, time is an illusion.
    Unit-tests are saving your time on a daily base.
    No nasty bugs appear, you have to spend your time on.
    Adjusting the code in a way it will change your expected results will break your tests and you can instantly recognize and fix the possible bug.

    Usually, the compiler should have warned you?!

    GCC will issue a warning "statement with no effect" if you use -Wall, which is always recommended (and also -Wextra on top of it). Together with -Werror, it will treat the warning as error so that the compilation will fail.

    @Fast-Nop visual studio, so no error checking...

    @queekusme See here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/...

    /Wall and /WX are the equivalents.

    In fact it happened to me in the other way:

    while(var1 = var2) //infinite loop :(

    I had similar the last 2 days although I wasn't working on just one project so just sorta a bug I eventually needed to fix.

    Well I happened to be making some edits and cleaning the code then stumbled on the source of the problem....

    An extra , in an json array...
