| Aug 18, 2014 at 13:19 | comment | added | Pimgd | @nhgrif Then it'd still be off-topic; adding "I have a binary" doesn't really change the question. More specifically, the code in the question still does nothing. | |
| Aug 18, 2014 at 13:05 | comment | added | nhgrif | What about an API with binary for the library linked to? This unquestionably does something, but it is the interface I want reviewed | |
| Aug 18, 2014 at 12:56 | comment | added | RubberDuck | have you read this? The term "working" code was added to the help center in response to broken code. I maintain that you're using the wrong definition of "work". | |
| Aug 18, 2014 at 12:53 | comment | added | Pimgd | @ckuhn203 ... yes? It's not verb-ing anything. Not calculating, sorting, altering, reading, writing, saving, printing, ... crashing?... so it's... pretty much doing nothing. | |
| Aug 18, 2014 at 12:34 | comment | added | RubberDuck | An interface creates a contract that is then enforced by the compiler. Is that "doing nothing"? | |
| Aug 18, 2014 at 12:32 | comment | added | Pimgd | @ckuhn203 Which is? | |
| Aug 18, 2014 at 12:29 | comment | added | RubberDuck | There's a different between "not doing anything" and not being executable code. | |
