1 .
An awkward feature
or programming technique that ought to be made cleaner .
For
example ,
using small integers to represent error codes without
the program interpreting them to the user (
as in ,
for example ,
Unix "
make (
1 )",
which returns code 139 for a process that dies
due to {
segfault }).
2 .
A technique that works acceptably ,
but which is quite prone
to failure if disturbed in the least .
For example ,
a
too -
clever programmer might write an assembler which mapped
{
instruction mnemonics }
to numeric {
opcodes }
{
algorithm }
ically ,
a trick which depends far too intimately on
the particular bit patterns of the opcodes . (
For another
example of programming with a dependence on actual opcode
values ,
see {
The Story of Mel }.)
Many crocks have a tightly
woven ,
almost completely unmodifiable structure .
See {
kluge },
{
brittle }.
The adjectives "
crockish "
and "
crocky ",
and the
nouns "
crockishness "
and "
crockitude ",
are also used .
