| azonenberg | i just spent a whole day hunting down this bug... writing to a FIFO with data synchronous to clock A | 18:06 |
|---|---|---|
| azonenberg | when you told the buffer to sample on clock B, which has no phase relationship | 18:06 |
| azonenberg | tends to not end well | 18:06 |
| azonenberg | silly typos :P | 18:06 |
| larsc | that's why I want tools which are clock domain aware | 18:09 |
| azonenberg | larsc: yeah, that would be nice | 18:10 |
| azonenberg | This is a textbook mandelbug lol | 18:11 |
| azonenberg | "A bug whose underlying causes are so complex and obscure as to make its behavior appear chaotic or even non-deterministic. This term implies that the speaker thinks it is a Bohr bug, rather than a heisenbug" | 18:11 |
| wpwrak | as long as you don't up with schroedingerbugs .. | 18:13 |
| larsc | azonenberg: yea, it's a nice method for introducing random failures | 18:14 |
| azonenberg | wpwrak: "A design or implementation bug in a program that doesn't manifest until someone reading source or using the program in an unusual way notices that it never should have worked, at which point the program promptly stops working for everybody until fixed" - lol | 18:17 |
| azonenberg | i know those | 18:17 |
| wpwrak | and of course, there are the everett bugs. but they're pretty common. (after Hugh Everett, discoverer of the many-worlds interpretation) | 18:26 |
| azonenberg | lol | 18:29 |
