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.
