The code I'm working on has reason to do a bunch of bit arithmetic in a bunch of different places. I'm consolidating the code to make sure that the same arithmetic is done every time. Turns out, it isn't done that way now. There are subtle bugs in the existing code. 1/7 of the database records have wrong data.
The good news is that the database has the same information in three different forms. And one of them is right. So it is simple to fix the faulty data.
I spent the day ripping out the offending code and creating a class to ensure the right construction and destruction happens.
Whee.
I severely underestimated this job. I've hit the upper end of my bid and I'm now working for the joy of it all. I need to finish this project QUICKLY.
Love,
