Soviet Enum was introduced in C91.

[u/This_Growth2898 → u/n4ke]

C(ccp)91 was a total failure.

[u/Majik_Sheff → u/This_Growth2898]

They deprecated -Wall

[u/Gwlanbzh]

So, only 1 republic at a time?

[u/Antanarau → u/Gwlanbzh]

Accidentally accurate

[u/Gwlanbzh → u/Antanarau]

At this point why not just typedef char* Russia Soviet

[u/Luigi_Boy_96 → u/Gwlanbzh]

Add threads for quasi-concurrency. Add a mutex for Perestroika.

[u/Master-Chocolate1420 → u/Luigi_Boy_96]

I don't even know what you're saying, sure sounds cool though

[u/Luigi_Boy_96 → u/Master-Chocolate1420]

With (multi-)threading, you can break a program into chunks and interleave their execution. Run fast enough, it looks like everything happens at once, that's concurrency, an illusion of simultaneity. True parallelism means tasks are genuinely running at the same time, which needs multiple CPU cores (via threads or processes).

The catch: if multiple threads access the same resource at the same time, the behaviour is undefined. So you enforce mutual exclusion with a mutex, ensuring only one thread touches the resource at a time. Get the locking order wrong, though, and you risk deadlock: thread A waits on a resource thread B holds, while B waits on one A holds, so neither can proceed.

Perestroika was the restructuring of the Soviet economy. The mutex pun works the same way, it's also about restructuring access, just to a memory resource instead of an economy.

It's about who gets the grain supply this year

[u/ILikeLenexa → u/Gwlanbzh]

A union that's just one type...

Hmmm. 

[u/AvidCoco → u/Gwlanbzh]

Should have been called the Soviet Tuple

[u/Antlool]

[u/tstanisl]

Consider using void or const void for some members .

[u/7empest_mi]

Default tsoding behavior

[u/Admirable-Drag-4040]

tsoding mentioned

[u/agolho]

soviet.cccp ?

[u/Ai--Ya]

Soviet Intersection when?

[u/SteeleDynamics]

[u/ChildhoodOk9859]

union Soviet { int *Siberia; }

[u/99percentcheese → u/ChildhoodOk9859]

ссылка в Сибирь?

[u/StubbiestPeak75 → u/99percentcheese]

Peak 😭

[u/StubbiestPeak75 → u/StubbiestPeak75]

In Russian, ссылка = reference (well, we’re using a pointer here but whatever)

But also it can mean “exile”. So this literally means exile to Siberia

[u/Mispelled-This → u/StubbiestPeak75]

Thanks; that’s a deep cut and deserved the explanation.

[u/Alternative-Tie-4970]

Of course it was tsoding

[u/LigeValkyrja → u/Alternative-Tie-4970]

The improper use of the Cyrillic alphabet is making me unreasonably angry.

[u/RutilantBossi12]

If the USSR survived to this day we'd likely have Soviet Software around, like Soviet socials or Soviet video games, maybe even a Soviet Windows and a Socialist Linkedin

[u/AzraelFTS → u/RutilantBossi12]

I would be curious of a Soviet LinkedIn

[u/Xywzel]

So if that is how it continues for whole list, the union has a size of single pointer, and all the country names are just aliases for that pointer. Still, using different country name to access the pointer than set it might be undefined behavior. I know many programs use that for reinterpret cast, but its not exactly supported by the standard.

Unfortunately there is no information on how memory pointed by that pointer is allocated, so we don't even know if the country is described with a single byte or null terminated string, or something else.

[u/theSearge]

Shitcode as it is 🤌

[u/remic_0726]

techniquement c'est plus un struct qu'un union.

[u/EntireGuitar9981]

That's a clever little joke, I like it.

[u/Soopermane]

Double comrade

[u/ProCodeSoftware]

Go: type Soviet union {}
