What does 10l mean?

[puffpio]

Its a shorthand for something..but I dunno what..

I know that i18n = internationalization, and L10n = localization...
but 10l? I cant figure it out and google has trouble with something that short and generic..

can anyone share their insight?

What context? Google likes context too and might give better results with some.

In C or similar languages, 10l is a long immediate value, which may differ in length from an int immediate on 64-bit machines.

In SVG, 10l may be part of a command to draw a line.

Or perhaps you misread the first characters as numbers, and it's just somebody Laughing Out Loud? :laugh:

i see it in commit logs for x264 ( a video encoder) a lot.

an example would be: "Fix another 10l in MBtree"
and the code diffwould be

- int dist_scale_factor = p1 != p0 ? 128 : ( ((b-p0) << 8) + ((p1-p0) >> 1) ) / (p1-p0);
+ int dist_scale_factor = p1 == p0 ? 128 : ( ((b-p0) << 8) + ((p1-p0) >> 1) ) / (p1-p0);

I too read it on doom9.org, afaik it seems to be some kind of joke on giving someone a punishment of drinking 10L of softdrink for committing wrong code or something to that effect.

Aha, Akapenguin had not consumed enough coke (10L) or something along those lines. thus the 10L comment.
