And why is there so much of it?
You have a problem with a software rasterizer, you see.
And you know those types of people writing their own rasterizers; they're the kind of people that like to take a hot iron to their own flesh for fun.
Anyways, you have this problem. You go to gamedev with a thread and you ask a very simple question. A simple question that even a child could answer. A code dump and a "why isn't this working?".
And then comes the first reply: "Have you checked your debugger?"
Oh boy, here we go. They've really done it now.
Who are you to tell me what tools to use?
How do you know that a debugger didn't killed my father? Hmm?
And why is everyone but me so blinded to the truth?
And then comes the next reply: "Have you done any basic research?"
Oh boy, now they've really dug their own grave.
It's like they don't even read the code. The optymizations should be proof enough that I've done all the research I can.
And that's why there's all this debugger propaganda.
This thread is dedicated to my all time favorite member of gamedev: Seinfeld.
