Visual Studio has an option called Do not launch, but debug my code when it launches.<\/i><\/p>\n
For a long time, I was confused by this setting. It’s like telling someone, “Don’t drive my car, but wear a seat belt when you drive my car.”<\/p>\n
I also tried to parse this as<\/p>\n
(Do not launch, but debug my code) when it launches.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In other words, “When my code launches, don’t launch it; just debug it.”<\/p>\n
Which makes no sense. “When my code launches, don’t launch it.”<\/p>\n
I eventually got clued in that both of those attempts at parsing the statement were incorrect. The intended parse is<\/p>\n
Do not launch, but (debug my code when it launches).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In other words, “Don’t launch it right now. Wait for somebody else<\/i> to launch it, and then debug it when that launch happens.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
