where there is an exit condition available, but inaccessible in the current
implementation of the code. Typically this is created while debugging user
interface code. An example would be when there is a menu stating,
&#8220;<span class="quote">Select 1-3 or 9 to quit</span>&#8221; and 9 is not allowed by the function
that takes the selection from the user.</p></dd><dd><p>This term received its name from a programmer who had coded a modal
message box in MSAccess with no Ok or Cancel buttons, thereby disabling the
entire program whenever the box came up. The message box had the proper
code for dismissal and even was set up so that when the non-existent Ok
button was pressed the proper code would be called.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="airplane-rule.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../A.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="aliasing-bug.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">airplane rule </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> aliasing bug</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
