What (who) is schroedinbug - definition

SOFTWARE BUG THAT SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR OR ALTER ITS BEHAVIOR WHEN ONE ATTEMPTS TO STUDY IT

Heisenbug (bug); Bohr bug; Mandelbug; Schroedinbug; Schrödinbug; Heisenberg bug; Unusual software bugs; Hindenbug; Bohrbug; Fermat bug; Phase of the moon bug; Ghosts in the code; Schrodinbug; Heisenbugs; Enderbug; Alpha particle bug; Unusual software bug; Schrödingbug; Schrodingbug; Higgs-bugson

schroedinbug

<jargon, programming> /shroh'din-buhg/ (MIT, from the Schroedinger's Cat thought-experiment in quantum physics) A design or implementation bug in a program that doesn't manifest until someone reading source or using the program in an unusual way notices that it never should have worked, at which point the program promptly stops working for everybody until fixed. Though (like bit rot) this sounds impossible, it happens; some programs have harboured latent schroedinbugs for years. Compare heisenbug, Bohr bug, mandelbug. [Jargon File] (1995-02-28)

Bohr bug

<jargon, programming> /bohr buhg/ (From Quantum physics) A repeatable bug; one that manifests reliably under a possibly unknown but well-defined set of conditions. Compare heisenbug. See also mandelbug, schroedinbug. [Jargon File] (1995-02-28)

Heisenbug

In computer programming jargon, a heisenbug is a software bug that seems to disappear or alter its behavior when one attempts to study it. The term is a pun on the name of Werner Heisenberg, the physicist who first asserted the observer effect of quantum mechanics, which states that the act of observing a system inevitably alters its state.

Heisenbug

In computer programming jargon, a heisenbug is a software bug that seems to disappear or alter its behavior when one attempts to study it. The term is a pun on the name of Werner Heisenberg, the physicist who first asserted the observer effect of quantum mechanics, which states that the act of observing a system inevitably alters its state. In electronics, the traditional term is probe effect, where attaching a test probe to a device changes its behavior.

Similar terms, such as bohrbug, mandelbug, hindenbug, and schrödinbug (see the section on related terms) have been occasionally proposed for other kinds of unusual software bugs, sometimes in jest.
