First of all, I just want to make it clear that I'm not here to rant about my question being closed or demanding my post be reopened. I'm just curious.
The post in question is this one. The question is a bit too weird to properly explain in one line, so you might have to see the post itself to understand what I'm asking. I noticed two close votes were cast yesterday and today, the post was finally closed for not being reproducible and/or caused by a typo. This is the feedback I got: This question was caused by a typo or a problem that can no longer be reproduced. While similar questions may be on-topic here, this one was resolved in a way less likely to help future readers.
Now I'm not sure how this is not reproducible and/or caused by a typo (maybe not reproducible because it would have to be tweaked to run on a system where a long
is 32 bits), but maybe the feedback makes sense. The question is a very weird one, and even though I tried my best to make an answer that explained the question, it could still be useless and/or too confusing for future readers. If there's anyone who understands why my question was closed, could you explain why to me so I can make sure this doesn't happen in the future?
