The badness cannot be overstated. "Hostile codebase" would be an appropriate label. Much more information available in Giovani Bechis's presentation: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/libressl/42162879

If someone meant to engineer a codebase to hide subtle bugs which might be remotely exploitable, leak state, behave unexpectedly at runtime, or all of the above, the code would look like this.
