## To build:
|
||||
|
||||
``` <!---sh-->
|
||||
make all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Bugs and (Mis)features:
|
||||
|
||||
Some terminal applications do not handle all Unicode characters adequately.
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux, it is better to enjoy this entry on `gnome-terminal` or an equivalent modern terminal emulator.
|
||||
|
||||
## To use:
|
||||
|
||||
``` <!---sh-->
|
||||
./prog
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Try:
|
||||
|
||||
``` <!---sh-->
|
||||
./try.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Judges' remarks:
|
||||
|
||||
We had a few minutes of amazement and fun while figuring that the is
|
||||
something fishy 🐠 wit the [prog.c source code](%%REPO_URL%%/2024/cable2/prog.c).
|
||||
|
||||
Those who follow the philosophy of "_seeing is believing_" are
|
||||
likely to be "_deceived_" when they try to view the
|
||||
[prog.c source code](%%REPO_URL%%/2024/cable2/prog.c) in a terminal window:
|
||||
|
||||
``` <!---sh-->
|
||||
cat 2024/cable2/prog.c
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**HINT**: There is a command line flag to the `cat(1)` tool may provide a clue.
|
||||
|
||||
**HINT**: For those who might not be familiar with the
|
||||
[U"string" literal prefix](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/string_literal.html):
|
||||
When using the U literal prefix, anything inside the quotes is encoded as **UTF-32**.
|
||||
|
||||
**HINT TO FUTURE SUBMITTERS**: Now that we have awarded
|
||||
this **clever entry**, please understand that this
|
||||
[salmon is now old hat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmon_hat).
|
||||
What was **murky waters** for **IOCCC28** in 2024 will, in the future,
|
||||
be immediately seen through when analyzing future submissions to the IOCCC.
|
||||
In other words, to win a future IOCCC, you will need to do **MORE**
|
||||
than simply employing this fun obfuscation trick! :-)

||||

## Author's remarks:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Salmon: a most fishy submission
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### About
|
||||
|
||||
This program obviously prints the squares of the numbers from 1 to 10. Or does it? The author got a little hungry for char-grilled salmon, and there's clearly something fishy going on with those unused #defines. Or is there? What the actual f*sh is going on here? Follow the three steps below for maximum enjoyment.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1:**
|
||||
|
||||
``` <!---sh-->
|
||||
cat prog.c
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2:**
|
||||
|
||||
``` <!---sh-->
|
||||
make clobber all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3:**
|
||||
|
||||
``` <!---sh-->
|
||||
./prog
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Scratch head. Then, [slap head with fish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8XeDvKqI4E).
|
||||
|
||||
You may suspect there's something fishy with the `Makefile`, but you would be wrong. It just invokes `cc -o prog prog.c`
|
||||
|
||||
You may suspect `cat` might be eating the salmon in step 1 (see `2015/endoh2`), but you would be even wronger. Confirm by looking at the program source using GitHub or `emacs` or `nano`.
|
||||
|
||||
You are probably now even more confused, in which case, return to step 1.
