Fix conflicts with recent commits (I think/hope)
Some commits this week caused some conflicts with some open pull requests made last week. I believe and hope that I fixed the conflicts.

1991 marked the "The Eighth International Obfuscated C Code Contest"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Look at the README.md file for the given winner for information
|
||||
on how to compile the winner and how to run the winning program.
|
||||
Look at the winning source and try to figure how it does what it does!
|
||||
You may then wish to look at the Author's comments for even more details.
|
||||
|
||||
Instructions for use: Run make to compile entries. It is possible that
|
||||
on BSD or non-unix systems the makefile needs to be changed.
|
||||
|
||||
This year, we did not single out an entry that was better than all of
|
||||
the rest. We selected 3 entries that were, in our opinion, went beyond
|
||||
all of the other entries this year:
|
||||
|
||||
Grand Prize by Brian Westley
|
||||
Most Well Rounded by Diomidis Spinellis
|
||||
Best Of Show by Daniel J. Bernstein
|
||||
|
||||
Name and address information are separated from the actual program
|
||||
prior to judging. This eliminates any chance that we would bias our
|
||||
judging for/against any person or group. In the end, we are surprised
|
||||
as you are to see who as won. Even so, it is worth noting that
|
||||
Brian Westley has submitted a winning entry for the past 5 years!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A few notes regarding possible changes to the contest:
|
||||
|
||||
We did not give awards to some traditional contest categories such as
|
||||
"Best Layout" or "Worst Abuse of the Rules". We felt that to do so
|
||||
would deny awards to more deserving entries. These categories have not
|
||||
been eliminated, and will likely be considered in future years.
|
||||
|
||||
A number of entries made use of the following C pre-processor feature:
|
||||
|
||||
#define X define
|
||||
#X foo bar
|
||||
|
||||
This is not permitted under ANSI C. Some ANSI C compilers do allow
|
||||
this. In the future, we do not want programs to use this feature.
|
||||
Because this request was not stated in the 1991 rules, we did not
|
||||
reject entries of this type. However we provided more portable
|
||||
versions so that more people could compile these programs.
|
||||
|
||||
This year we received entries that made use of the X Window System.
|
||||
This functionality is now available on many systems, we feel that
|
||||
programs that use these are now portable enough to be valid entries.
|
||||
|
||||
We may allow programs to make use of the X Window System libs and include
|
||||
files, provided that they can operate with a system running at the level
|
||||
of at least X11r4. Requiring the use of imake, a specific window manager,
|
||||
specific display hardware, or a specific user interface (Openl**k,
|
||||
M*tif, ...) is likely not to be allowed. We will provide a more detailed
|
||||
explanation of our viewpoint in next year's rules.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to encourage more 'normal' looking C programs, we are considering
|
||||
the following change to the maximum size rule:
|
||||
|
||||
Your source, not counting any <space>, <tab>, and a <newline> character,
|
||||
and not counting any ';', '{' and '}' character followed by a <newline>
|
||||
character, must be 1536 bytes or less. The entire source, counting all
|
||||
characters, be 4096 bytes or less.
|
||||
|
||||
Some thought has been given to adding some c++ categories, however this
|
||||
is not likely to happen soon. We are waiting until c++ compilers become
|
||||
common place on a wide number of systems. We also need time to brace
|
||||
ourselves for what obfuscation c++ could wield!
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure to wait until the 1992 rules are posted before submitting entries.
|
||||
We may fine tune the rules to reflect the some ideas above.
|
||||
|
||||
Please send us comments and suggestions what we have expressed above.
|
||||
Also include anything else that you would like to see in future contests.
