1998 marked the "The Fourteenth International Obfuscated C Code Contest"

Standard IOCCC stuff
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
The IOCCC has its own domain. The IOCCC has an official home page is now:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.ioccc.org
|
||||
|
||||
Use make to compile entries. It is possible that on BSD or non-unix
|
||||
systems the makefile needs to be changed. See the Makefile for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Read over the makefile for compile/build issues. Your system may
|
||||
require certain changes (add or remove a library, add or remove a
|
||||
#define).
|
||||
|
||||
Some ANSI C compilers are not quite as good as they should be. If
|
||||
yours is lacking, you may need to compile using gcc instead of your
|
||||
local compiler.

New Judges
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Larry Bassel is now a graduate student in number theory at UC San Diego.
|
||||
Barbara Frezza also went to San Diego to enter into law school at the
|
||||
same time. Her cooking in the role of official chef was sorely missed.
|
||||
Both Larry and Barbara have taken important new steps in their lives.
|
||||
We wish them the best.

|
||||
Landon was unable to contact with Sriram Srinivasan at the start of
|
||||
the 1998 IOCCC season. Having not heard from Sriram, Landon put out
|
||||
a call for new IOCCC judges. A number of excellent people applied.
|
||||
|
||||
Landon selected Leonid A. Broukhis, a two time IOCCC winner, as a
|
||||
co-judge. Landon and Leo together selected Jeremy Horn and Peter
|
||||
Seebach. The four judges:

|
||||
|
||||
together worked thru-out the 1998 IOCCC season.

Remarks on some of the entries
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This year, Jens Schweikhardt won 3 times ... AGAIN! He is the only
|
||||
person who was able to do this, let alone do it in two contests
|
||||
in a row. Bas de Bakker and David Lowe won twice this year as well.
|
||||
|
||||
As we state in the guidelines, the names of the winners are as much
|
||||
news to us as they are to you because we keep authorship separate from
|
||||
rest of the entry. Some people have it, we guess!
|
||||
|
||||
There were a few very good entries that might have won if it were not
|
||||
for the fact that they didn't work. If you didn't win, but think you
|
||||
had a chance: test your program, fix it and submit it next year!
|
||||
|
||||
This year we awarded some outstanding entries. We recommend that you
|
||||
look at all of the winners. The list of winners is a bit too long to
|
||||
say something about every winner. On the other hand a partial mention
|
||||
of a few is in order:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Audiences were very impressed with the Best of Show entry.
|
||||
+ The judges were amused that for the first time we received an entry
|
||||
that caused gcc to give the assembler bad input in some cases.
|
||||
+ The poot entries got a good laugh from the Usenix IOCCC BOF crowd.
|
||||
+ Those with Functional Programming knowledge as well as those
|
||||
impressed with CPP code expansion liked the entry that translated
|
||||
lambda expressions into combinator expressions.
|
||||
+ Logic minded folks will get somewhat twisted up while following the
|
||||
flow of the Best Flow Control entry.
|
||||
+ Those who know the PostScript language will be ``bemused'' by
|
||||
the Best Encapsulation entry.
|
||||
|
||||
There were some outstanding entries that did not win. Unfortunately
|
||||
some very good entries lost because they:
|
||||
|
||||
+ depended too much on non-portable side effects in expressions;
|
||||
+ depended too much on a particular byte order;
|
||||
+ required the use of a special script, data file or pseudo-machine
|
||||
language that was not supplied with the entry.
|
||||
|
||||
We hope the authors of some of those entries will fix and re-submit
|
||||
them for the next IOCCC.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
There was no 1997 contest
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
So what happened to 1997? There was no summer USENIX Technical
|
||||
Conference. The Technical Conference was held Jun 15-19, 1998 instead
|
||||
... 18 months later than the 1996 summer USENIX Technical Conference.
|
||||
In addition we had to select some new IOCCC judges. As a result IOCCC
|
||||
skipped over 1997.

||||
