This one was also fun. By chance I noticed the '{' next to the read()
function. Easy enough to miss when very tired. Anyway I had to prototype
that function as 'int read(int, void *, int)' and then in that function,
in the call to write(2), cast 'i' (which is the void *) to int. This
fixes the problem and now it works with macOS and linux.
Removed this entry from bugs.md.
Some years after the entry was published the judges asked them if they
wished to remain anonymous. They said yes but added that they are well
known for their there connection to the C language.
I fixed at the same time the typo that was in this quote as it seemed
that it's better to be clear than to keep a quote exactly as is
especially as it might have not been a copy paste in the first place.
Changed the position of the everything Makefile rule
in select Makefiles to be consistent with other makefiles.
Fixed Makefile for 1986/stein where everything was not
everything (did not depend on alt).
Simply the Makefile header.
Refer to the //www.ioccc.org/bugs.md URL (that will eventually exist).
Now using CC BY-SA 4.0 License to how you may share and adapt the
Makefile.
Some of the files modified include some of the files modified yesterday;
others were not modified yesterday. I backtracked as I noticed some
sections are missing in earlier README.md files. However more have to be
checked in earlier years. I'm committing now as I have to do other
things and am likely done for the day.
The years 1984, 1985 and 1986 have had all winning entry README.md files
updated. This includes formatting, adding author's comments (which in
these years means nothing but still have the section there to indicate
that there were no comments) and possibly other things.
I have updated some - not all - of the 1987 winning entry README.md
files. I have to do other things now but I want these committed. I will
work on the other README.md files another time.
There are a number of issues that cause this. It might work with a more
recent compiler but it might not - I haven't tested that but anyone with
the default install will probably have problems.
There are many more fixes to be made but I wanted these in. Even the
files I have checked will have to be checked again in more detail but I
needed these committed so I could fix something in another file that
will need a new branch. More updates to README.md files will then be put
into yet another branch if the pull requests have not yet been merged
before I get to these updates (which really ought to be a lot of
fun! :-) )
In particular the following fixes were made:
-MKFIFo= mkfifo
+MKFIFO= mkfifo
-ZIPGREp= zipgrep
-ZIPINFo= zipinfo
+ZIPGREP= zipgrep
+ZIPINFO= zipinfo
If it's not immediately clear what the problem is the last letter of the
variable names were in lower case.
As per discussions on GitHub the index.html and hint.html files should
be deleted in favour of README.md files (from any
.text/.txt/.markdown/.md files which will be turned into README.md in an
upcoming commit).
The 2020 winners are hinted it, but the source code is not there,
nor are the hints. Someone could look into the HTML and
see what was commented out, but that is not a problem because
WHO won is known and the name of their AWARD is known already.
Moreover a number of the winners have talked about what their
entirs do, so the commented out spoiler text is not a bit problem.
One will find HTML commented out with:
<!-- XXX remove when 2020 is ready
2020 links here
XXX remove when 2020 is ready -->
The "XXX remove when 2020 is ready" string is found at the
start and end comment blocks. Again, soneone could read
what was commented out, but that is OK since most of that
information is known or can be known. The following files
have such HTML comment blocks in them.
./winners.html
./years-spoiler.html
./years.html
In addition, ./all/summary.txt was modified to not
include the 2020 entries for the momemt.
The 2020 winner code AND write-ups are NOT part of this set.
p.s. The all/all.tar.bz2 does not contain the 2020 source code (yet?).
