Updated `tmp/manifest.numbers` to reflect the above JSON changes.
Updated `tmp/README.md` to reflect the above JSON changes.
Sorted `tmp/README.md` by existing `tmp` filenames.
Updated all `.entry.json` files to reflect the above JSON changes.
Updated all `author/author_handle.json` files to reflect the above JSON changes.
Added new tool `bin/gen-location.sh` to form the top level file `location.html`
from `author/author_handle.json` files!
Added new tool `bin/gen-years.sh` to form the top level file `years.html`
using `.top`, `.year` and `.entry.json' files!
Added new tool `bin/gen-authors.sh` to form a new top level file
`/authors.html` from `author/author_handle.json` and related
`.entry.json' files!
The old `winners.html` file now redirects to the new `authors.html` file.
Renamed `bin/gen-author.sh` to `bin/output-index-author.sh`.
Renamed `bin/subst.winner-index.sh` to `subst.entry-index.sh`.

Renamed `bin/sgi` to `bin/sgi.sh`.
The core logic of converting markdown to HTML has been
generalized into a new `bin/md2html.sh` tool.
The `bin/readme2index.sh` tool now calls the
new `bin/md2html.sh` tool to form entry's `index.html` files.
The `bin/quick-readme2index.sh` tool now calls the new `bin/md2html.sh`
tool, unless the `index.html` is newer than both `.entry.json` and
`README.md`, to form entry `index.html` files.
Increased, slightly, the speed of the `bin/quick-readme2index.sh` tool
with the entry's `index.html` file does not need to be updated.
The `bin/quick-readme2index.sh` tool will touch the `index.html` file,
even if the `bin/md2html.sh` tool determines that the `index.html` file
did not change, so that the `index.html` file will not appear
out of date with respect to `.entry.json`.
Slightly improved the look and feel of `index.html` files for entries.
The logic of `bin/all-run.sh` has been improved. The initial
processing, from first bash version check, thru the -N test, serves
as the model for the `bin/readme2index.sh` tool and the
`bin/quick-readme2index.sh` tool. There tools now share
a common set of command line options.
Changed the format of `inc/md2html.cfg` so that for a given "_file_glob_"
match, options follow, one per line. The "_file_glob_" is on a line
by itself. The option lines that follow must be intended:
```
[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]/README.md
-H
topnav=year
-o
bin/subst.default.sh
-o
bin/subst.year.sh
```
Added "-D ./" to top level markdown files in `inc/md2html.cfg`.
The above intending is performed with 1 or more whitespace
characters, although we use a leading tab "convention"
out of deference to Makefile formats. :-)
Once a new "_file_glob_" is found, the set of any previous
option lines is said to have ended.
The general argument processing logic now makes used of shell arrays.
Added checks in the `bin/md2html.sh` tool to disallow a "_file_glob_"
of . (dot) as this is used internally to help the shell process the
new `inc/md2html.cfg` format.
Changed `bin/all-run.sh` VERSION from "1.1.2 2024-01-20"
to "1.3 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/output-index-author.sh` VERSION from "1.3.1 2024-01-16"
to "1.4 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` VERSION from "1.3.2 2024-01-19"
to "1.4 2024-02-05".
Changed `bin/quick-readme2index.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2024-01-20"
to "1.1 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/readme2index.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-01-20"
to "1.2 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/subst.default.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-01-16"
to "1.2 2024-02-05".
Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-01-16
to "1.2 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/output-index-inventory.sh` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-01-16"
to "1.1 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/manifest.entry.json.awk` from "1.0 2024-01-14"
to "1.1 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/sort.gitignore.sh` from "1.0 2024-02-01"
to "1.1 2024-02-11".
Changed substitution symbol _%%DOCROOT_URL_SLASH%%_ to _%%DOCROOT_SLASH%%_
in various "inc/*.html" files.
Moved setting of symbol _%%DOCROOT_SLASH%%_ from `bin/subst.entry-index.sh`
to `bin/subst.default.sh`.
Changed the variable _$DOCROOT_URL_SLASH_ to _$DOCROOT_SLASH_, in
bin tools that use it, to be more descriptive.
Removed `-P pandoc_opts` from `bin/*.sh` command lines.
The PANDOC_WRAPPER_OPTSTR value is only used in `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh`.
Removed `-B optstr` and `-A optstr` from the `bin/md2html.sh` command line.
Removed `[-O tool=optstr ..]` from the `bin/md2html.sh` command line.
Removed old use of `-U top_url` from command lines.
Add `-w site_url` as sort of a "replacement" for the old `-U top_url`.
Added a new `-U URL` to `bin/gen-author.sh`, `bin/output-index-inventory.sh`,
`bin/md2html.sh`, `bin/subst.default.sh`, and `bin/subst.entry-index.sh`
to allow for the Nu HTML check can use the encoded absolute URL of
the HTML page.
Added `-t tagline` to most command lines.
Added `-T md2html.sh` to most command lines.
Added `-D docroot/` to most command lines to set DOCROOT_SLASH.
The DOCROOT_SLASH value defaults to "../../" for most in tools,
suitable for HTML files under a `YYYY/dir` directory, except for
`bin/gen-location.sh` and `gen-entries-html.sh` (as this produces a
top level HTML file) and `bin/md2html.sh` (forms files at any level)
who use "./" instead.
In the case of `bin/output-index-inventory.sh`, `bin/quick-readme2index.sh`,
`bin/readme2index.sh`, and `bin/all-run.sh`
Helped make the use of exit code in bin tools a bit more consistent.
Fixed a number of typos in the bin tools.
Added comments for lower level tools such as
`manifest.entry.json.awk`, `bin/subst.default.sh`,
`bin/subst.entry-index.sh`, and bin/`manifest.entry.json.awk` to
indicate how they are usually invoked by other tools.
Changed the comments that a new `bin/md2html.sh` tool (that was the
`bin/readme2index.sh` tool) would add to a entry's `index.html` file.
No longer will it add the tool version number to the comment. Thus,
a change in tool version will not force all entry `index.html`
files to be modified. Now both the tool adds two comments, one
is the _tagline_ to indicate how the markdown content was generated,
and one for the new `bin/md2html.sh` tool. For example:
```
<!-- The original markdown content was formed by the tool: bin/quick-readme2index.sh -->
<!-- The HTML was converted from markdown by the tool: bin/md2html.sh -->
```
Improve the debugging, especially in regards to changing important
exported shell variables, in `bin/md2html.sh`. Other bin tools
have their exported shell variables improved somewhat as well.
The `bin/README.md` now describes the general _converting markdown
to HTML_ procedure including _getopt phases_ and _HTML phases_.
Content from `inc/md2html.cfg` and `bin/readme2index.sh` that related
to this topic has been centralized into the `bin/README.md` file.
Improved formatting of the `bin/README.md` file. Updated it as needed
according to the above.
Sorted `2011/.year`, `2018/.year`, and `2019/.year` to be in dictionary order.
Adjusted ${WINNERS} in year Makefile to use dictionary order so
that `make genpath` will produce `.year` files in dictionary order.
FYI: We tested this massive set of changes as best as we could.
Nevertheless we might have missing something in the JSON changes,
`.entry.json` renames, manifest updates, code comments, etc.
A note of interest is that commit
1d7a2692ea was rolled back as it was
problematic. This was accidentally done in a commit to do with the
manifest update (I think 5d4f9ff907 but
possibly e7756cfb31 instead).
We sort with lines starting with # first.
We sort with lines starting with * second.
We sort with lines that do not start with [#!*] third.
We sort with lines starting with ! fourth.
Example usage in vim with a keyboard macro <escape>f:
```vim
:map ^[f 1G!G../../bin/sgi^M
```
or via .vimrc:
```vimrc
" sort the entire .gitignore file using ../../bin/sgi
:map ^[f 1G!G../../bin/sgi^M
```
NOTE: The ^[ above is ((Escape)) and ^M is ((Control-M)).
Example usage in shell:
```sh
rm -f t && ../../bin/sgi < .gitignore > t && mv -f t .gitignore
```
Suggested usage:
```sh
bin/all-run.sh bin/sort.gitignore -v 1
```
Sorted all winner .gitignore according to this method.
Sorted all year level .gitignore according to this method.
Sorted top level .gitignore according to this method.
Improved `all-run.sh` and `readme2index.sh` so that
certain command line options (e.g., -p, -P, -u, -U ...)
are only passed along to other tools if they are
given on the command line.
all-run.sh VERSION changed from "1.1.1 2024-01-19"
to "1.1.2 2024-01-20",
readme2index.sh VERSION changed from "1.1 2024-01-16"
to "1.1.1 2024-01-20".
Added `quick-readme2index.sh` that only calls
`readme2index.sh` if the `index.html` is not
a non-empty file, or of either `.winner.json`
and/or `README.md` is newer than `index.html`.
Updated all `index.html` files because the
the file contains a comment that includes
the newly modified readme2index.sh VERSION.
Updated manifest as per recent file changes.
Updated winner `.winner.json` to reflect the manifest changes.
Added [bin/all_run.sh](bin/all_run.sh) tool to run a command over
all winning entries.
These tools had slight improvements in the help usage message:
* bin/gen-author.sh VERSION="1.3.1 2024-01-16"
* bin/gen-inventory.sh VERSION="1.0.1 2024-01-16"
* bin/pandoc_wrapper.sh VERSION="1.3.1 2024-01-16"
* bin/subst.default.sh VERSION="1.1.1 2024-01-16"
* bin/subst.winner-index.sh VERSION="1.1.1 2024-01-16"
The `bin/readme2index.sh` tool was improved so that
if the `index.html` file exists and the tool forms
the exact same content, then the file `index.html`
file is NOT touched.
* bin/readme2index.sh VERSION="1.1 2024-01-16"
We used the following command to generate `index.html` files
for all winning entries:
```sh
bin/all_run.sh -v 3 bin/readme2index.sh
```
NOTE: We have not (yet) built HTML files above the winner directory
level (e.g., no year level nor top level HTML), nor have be built
non-index HTML files for winners.
NOTE: By default we are running `pandoc(1)` with:
```
--fail-if-warnings=true
```
This means that any problems with markdown to HTML
generates an error. This is done to be sure that
the HTML conversion is clean.
We had to fix the following `README.md` files:
* `2000/rince/README.md`
The reference [^2] was never used. We made a guess that [^2] applies
to the same spot as [^1]. Perhaps there is a better spot where
[^2] applies?
NOTE: For every reference, there MUST be some place where that
reference is used.
* 2012/vik/README.md
The string "$...$" is assumed to be a TeX encoded string.
NOTE: Every "$..$" needs to be backslashed as in "\$..\$".
* 2018/burton1/README.md
The reference [2] was duplicated. We changed the
second [2] to [3].
NOTE: Every reference needs to have a unique number.
* 2020/carlini/README.md
The string "$...$" is assumed to be a TeX encoded string.
NOTE: Every "$..$" needs to be backslashed as in "\$..\$".
We also found 2 errors in the `author/author_handle.json` file set:
* author/Anonymous_2001.json
The `author/Anonymous_2001.json` file was missing.
* author/Jari_Arkko.json
The winner ID for `1989_jar.1` had a typo.
The initial release of `bin/readme2index.sh` tool that converts
`READMD.md` and various JSON files such as `.winner.json`
as well as "author/author_handle.json" files.
Applied the `readme2index.sh` tool to generate `2020/ferguson1/index.html`.
We generated the `2020/ferguson1/index.html` by executing:
```sh
./bin/readme2index.sh -v 3 2020/ferguson1
```
NOTE: This above tool requires **pandoc to be installed**.
See the [pandoc web site](https://pandoc.org) for how
to install. We used _HomeBrew_ to install it,
but there is also a _macports_ process as well.
NOTE: While the above web page does have formatting issues, it is
a first attempt data driven programmatic web page generation.
Some adjustments can be made by mostly improving `ioccc.css`,
and some perhaps by modifying how `bin/pandoc_wrapper.sh`
invokes pandoc. But probably most of the improvements can
be made by fixing and improving `ioccc.css`.
TODO: Fix and improve the `2020/ferguson1/index.html`
web page by fixing and improving `ioccc.css`.
Moved scripts and tools needed to generate HTML pages
into a new `/bin` subdirectory.
TODO: Consider getting rid of the [build-ioccc
repo](https://github.com/ioccc-src/build-ioccc) and just use the
`/bin` subdirectory.
NOTE: Some links in the `2020/ferguson1/index.html`
web page do not (yet) exist.
TODO: Once the basic format of the `2020/ferguson1/index.html` web
page is somewhat reasonable, generate `index.html` pages for other
winners. Generate the year level `index.html' files.
Generate the top level HTML files, including the missing
`location.html` file.
Greatly simplified the `.winner.json` file format,
removing a number of fields that were not strictly needed
for generating an inventory on a `index.html` page.
Updated various versions:
* `bin/gen-author.sh` VERSION="1.3 2024-01-14"
* `bin/gen-inventory.sh` VERSION="1.0 2024-01-14"
* `bin/manifest.winner.json.awk` VERSION="1.0 2024-01-14"
* `bin/pandoc_wrapper.sh` VERSION="1.3 2024-01-14"
* `bin/readme2index.sh` VERSION="1.0 2024-01-14"
* `bin/subst.default.sh` VERSION="1.1 2024-01-14"
* `bin/subst.winner-index.sh` VERSION="1.1 2024-01-14"
* `tmp/gen_path_list.found.sh` VERSION="1.1 2024-01-14"
* `tmp/gen_winner_json.sh` VERSION="1.1 2024-01-14"
The `.winner.json` file format from winner_JSON_format_version
"0.5 2023-11-04" to "1.0 2024-01-14".
All `.winner.json` files have been updated to use the
new `.winner.json` file format.
The manifest (`tmp/manifest.numbers` and `tmp/manifest.csv`) has
updated to use the new `.winner.json` file format.
The following procedure was used to generate the
`tmp/manifest.csv` manifest file:
0. open [manifest.numbers](manifest.numbers) in numbers: modify if/as needed
NOTE: Please try to keep the [manifest.numbers](manifest.numbers) spreadsheet
in order order. Use Organize -> Sort -> ((Sort Now)) to sort.
NOTE: Empty fields in the [manifest.numbers](manifest.numbers) spreadsheet
are not allowed. By default, a cell that is empty is colored
as a warning.
1. File -> Export To -> CSV...
* 1a. `[ ]` Include table names (unset)
* 1b. Text Encoding: Unicode (UTF-8)
* 1c. Click ((Save..))
2. Save As: manifest.csv
* 2a. Select the `tmp` directory
3. Click ((Export))
* 3a. If needed click ((Replace))
4. Execute ./tmp/[fix_csv.sh](fix_csv.sh)
NOTE: You must run the [fix_csv.sh](fix_csv.sh) in the above
step in order to make the CSV file usable by other tools.
NOTE: If no changes are needed in the above step, the
original file content will be restored.
5. Execute ./tmp/[gen_path_list.found.sh](gen_path_list.found.sh)
NOTE: The above step silently performs a `make clobber` at the
top level, and so it takes a bit of time.
NOTE: If no changes are needed in the above step, the
original file content will be restored.
6. Execute ./tmp/[check_path_list.sh](check_path_list.sh)
NOTE: The above step prints nothing and for an exit 0, then
all is well. If there is a problem, such as files
found that are not part of the manifest, or files
in the manifest that are not found, then an error
message will be printed and the tool will exit non-zero.
If errors are reported, go back to step 0 and
correct the errors.
7. Execute ./tmp/[run_all.sh](run_all.sh) ./gen_winner_json.sh
NOTE: The above step will take a few seconds to run. It will rebuild
all `.winner.json` files for all winners.
NOTE: If no changes are needed in the above step, the
original file content will be restored.
8. Execute `git status` and inspect changes
NOTE: Check in changes if and as needed.
NOTE: In a number of shell scripts under `bin/*.sh`,
and in the `bin/manifest.winner.json.awk` script
you will find comments of the form:
```
```
This is a note that when tools such as `jnamval` (and `jval` and `jfmt`) are
ready, these gross hacks should be replaced with calls to those tools.
Until they are ready, some must be careful with the layout of JSON files.
A number of bugs and typos have been fixed.
NOTE: Fixing typos in the files touched by this comment is welcome.
This includes scripts, data files, text files, etc.
The _inventory_order_, _display_as_, _display_via_github_. and
_winners_text_ fields of the [manifest.numbers](manifest.numbers)
spreadsheet were just set to have some initial values.
As they impact the inventory displayed on `index.html` pages,
their content needs to be improved.
NOTE: Improving the above mentioned fields of the
[manifest.numbers](manifest.numbers) spreadsheet is welcome.
Update the manifest as per recent file changes.
Removed inventory.html from all winners as the inventory will be
added to the winner `index.html` instead,
Updated winner `.winner.json` files as per the above.
In some cases the comments were there but there was no section heading.
In others the section was not there at all.
These files have NOT been checked in other ways. That will come another
day most likely and very possibly not until early next year.
For the top level and year level README.md, where email are found,
a note was added to the effect that email addresses found above are
for historical purposes only, and should not be used today.
Old references to asking for fixes, comments, when content was used,
and next contest links were replaced with a general reference to the FAQ.
Harmonized the Copyright and License and copyright dates.
Now using Creative Commons "CC BY-SA 4.0 DEED Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0
International".
The above Creative Commons will become the standard for the IOCCC.
Replaced old `png/by-sa-3.0-88x31.png` with a new ` png/by-sa.88x31.png` icon.
Updated the top level HTML files to use the license.
Using 2018/mills (an amazing entry) with trial and error I was able to
determine the approximate speed that the :-) moved across the screen and
now the alt code moves at almost exactly (I believe, at least) that
speed.
The mullender.alt2.c was deleted; instead that became mullender.alt.c.
This is because (I believe but have not confirmed) that the original did
not exit after it timed out and there's no need to have two alt versions
when they're so similar. One is good enough and the obvious choice is
the one that can keep going on.
.gitignore updated.
fix experimental web site links in experimental index.html
sync CNAME with https://github.com/ioccc-src/winner/blob/master/CNAME
improve .gitignore files
Added to each .gitignore file, comments on how to sort.
Put into winner .gitignore files, ignore *.dSYM files.
Put into winner .gitignore files, ignore indent.c,
indent.o and indent files. This is done so that the
winner directory can more self contained.
We did not put into winner .gitignore files, however,
excludes of .-files as found in the top level .gitignore file.
As .-files are not allowed by mkiocccentry, the top level
.gitignore file remains sufficient.
Added to year level .gitignore files, excludes of
mkentry or iocccsize files as needed.
Sorted (via sort -d -u) all .gitignore file.
Add .path files to each winner directory: a file containing
the path to the winner directory from the top directory.
Changed YYYY/.year files to contain the paths, from the top
directory, if the winning directories for the given year.
Changed `/.top` to contain the IOCCC years.
Added `make genpath` rule to the top Makefile and the
year Makefiles to generate the above.
Added FAQ 6.8 to `faq.md` to explain the above.
Updated manifest to reflect recent changes to the list of files.
The #define char can be used as long as main() does not have two args
which it does not need to work. But since some versions have an
additional defect that main() can only have 0, 2 or 3 args (but see
below) it was made so that main() no longer has any args: instead the
'int i' was moved to be inside main() and set to 1 (it cannot be 0).
The version where I noticed that clang whines about the number of args
to main() will whine if it has, say, 4 args, but it will not if it has
1 and it has never whined (as an error) about passing too many args to a
function. Thus on line 29 the call to main() still passes the same
variable to main().
If clang or the ANSI C committee ruin more perfectly fun programs (both
of which seem possible) then the #define char could be renamed say to
shar or else commented out with an adjustment to 'k' (see the diff for
this commit below for where I originally had it to what it is now) or
alternatively (at the expense of making it even less like the original
in obscurity) one could remove the parameter to main() on line 29.
The way 'k' changed in this commit:
#define char k['a']
#define union static struct
extern double floor(double);
double (x1, y1) b;
-/*char x {sizeof(
- double(%s,%D)(*)()) */
-int
-k['a'] = {sizeof(
- int(*)())
+char x {sizeof(
+ double(%s,%D)(*)())
,};
struct tag{int x0,*xO;};
but now it's improved upon.
Rather than check if $(CC) IS gcc or IS clang check for $(CC) containing
gcc or clang. This is because in some systems or conditions the compiler
might not be called JUST gcc or JUST clang. For instance gcc in MacPorts
is called gcc-mp-13 (for example) but without this change one would have
to symlink gcc to gcc-mp-13 or copy it to gcc.
The FAQ has been updated to address this.
Due to GitHub not serving nor rendering HTML files whose filename
starts with "." (dot), we renamed `.inventory.html` to `inventory.html`.
Renamed: `tmp/gen_dot_winner.sh` -> `tmp/gen_winner_json.sh`
Fixed URL generation for GitHub links in `inventory.html`.
The manifest was updated accordingly.
The `tmp/README.md` file was updated accordingly.
Fixed an incorrect author win for "1989_jar.2" in `author_wins.numbers`
and `author_wins.csv`.
Changed winner_JSON_format_version to "0.5 2023-11-04".
Added `gen_dot_winner.sh` tool to generate .winner.json and .inventory.html
for a winner. This tool uses [pandoc](https://pandoc.org) to convert
markdown to HTML.
Used this command to generate `.winner.json` and `.inventory.html` for
all winners:
```sh
./run_all.sh -v 1 -D 1 ./gen_dot_winner.sh
```
Updated `tmp/README.md` to reflect the above.
Retired "fake.gen_inventory.sh" to `tmp/OLD_manifest/fake.gen_inventory.sh`.
Added `-D level` flag to `run_all.sh` to specify the `-v level` for
the tool that is being run.
As requested on GitHub: a tool that will be written, readme2index, will,
as explained:
'... will take the converted HTML from the README.md markdown and
inject it into an HTML template. Things such title, award one and
author information will be injected into the HTML page ahead of the
HTML that was converted from the README.md markdown. Without going
into details of HOW at this time, the result will be a coherent HTML
index.html page with the winner title / award, winning author
information, and important file links come from other sources and
NOT from the README.md file.
The text from the 1st award line, thru the authorship information,
and up to but not including the "## To build:" line in the README.md
file will just get in the way. Moreover authors might be tempted to
try and maintain that top of README.md text instead of working with
the author/_author_handle_.json and winner .winner.json files.
This was done with my[0] sgit(1) (https://github.com/xexyl/sgit) tool like:
sgit -o -n -e '/^## To build:/,$p' '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]/*/README.md'
[0] Is that shameless self-promotion? I don't know but I don't care: it
is generally a very useful tool and has been used in other repos too.
Besides, I've done it many times before and it's a great example that I
will be adding to the README.md file of the tool, one I hadn't thought
of doing.
Fixed cases where there was a bad trailing backslash.
Improved a few cases where a code block was needed
to highlight some text.
Changed a few cases where a code block needed to
declared as, say, a sh code block.
Fixed a few cases where the winner information was not properly formatted.
Plus a few nits and clarifying text was added.
Minor corrections in the README.md and bugs.md.
The README.md was not checked for other issues at this time. When that
happens 1984 should be complete in every way except that 1984/README.md
has to be checked again but that will happen after the other entries of
all the other years are done.
Somehow I ended up having the string on one line when the author had it
on two lines which is also something they liked.
This update should (unless the format of the alt code section needs to
change with discussion) be the final edit of README.md.
The `.id` files are no longer needed and so they were removed.
The `winner_id` (the contents of the `.id` files) are simply
a concatenation of "year" and "_" and "dir".
Adjusted `.inventory.html`, `tmp/README.md`,
`tmp/fake.gen_inventory.sh`, and the manifest according
to the above.
The new tool, tmp/fake.gen_inventory.sh, now adds
a fake .inventory.html file to each winner entry.
Once the winner2nventory tool is written, the .inventory.html
will contain links to all winner files listed in the inventory.
For now, the tmp/fake.gen_inventory.sh tool just creates
a placeholder file.
As the definition of INABIAF changed, again, and since it took no more
than ten seconds to fix, I have fixed this entry.
As the thanks file was updated for this some other things that had been
left out were also fixed at the same time as these were already in the
file but not committed. There was also a typo fix in there.
The entries referenced in `bugs.md` now have, below the
"To build:" section, a "Bugs and (Mis)features section text"
that matches the `bugs.md` status.
Several entries had their "STATUS" changed from:
"STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix" to:
"STATUS: known bug - please help us fix":
This was done because, while some of the bugs were minor,
inviting someone to try and fix the issue does nil harm.
In a few cases a more difficult bug was also changed to
the "please help us fix".
While we do NOT want to waste time fixing such entries NOW,
letting others become involved and to try to fix the entry
is a good thing as to encourages people to study the entry
and try to fix the entry. We don't need to accept a fix
that is offered, and of the fix transforms the source in
a less than desirable way, such a fix (if accepted) could
be become a alt source code.
It turns out that putting a / in a level 2 header
makes it hard to link to in some cases.
So instead of using a level 2 header of the form "year/dir"
we use a level 2 header of the form "year dir".
As the `bugs.md` has grown, the need to link into a specific
section of the `bugs.md` has become apparent. While there
are links the entry's `bugs.md` section, due to the
complexity of a head such as:
the links within the header will make it hard for
markdown to html to form such links.
Instead the level 2 header has been transformed into:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv--- level 2 header below ---vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^--- level 2 header above ---^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We made a test modification to `1984/laman/README.md` to
refer to this section as:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv--- reference to the level 2 header below ---vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
The current status of this entry is:
```
STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix
```
For more detailed information see [bugs.md#1984/laman](/bugs.md#1984-laman).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^--- reference to the level 2 header above ---^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
One advantage of the above section is that it contains only
a single link into `bugs.md`.
In particular we use the following string as a link into `bugs.md`:
/bugs.md#1984-laman
We plan to verify that this is the proper way to link into `bugs.md`
after we push this commit.
During these edits, we discovered a set of quasi-duplicated
big entries spanning from 1998 thru 2013. We say quasi-duplicated
because the repeated information was not the same.
We made a guess in `bugs.md` as to which parts were correct,
however our guess may have been incorrect. Therefore, we
preserved the two sets in two files.
The 1st set of 1998 thru 2013 is found in: `bugs-1998-2003-parta.md`.
The 2nd set of 1998 thru 2013 is found in: `bugs-1998-2003-partb.md`.
Please inspect the sets, and if needed, update `bugs.md` as needed.
Please remove `bugs-1998-2003-parta.md` and `bugs-1998-2003-partb.md`
when you are done.
Swap order of alt and original code in build/try sections so that the
original code is suggested second, after alt code, with the bugs and
(mis)features added to the README.md file, pointing out that it'll only
work on VAX-11 / PDP-11 machines. This is added in the bugs.md (it was
actually missing from the bugs.md file).
The alt code (both versions, see below) now have a lower limit on the
microseconds at 500 (still defaults at 10000). This is because anything
much lower and it's nigh impossible to see and in some cases it won't
work at all (at least in the MacBook Pro with the M1 chip).
Added second alt code which is like the first except that once it times
out it starts over.
Running make alt will compile both alt versions.
The gentab.c file that I added (found from the author) and fixed to
compile could not always create code that would compile due to some
characters needing to be escaped like ' and \. These are now escaped if
they are encountered but there certainly could be more that I did not
think of that would have to be escaped.
