Choo choo! :-)
There was a problem in linux where it either segfaulted or entered an
infinite loop depending on compiler / flags. This was caused by a for
loop that had an empty condition and the call to _exit().
A game of cat and mouse occurred where fixing it for one compiler caused
the program to segfault with the other compiler. Unfortunately the
formatting did have to change a bit but it still mostly looks like a
train even if not quite as pretty.
Choo choo!
This did not take much that work but it required some casts because the
third arg to main() was an int and now it's a char **. I tried to keep
the layout as close to the original. The line lengths are the same as
the original but some spaces are now non-spaces. I noted this in the
README.md.
As well in the README.md I have added an author's comments section.
Still working on other README.md files for this. However I might try and
get some entries to compile that previously did not. There was another
entry in 1986 that this was not so simple to do so I moved on. Maybe I
will revisit that another time (1986/holloway).
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?).
