It seems more like a feature than a bug if one enters input that is not
a number > 0. This was considered a bug in the bugs.md file and noted in
the README.md file but it seems like it's not something that should be
fixed but merely noted as a feature.
The fix thank you's have been moved from `README.md` to
`thanks-for-fixes.md`.
**WARNING**: Some mistakes may have been made in doing this.
We presume later changes by others will correct any issues.
The `CONTRIBUTING.md` was renamed `how-to-enter.md`.
A 3rd line of links was added to top level html such as
`contact.html`, `index.html`, `judges.html`, `winners.html`,
and `years.html`.
Improved blank line use in a number (but not all) `README.md` files.
This to make the country code consistent with mkiocccentry (and I guess
international standard country codes).
This affects many README.md files and (for one line) winners.csv.
Add to README.md that one thing (a crash without an arg) is at this time
not a bug but a feature.
Fix the statement that a negative number causes the entry to enter an
infinite loop. Instead any input that's not a number > 0 will cause the
program to enter an infinite loop.
Fix formatting in README.md.
Removed statement of judges that they fixed it for modern compilers that
object to 's' added to an int for short int as this is what I did and
the source that was imported had not been fixed though this might have
been a simple mistake. I had not noticed this before.
Update bugs.md: a known bug and one INABIAF (crashes on no arg).
Added alt code with the 1s as it's instructive to show what was once
allowed but is not now.
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.
The main link was dead but looking at the Internet Wayback Machine I
found that he changed domains and it's still valid. One entry had a
different URL but with a quick check I could not determine that it had
anything to do with him so I changed it to his own domain (which I
verified is his).
The 2001/westley/.gitignore was also updated as it has other source
files that are generated by the commands in the try section.
In some files changed the formatting was fixed to be a proper markdown
file.
There were some typos including that some README.md files that linked to
/winners.html#Cody_Boone_Ferguson actually linked to the non-existent
file /years which obviously would not work.
I also added links to the rest of the places I have fixed entries (but
see below) and I did the same for Yusuke Endoh's fixes.
As well apparently one entry I thought he fixed to compile under modern
systems does not seem to so that entry will have to be revisited another
time. That entry was 1993/jonth.
Those are the main changes here if not all of them.
Add thank you note to Cody in some README.md files, remove the warning
that 1990/westley/westley.c might not compile with modern compilers
(since I fixed it) and reworded a statement slightly. Yes I'm thanking
myself but it's actually from the judges.
Although I previously got them to all compile they did not all work. Now
they do except that jaw does not work properly in macOS (I have noticed
something odd in linux too but it appears to work mostly if not
entirely).
Yusuke Endoh pointed out for 1990/theorem that atof() nowadays needs
include stdlib.h so this was added to the file. As well I added the
inclusion of string.h for strcmp(). I also fixed some segfaults in this
entry (even though the judges pointed out that for NULL pointer one
needs the four '0 0 0 0' it still segfaulted under those conditions) so
that everything should work now under both linux and macOS. There were
iirc two parts to this: one the NULL pointer is no longer dereferenced
but also the type being passed to strcmp() was a int * and not a char *.
This prevented 1990/theorem/sorter from working at all (segfault) and as
I recall it there was another segfault I encountered as well.
For 1990/jaw Yusuke Endoh provided a ruby implementation of btoa as it's
not always available in modern systems. Thank you Yusuke!
In 1990/jaw shark.sh had to be modified as well. This had to do with '.'
not being in the default PATH.
As well I had previously made a mistake about btoa versus atob as both
were referenced in 1990/jaw/README.md. I believe I have this correct
now.
Many if not all the README files were modified with various changes
including formatting (like turning them into markdown) and section
titles amongst other things.
I seem to recall I'm missing something here but I can't recall what I
recall :-) so this will have to suffice this time round (maybe it was
the btoa/atob issue that I just remembered and added above but I'm not
sure).
My first 41st, 51st and 29th (all depending on the base) birthday
updates (possibly more will follow but this is not a certainty). All the
1990 entries now compile!
In one we used a patch from Yusuke Endoh (thank you Yusuke!) which we
credited him in the README and in another we used a tip from him (use
-ansi at the compiler line) to get the other to compile (again, thank
you Yusuke!). We fixed the others. In the case of 1990/tbr/tbr.c the
author had supplied a shorter version and we fixed that one too.
Added 1990/.gitignore which has the built files of 1990 so that after
doing `cd 1990 ; make all' running `git status .' will not show any
untracked files.
Added Makefiles for 1990 entries.
In a some cases the source code was modified.
Modified 1990 README.md files.
In some cases the program still cannot be compiled.
There is one exception:
$ find . -name '*.hint' -execdir git mv '{}' README.md \;
git statufatal: destination exists, source=1992/albert/albert.hint, destination=1992/albert/README.md
Looking at the two files they differ quite a bit so I've not changed it.
I'll bring this up on GitHub.
We we move 1988-2004 entries from all of a year's winning entries
in a single directory to each winner being in their own sub-directory
under the given year directory.
