This is a HUGE commit and this task is not done. There are still some
changes that might need to be discussed and since so much is done here I
think it's better to let this go through and then make sure everything
is okay. When the remaining references are discussed they can also be
changed.
I did NOT include changes in the tmp/OLD_manifest directory.
Some of the changes in this commit (it might be exhaustive but it might
not be - not sure):
- In the Makefiles the WINNERS was renamed AUTHORS.
- References to winners.html were changed to authors.html.
- The FAQ named anchor 'fix_a_winner' was renamed 'fix_an_entry'.
- The JSON fields (or whatever they're called) 'winner_id' and
'winner_JSON_format_version' were changed so that 'winner' is 'entry'.
- In scripts for entries 'IOCCC winner' was changed to 'IOCCC entry'.
- 'winners_text' is now 'entries_text'. It might be better to be
'entry_text' as it's per entry but this was not noticed at first. Since
this is easy to fix I am holding off on this for the meantime.
- The script tmp/update-manifest.sh now has the commit log messages
changed to the correct terms as well.
The index.html files were updated as well with any of the above
changes.
There are some references that should NOT be updated. Two examples
caught (and maybe more have slipped through that will have to be changed
back): in 1984/anonymous/README.md the author wrote back to Landon after
being told about the famous tattoo and they used the words:
.. my entry will be the first IOCCC winner ..
but since this comes from the author it should remain so.
The other one is that winners.html should still refer to winners.html as
it informs people that it's been moved to authors.html (it does redirect
too but even so if it was changed it would defeat the purpose of the
message).
With paths like authors.html I tried to copy paste so that hopefully
there are no typos. It is possible that I did not end up doing this with
all but these can be fixed when discovered.
In macOS, for example, one of the commands suggested by the author and
by the judges (which was put into try.sh by me a while back) would cause
it to hang. The author's remarks made me try something: a file has to
first have lines starting with '#' (^#) stripped. Thus in the author's
remarks and the try.sh script this command was added:
sed -i'' '/^#/d' august.oc
and now it runs to completion.
The README.md file has been format and typo fixed and this should
complete 1996/august.
The program segfaulted which prevented it from being used. This was due
to addressing far out of bounds of the m array. This was discovered with
a debugger. But a strange problem is that one cannot use -ggdb3 - -g
works however. This is because it hangs.
Now this entry will not work (at least a part or one of the invocations)
with clang and that means that it won't work with macOS. Is it because
of some debug symbols that are being generated or something else? I
really do not know but the judges noted back then that some compilers
compile it into an infinite loop (though the command they suggested did
not have the problem - a later one did). I updated the bugs.md with
details under the status of it does not work with some compilers.
I also added the try.sh script as a convenience as there are a lot of
commands to do.
