This includes a minor code change. I believe at this point that it's an
inherent issue of macOS but I might be wrong. I'll certainly look at
this more in the future but I'm going to try and work on the remaining
README.md files first. Time will tell how much I succeed.
I have found a problem that shows itself in both linux and macOS. In
linux it happens with both 32-bit and 64-bit but the sizes are naturally
different. It does not crash in linux however where it does in macOS.
I changed some variable types a bit as well but this still does not fix
it with macOS though they types changed are more consistent with what
they are used as.
The bugs.md has more information on what I discovered (noted above) - an
overflow.
More will have to be done on this another time in order to get it to
work with macOS.
This does not work with macOS but I'm not sure if this has to do with
macOS or the fact it's the Apple silicon chip. The fact it works in
linux makes it harder to figure out what the problem is. Still I tried
to change the protection of the mmap() call. Different values can
actually make it crash in linux as well but this does work. Of course
the fact it works with linux doesn't mean much since it already did work
with linux. This is a work in progress. Doing
make CC=clang CSILENCE= CWARN="-Wall -Wextra -Weverything" clobber all
can give a lot of interesting warnings that might or might not be
relevant including one about alignment. In bugs.md I cited where it
appears to crash.
Format fixed the README.md.
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?).
