Now it just exits 1 if a file cannot be opened. I do have a concern with
this type of fix which I will bring up on GitHub but it seems better
anyway to not crash with invalid input unless the entry should crash.
The fact the author noted that invalid paths as a limitation suggests in
this case that it is reasonable to fix. There are other limitations /
bugs the author mentions but perhaps those should not be fixed. That
remains to be seen I guess.
I can also now confirm that this entry does indeed work as expected; I
could not test it with commit ced8177ef9
but I had to test it here to make sure the changes did not affect the
functionality.
The original source, which has a really nice layout, can be found in
prog.alt.c and is referenced in the README.md. It can be built by make
alt.
Typo / formatting fixes.
I did not run the command to see if it works because I had a cat
sleeping between my legs. He just got up but I need to do other things
now, having finished for the first pass the year 2018.
The author noted a segfault on invalid files and I might look at
addressing this but this will come later if I do (likely but probably
will move the original source to prog.alt.c as I love the format so
much).
There were many many README.md files with the wrong heading level for
different sections. These have been changed.
To help go through the changes it should be noted I used sgit and also
here is what is changed:
The 'Try', 'To build' and 'To run' lines have two '#'s. Some had one and
others had three.
An exception is that in 1984/anonymous/README.md for the alternative
code that had three '#'s. This is not consistent yet and it might be
that only two are desired. But for now that one at least has three.
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 commit 00ae59cd47 had a
mistake that introduces changes to Makefiles for 1996 thru 2020
that should not have been included.
This change reverses these intermediate changes until
the given year's Makefiles are ready.
As per discussions on GitHub the index.html and hint.html files should
be deleted in favour of README.md files (from any
.text/.txt/.markdown/.md files which will be turned into README.md in an
upcoming commit).
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?).
