improve .gitignore files
Added to each .gitignore file, comments on how to sort.
Put into winner .gitignore files, ignore *.dSYM files.
Put into winner .gitignore files, ignore indent.c,
indent.o and indent files. This is done so that the
winner directory can more self contained.
We did not put into winner .gitignore files, however,
excludes of .-files as found in the top level .gitignore file.
As .-files are not allowed by mkiocccentry, the top level
.gitignore file remains sufficient.
Added to year level .gitignore files, excludes of
mkentry or iocccsize files as needed.
Sorted (via sort -d -u) all .gitignore file.
Swap order of alt and original code in build/try sections so that the
original code is suggested second, after alt code, with the bugs and
(mis)features added to the README.md file, pointing out that it'll only
work on VAX-11 / PDP-11 machines. This is added in the bugs.md (it was
actually missing from the bugs.md file).
The alt code (both versions, see below) now have a lower limit on the
microseconds at 500 (still defaults at 10000). This is because anything
much lower and it's nigh impossible to see and in some cases it won't
work at all (at least in the MacBook Pro with the M1 chip).
Added second alt code which is like the first except that once it times
out it starts over.
Running make alt will compile both alt versions.
The gentab.c file that I added (found from the author) and fixed to
compile could not always create code that would compile due to some
characters needing to be escaped like ' and \. These are now escaped if
they are encountered but there certainly could be more that I did not
think of that would have to be escaped.
Due to the fact we now have .orig.c files and thus the possibility of
winner.orig or prog.orig being built I have updated all the .gitignore
files so that these files ignored. This was done with the following
shell commands, for reference:
for i in $(find 19* 200* 201[0123] -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name .gitignore) ; do echo $(dirname "$i"|sed -e 's,[0-9]\{4\}/,,g').orig >> "$i"; done
for i in $(find 201[4-9] 2020 -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name .gitignore) ; do echo prog.orig >> "$i"; done
and the two commands is because it was only in 2014 that the winning
entries were renamed to prog so prog.orig is the correct glob.
This included adding the 'a.out.h' as not all systems have it and also
I wanted it as close to the original as possible so I got a copy
(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/Research-Release/usr/include/a.out.h) from
the fabulous Unix History repo
(https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo) which I highly
recommend anyone interested in the evolution of Unix to check out!
... and yes: the repo is under the account of Diomidis Spinellis who is
a previous IOCCC winner!
To generate the tool run `make gentab'. Note that keeping the short ints
short generates a lot of negative numbers but this might or might not be
a problem: the original mullender.c has a negative number for instance.
Updated .gitignore and README.md files.
Now anyone can enjoy 1984/mullender! This was a slight change to code
originally suggested in the faq (which was also updated, see below) made
for modern systems (since CPUs are much faster nowadays the duration for
usleep was much too long so one could not really enjoy the entry).
Updated bugs.md to remove this entry from the bugs.md file.
Also updated faq.md with another item. Unfortunately I had already added
another entry to faq.md and had failed to commit it before doing this
change (and adding it to the faq): how to get X11 entries (or actually
any X11 application) to work in macOS Mountain Lion and beyond. This is
why that faq entry is on this branch. It was not intended but it felt
like this change should be on its own branch / in a separate pull
request. I did not want to temporarily modify faq.md simply for this. I
have more changes to faq.md to make but that'll be on another branch so
that I have these changes there as well.
