## Judges' remarks:

Nearly every year, one or more people would submit what they claimed
was the world's smallest self reproducing program.  While the sizes
of these submissions varied, a quick glance would reveal that they
were too big, until this entry came along.

While strictly speaking, [smr.c](%%REPO_URL%%/1994/smr/smr.c) is not a valid C program, it is not an
invalid C program either!  Some C compilers will compile an empty file into a
program that does nothing.  But even if your compiler can't, the build
instructions supplied with this entry will produce an executable file.  On most
systems, the `stdout` from the executable will exactly match the original
source.

In the future, the contest rules will specify a minimum size that is one
character larger than this entry, forever eliminating this sort of program from
the contest.  After all, how many variations can one make on this entry? :-)


## Author's remarks:

The world's smallest self-replicating program. Guaranteed.
Produces a listing of itself on `stdout`.
