Prepare for the winners of **IOCCC28**. > However these are not the 2024 droids you are looking for. :-) The HTML menu (both JavaScript and non-JavaScript) has been updated. The `Status -> Rules and guidelines' have been replaced with two separate menus `Status -> IOCCC rules` and `Status -> IOCCC guidelines`. Added a new top level `social.html` page: built from a new `social.md`. Sorted rules for building specific web pages in the top level `Makefile`. Added `make social` to make the `social.html` page from `social.md`. The `bin/gen-top-html.sh` now is able to process a argument of **social** to process the new top level `social.html` page. Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13" to "2.0.1 2025-07-25". Below `About -> Home page` a new `About -> IOCCC social media` menu item as added. Because the menu change touched every HTML file, we changed the general copyright date range for HTML files from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025" due to the extensive changes made for **IOCCC28**. Those markdown files that were modified in 2025 had their copyright date range also changed from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025". Rebuilt tarballs and sitemap due to the extensive HTML rebuilding. Ran `make update` to perform the above.

<h3 id="deobfuscation">Deobfuscation</h3>
|
|
<p><code>calc</code> is a recursive-descent parser. It allocates from the stack deep enough
|
|
that all expressions are exhausted before the recursion stack depth reaches the
|
|
allocations. The memory map and source is documented in
|
|
<a href="src.doc.txt">src.doc.txt</a>. Tokens are encoded using values 0-20, where 0 is an
|
|
invalid token, 1 is minus, 2 is space, 3 is plus, etc. The necessary constants
|
|
are derived at the start of the program, using the guarantee that globals are
|
|
initialized to zero; so a correct NULL pointer is obtained from an uninitialized
|
|
global pointer variable, and the integers from uninitialized global <code>int</code>
|
|
variables. If <code>x</code> is a global <code>int</code>, then <code>!x</code> is <code>1</code>, and the derivation
|
|
proceeds from there, using some identities that are confusingly similar and
|
|
interestingly combined (increasing obfuscation):</p>
|
|
<pre><code> obc clr
|
|
--- ---
|
|
-~x x+1
|
|
~-x x-1
|
|
y-~x y+x+1</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The derived constants are a compromise between simple expressions, maximum utility,
|
|
and minimum number of variables used.</p>
|
|
<p>Command line arguments are copied into the upper half of the input buffer,
|
|
separated by a space. This allows the code to have a single input parser by using
|
|
a pointer-to-func to either <code>getchar(3)</code> if live, or a <code>getchar(3)</code> simulator.</p>
|
|
<p>A small amount of obfuscation comes from <code>void</code> functions declared <code>int</code>, but
|
|
missing <code>return</code>. This is necessary to allow these functions in ternary <code>?:</code>
|
|
expressions and paired with <code>&&</code> and <code>||</code>; but the requisite returns would add
|
|
symbol count at no benefit to obscurity or functionality. Function
|
|
decomposition was mostly chosen to avoid curly braces: if a <code>for</code>-loop required
|
|
multiple statements, the body became a new function. Last, but not least:
|
|
sharing state via global variables is an ancient and honored form of
|
|
obfuscation, and remarkably effective.</p>
