The location of the link is in the About menu under the 'Contacting the IOCCC' and above 'Thanks for the help'. At first I had it at the very bottom, under 'IOCCC markdown guidelines', but it seemed better to have it closer to contacting the IOCCC. This is the same location in the no JavaScript menu (which, for those who do not know or forget, is not a requirement except for some screen sizes). The top level Makefile has a new 'security' rule. Updated make help. Typo fixes in make help. SECURITY.html has had a few updates as well: change the wording of entry code is unsupported (it now says 'ALL CODE IN ALL IOCCC ENTRIES IS UNSUPPORTED!!') and it now links to the mkiocccentry repo and how to report a possible security vulnerability in that repo; as that IS supported - and since there was reference to discussing security concerns is in SECURITY.html - even though the entries will not receive security updates - it seemed a good idea to have a link to report such security issues in the mkiocccentry repo. Perhaps the FAQ needs to be updated for this too.
To build:
make all
To use:
./august
Try:
./try.sh
If you have the primes(6) tool (sometimes part of
BSD Games) you can see
what of the output in the first N (say 15 or 25) lines are primes:
./primes.sh # 15
./primes.sh 25
Note that try.sh will run this script anyway, telling you where to get
primes(6) if you don't have it installed, but it will only run with the
default value of 15, rather than trying several different values.
Judges' remarks:
An interesting use of a recursive call to main(). Compile and execute
without args. What is the initial value of b? Does it alter the
action of the program?
If you let it, the program will continue to print a numerical sequence (can you guess in what base it is printed by looking at the code?) until you run out of memory or until they sell your computer, whichever comes first.
If you use the primes.sh script can you figure out if there's anything funny going on with the output?
