The top link in the topnav bar for or year level `index.html` pages now links to `years.html` instead of the very top level repo/web `index.html` page. Changed `bin/subst.year-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.1 2024-03-02" to "1.2 2024-04-04". Make `make sort_gitignore` less verbose. Changed `bin/sort.gitignore.sh` VERSION from "1.1.4 2024-03-28" to "1.1.5 2024-04-04". Performed `make www` to implement the above and test on macOS.

<h1 id="eighth-international-obfuscated-c-code-contest">Eighth International Obfuscated C Code Contest</h1>
|
||
<p>View the <code>index.html</code> web page for the given winning entry for information on how
|
||
on how to compile it and how to run the winning program.
|
||
Look at the winning source and try to figure how it does what it does!
|
||
You may then wish to look at the Author’s remarks for even more details.</p>
|
||
<p>Instructions for use: Run <code>make</code> to compile entries. It is possible that
|
||
on BSD or non-Unix systems the Makefile needs to be changed.</p>
|
||
<p>This year, we did not single out an entry that was better than all of
|
||
the rest. We selected 3 entries that, in our opinion, went beyond
|
||
all of the other entries this year:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><a href="westley/index.html">Grand Prize</a> by <a href="../authors.html#Brian_Westley">Brian
|
||
Westley</a></li>
|
||
<li><a href="dds/index.html">Most Well Rounded</a> by <a href="../authors.html#Diomidis_Spinellis">Diomidis
|
||
Spinellis</a></li>
|
||
<li><a href="brnstnd/index.html">Best Of Show</a> by <a href="../authors.html#Daniel_J._Bernstein">Daniel J.
|
||
Bernstein</a></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Name and address information are separated from the actual program
|
||
prior to judging. This eliminates any chance that we would bias our
|
||
judging for/against any person or group. In the end, we are surprised
|
||
as you are to see who has won. Even so, it is worth noting that
|
||
<a href="../authors.html#Brian_Westley">Brian Westley</a> has submitted
|
||
a winning entry for the past 5 years!</p>
|
||
<h2 id="a-few-notes-regarding-possible-changes-to-the-contest">A few notes regarding possible changes to the contest:</h2>
|
||
<p>We did not give awards to some traditional contest categories such as
|
||
“Best Layout” or “Worst Abuse of the Rules”. We felt that to do so
|
||
would deny awards to more deserving entries. These categories have not
|
||
been eliminated, and will likely be considered in future years.</p>
|
||
<p>A number of entries made use of the following C pre-processor feature:</p>
|
||
<pre class="<!---c-->"><code> #define X define
|
||
#X foo bar</code></pre>
|
||
<p>This is not permitted under ANSI C. Some ANSI C compilers do allow this. In
|
||
the future, we do not want programs to use this feature. Because this request
|
||
was not stated in the <a href="rules.txt">1991 rules</a>, we did not reject entries of this
|
||
type. However we provided more portable versions so that more people could
|
||
compile these programs.</p>
|
||
<p>This year we received entries that made use of the X Window System.
|
||
Since this functionality is now available on many systems, we feel that
|
||
programs that use these are now portable enough to be valid entries.</p>
|
||
<p>We may allow programs to make use of the X Window System libs and include
|
||
files, provided that they can operate with a system running at the level
|
||
of at least X11r4. Requiring the use of imake, a specific window manager,
|
||
specific display hardware, or a specific user interface (<code>Openl**k</code>,
|
||
<code>M*tif</code>, …) is likely not to be allowed. We will provide a more detailed
|
||
explanation of our viewpoint in next year’s rules.</p>
|
||
<p>In order to encourage more ‘normal’ looking C programs, we are considering
|
||
the following change to the maximum size rule:</p>
|
||
<pre><code> Your source, not counting any <space>, <tab>, and a <newline> character,
|
||
and not counting any ';', '{' and '}' character followed by a <newline>
|
||
character, must be 1536 bytes or less. The entire source, counting all
|
||
characters, be 4096 bytes or less.</code></pre>
|
||
<p>Some thought has been given to adding some C++ categories, however this
|
||
is not likely to happen soon. We are waiting until C++ compilers become
|
||
common place on a wide number of systems. We also need time to brace
|
||
ourselves for what obfuscation C++ could wield!</p>
|
||
<p>Be sure to wait until the 1992 rules are posted before submitting entries.
|
||
We may fine tune the rules to reflect the some ideas above.</p>
|
||
<p>Please send us comments and suggestions what we have expressed above.
|
||
Also include anything else that you would like to see in future contests.

||
