To build:
make all
NOTE: this version is a fixed version for modern C compilers. See the Alternate code section below for how to use the original and why one might wish to do so.
Try:
./westley
Also try:
./try.sh
to show the code with followed by the result so you can truly see the magic.
Alternate code:
This version is the original which might not work as you expect nowadays.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate use:
To see if your compiler has the problem described in the Judges' remarks below, try:
./westley.alt
Does it show the same output as westley?
Judges' remarks:
Your compiler must parse
#define _ -a
-_
as --a and not -(-a) or some other tokenized form. Some strictly
conforming ANSI C Preprocessors may object to this: for such
compilers, you can elide the non-standard token-pasting requirement
by changing the #define line to:
#define _ F-->00||F-OO--;
This is what the modified code in westley.c does whereas the alternate code is the original.
You might enjoy looking at the output of:
cc -E westley.alt.c
cc -E westley.c
