We swapped `2024/anders` and `2024/straadt` by accident.
Sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦) about that!
We **SINCERELY APOLOGIZE** to both **Anders Kaare Straadt**
and **Sebastian Macke** for the mix up!
We normalized some of the `.gitignore` files for some
of the 2024 winning entries.
Rebuilt 2024 tar files.
Updated `sitemap.xml`.
Ran `make update` to perform the above.
To build:
make all

STATUS: known bug - please help us fix
For more detailed information see 2024/kurdyukov4 in bugs.html.
In fixing this bug you will come to a better appreciation of how the code was able to process random data files as large as 64K.
To use:
./prog < data > out.c
Try:
./try.sh
Judges' remarks:
This program assembles data from standard input and write C code on standard output:
./prog < input > out.c
When if you have the patience to compile and if your C compiler does not object, the resulting program when run:
cc out.c -o out
./out > output
re-assemble the original input WITHOUT USING ANY LITERALS in the C code it produced!
You mind may go into a spiral as you attempt to read and understand how this is done. :-)
Author's remarks:
No Literals Encoder
This program creates C code that will output the specified data to stdout. There are no literals used in the generated code.
- Binary data is supported.
- If there was a lot of data on the input (even just 64KB), then compiling the generated code can be a good stress test for the compiler.
- Why a spiral? I don't know, just because it looks cooler this way.
