When language is specified in a markdown code block such as:
````
```c
printf("Hello, world!\n");
```
````
is used, the resulting HTML as produced by `pandoc(1)` combined
with our revised `ioccc.css` is not intent the code block well.
A temporary "_hack-a-round_" is to turn the "markdown code language
specifier" into an HTML comment. For example:
````
```<!---c-->
printf("Hello, world!\n");
```
````
This commits turns off existing markdown code language specifiers
for now, while preserving our ability to restore them in the future
when a better "_hack-a-round_" to the "markdown code language
specifier" problem is found.
The HTML impact if this "_hack-a-round_" is to produce HTML that
looks like this:
```
<pre class="<!---c-->"><code> .. </code></pre>
```
We might be able to create a complex set of classes for each markdown
code language (there won't be very many) in `ioccc.css`, or we might
find a more general CSS (or maybe `pandoc(1)`?) solution.
For now, this hack-a-round will have to do.
To build:
make all
NOTE: we FORCE disable the optimiser due to a funny problem with different compilers and systems. See below and compilers.html for details.
There is an alternate version. The reason is a funny problem: in modern systems, depending on the platform, compiler and the optimiser, it would work with one compiler with the optimiser but it would not work with the other; and if the optimiser state is changed the previous problematic compiler might work but the other one would not. We describe this in more detail in compilers.html and we encourage you to read it for entertainment if nothing else.
To use:
./marshall
Alternate code:
Due to the different conflicting problems with gcc and clang, we
instead offer the problematic code as an alternate version whereas
marshall.c has both the infinite loop and the complicated arg to
_exit() commented out, changing the value passed into _exit() to 1.
Alternate build:
To see if your compiler has the problems noted:
make alt
Alternate use:
./marshall.alt
Does it work in your system? That is does it not segfault, does it print it only once and does it not enter an infinite loop? Or more generally does it print the text exactly once and then exit?
Judges' remarks:
This program prints the name of the picture. The layout is somewhat pretty though it is not the usual sort of output one would expect from printing a program!
This program was selected for the 1987 t-shirt collection.
