While not strictly necessary, replacing the two ASCII tab characters in the markdown copyright comment makes it easier to detect problematic TAB indentation within markdown files. After this commit, only 90 markdown files have leading ASCII TAB characters. And again, while not strictly necessary, we can consider running expand on those 90 markdown files to see what effect that might have on the HTML files they produce. Replace leading ASCII TAB characters with multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters (the default action of the `expand(1)` tool) might have an negative effect on some HTML formatting where **hack-a-round** formatting was attempted to fix broken indentation caused by problematic ASCII TAB characters. Think of this as a baseline for evaluating leading TAB characters within markdown files. TODO: Consider either using `expand(1)` to replace leading ASCII TAB characters with multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters AND/OR modifying the appropriate `bin` tool to convert leading ASCII TAB characters into multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters.
To build:
make
To use:
./dhyang
Try:
./try.sh
Judges' remarks:
A beautiful combination of solving several different problems, but mostly, the single most impressive layout we've ever seen. Many programs have one interesting layout; this one has four.
It may be informative to run the code through a "beautifier", to study it, but the layout itself is where most of the interest lies.
Author's remarks:
This one is dedicated to Saitou Hajime fans ^_^x
Instead of making one self reproducing program, what I made was a program that generates a set of mutually reproducing programs, all of them with cool layout!
For your enjoyment:
- Compile dhyang.c.
- Run
./dhyangand redirect output to another.cfile. - Compile that file.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until eventually the output cycles.
To interpret the output: the dhyang.c is an image of Saitou Hajime, which eventually generates three sources files that are images of "aku soku zan" (sin swift slay), Saitou's motto ;)
For best viewing, set tab spaces to 8 characters, and set your terminal fonts to as close to square as possible. I hate to do this but you know, size...
dhyang.c and all its output compiles with gcc if your OS uses ASCII
character set. No file is included and all functions assume default int return
type (a source of compile warnings).
