The International Obfuscated C Code Contest

1995/spinellis - Abusing the rules

Abusing the rules

Author:

To build:

    make all

To use:

    ./spinellis < spinellis.c

Judges’ remarks:

While the code does not abuse the rules, its output surely does!

P.S. Does the source have any spelling errors?

Author’s remarks:

96% of the program lines (631 out of the 658) are comment text rendering the program readable and understandable. With the exception of the two include file names (needed for a warning-free compile) the program passes the standard Unix spell checker without any errors. Checking for spelling errors is considered very important for programs that are so heavily commented. This program is exactly 3217 characters long through judicious use of white space. Rule abuse? Would I ever abuse the rules?
