C ONE LINER

[c.lang.myself@gmail.com]

Can you determine output of following one liner by visual inspection..
It had won an award in obfuscated C contest.....


main() { printf(&unix["\021%six\012\0 "],(unix)["have"]+"fun"-0×60);}


You can also list your favourite one liner...

So what is your C related question? Your posts are getting more and
more nauseous.

Is "unix" supposed to be defined and, if so, as what?

It's the 1987 IOCCC entry by David Korn. Look it up with Google.

He says it is a one liner, so there is no way for it to be defined.

Giving the compiler the command line option "-Dunix=1" would make that
code work as expected on most of the C89 compilers I've ever used.

There were compilers that pre-defined 'unix' automatically. Such
compilers do not conform to any version of the C standard, but that
doesn't make them non-existent. It does make code which relies on their
non-conforming features off-topic.

Didn't think of that :-)

Many years ago, Unix C compilers typically predefined the macro
"unix", so programmers could write:

#ifdef unix
/* Unix-specific code */
#endif

Modern C compilers aren't allowed to do that, since "unix" is in the
programmer's namespace, but the early compilers didn't make any such
guarantees.

The above code, (with "0?60" replaced by "0x60") is from the 1987
International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC); it was submitted by
David Korn, author of the Korn shell. If you want spoilers, go to
<http://www.ioccc.org/>.

For all messages I've seen on this thread, that text displays as 0x60,

Mine is displaying it as the "times" symbol rather than the letter "x".
That is, it's not the same character as the "x" in "unix" at the start of
the line. If I save it and do a binary dump on it, it comes up as code 0xD7
rather than the 0x78 of a lower case "x". I assume Keith's news reader
substitutes "?" when the character code is outside the standard ASCII set.

You're right, I missed that distinction - I can see the difference, now
that I know what to look for. I've just checked, and it displays as the
"times" symbol in all messages in this thread.

It's a Latin-1 multiplication symbol, which looks very like a letter-x.

No, it doesn't. Firefox properly renders the non-ascii character in
"0×60" as '×', not 'x'.

It probably depends on how Firefox and the underlying OS are
configured, and what assumptions Firefox makes about the web page it's
trying to render.

Nowadays, it'd have to be a two-liner: the Standard (5.1.1.2 P 1, section
2) "A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character..."
