Your code assumes it is running in a POSIX environment [+20 point of FAIL]
- cperciva 16y agoAssuming that you're running on POSIX is pretty safe these days. Even Windows has a POSIX compatibility layer. I'd go so far as to say that being able to build and run in a POSIX environment without needing any platform-specific configuration (or autoconfiguration) is worth at least 20 points of WIN.
- aidenn0 16y agoHaving ported (or attempted to port) significant quantities of FOSS code to a fully POSIX conformant OS that is not windows/linux/bsd, I feel pretty comfortable stating that there are no non-trivial FOSS programs that do this (and 99% of all very simple "do just one thing" UNIXy programs don't).
