Speaking of rule abuse, I love this recent entry, which uses the IOCCC's own tool to calculate the size... and abuses a bug in it! It's mainly for a joke, though there IS a huge program-size abuse in the custom BIOS the program uses. http://www.ioccc.org/2013/cable3/hint.html http://www.ioccc.org/2013/cable3/hint.html *RULE 2 ABUSE DISCLAIMER* - cable3.c is 4043 bytes in length (half an 8086) - iocccsize -i < cable3.c returns 1977 (the year the 4.77 MHz 8086 CPU was announced) - Therefore, any suspicions the judges may have regarding rule 2 non-compliance may be well-intentioned but are groundless. - Nonetheless, the author would like to apologise to the judges for the one-big-block-of-code nature of this entry, which turned out to be unavoidable. Hopefully the joys of this entry will make up for its shortcomings.
