Is this like those companies that had one guy write some 100 line D utility program 10 years ago, and then people going on about how the company is "built on D"?

So I'm looking at this crazy-ass program that compiles itself. It's from IOCCC 1989 by Jay Vosburgh

[intentional blank line]
#include <stdio.h>
#define QQ      1
#define TT         1
#define cc main(c,v) int c; char **v;{char tt[12],qq[7]; int q=0,o=1,l=1,m=1;struct {int c;} f;
#define incest qq[6]='\0';tt[11]='\0';if(QQ==atoi(v[1])+1){(void)fprintf(stderr,"%s factorial = %d\n",v[1], TT);exit(1);}o=c+f
#define x ;while(EOF!=(o=getchar())){if(l && q=='Q' && o=='Q'){l=0;(void)getchar();(void)fread(qq,6,1,stdin);(void)printf("Q %6d",atoi(qq)+1);}else
if(m && q=='T' && o=='T'){m=0;(void)fread(tt,11,1,stdin);(void)printf("T %9d\n",atoi(tt)*QQ);}else {q=o;(void)putchar(o);}}exit(0);}
cc incest.c -o x 
#define zxc ;{/*
cat incest.c | x $1 >! x1
if ($status != 0) then 
exit
endif
mv x1 incest.c
chmod +x incest.c
exec incest.c $1
exit
*/

see pic rel for an explanation
and https://ioccc-src.github.io/temp-test-ioccc/1989/fubar/index.html for submission

However, being a noob, I'm confused about one part in the "de-entangled" output:

o=c+f -o;

If I try to compile this bit (which you're not supposed to, you're supposed to always start with the original script and fubar.c), it complains about
>error: invalid operands to binary + (have ‘int’ and ‘struct <anonymous>’)

So, my question is:
how do you sum a struct and an int like this? Isn't this syntax wrong?

I actually want to make a memelang given how I am dissatisfied with practically every language. Even if I end up like the guy who made D and essentially make the language I think is the most good but nobody uses, it would be fun.
But how do I make a memelang?

>>101250201
that's a typo
"ouroboros" is a define, "x" is a define
so the line "cc ouroboros.c -o x" gets split into

(ouroboros)(.c -o )(x)

and the expansion results in

(...}o=c+f)(.c -o )(;while...)

so it's actually

o=c+f.c -o ;

you can do

gcc -E fubar.c result.out

and ctrl+f "c+f"
see picrel

>>101250424
invent the syntax, attempt writing bnf just to get clarity. learn to write recursive descent parsers in c. create an enum with OP_FUNCTION1... then try to parse syntax into your bytecode. make a big switch statement in a loop that implements all of these builtin functions.

>>101250424
>Even if I end up like the guy who made D
OH RIGHT right right, worst case is you end up as an author of multiple C++ books while having a pHD in computer science with accepted proposals to the C++ standard and also worked on your 'meme' language 15+ years. WORST CASE.

Ah! I see, thanks for pointing out the typo, and also for mentioning the -E flag with gcc. Wasn't aware that was a thing for preprocessor. It makes sense now

[blank line]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define QQ      4
#define TT         6

int main(int c, char **v)
{
    char tt[12];
    char qq[7];
    int q = 0;
    int o = 1;
    int l = 1;
    int m = 1;
    struct {
        int c;
    } f;
    qq[6] = '\0';
    tt[11] = '\0';
    if (QQ == atoi(v[1]) + 1) {
        (void)fprintf(stderr,"%s factorial = %d\n",v[1], TT);
        exit(1);
    }
    o = c + f.c -o ;
    while (EOF != (o = getchar())) {
        if (l && q == 'Q' && o == 'Q') {
            l = 0;
            (void)getchar();
            (void)fread(qq, 6, 1, stdin);
            (void)printf("Q %6d", atoi(qq) + 1);
        } else if (m && q == 'T' && o == 'T') {
            m = 0;
            (void)fread(tt, 11, 1, stdin);
            (void)printf("T %9d\n", atoi(tt) * QQ);
        } else {
            q = o;
            (void)putchar(o);
        }
    }
    exit(0);
}

/* this was called with ./fubar 3 */
/* 3! = 6 */
and now running ./ouroboros with 3 also yields the right output

I accidentally'd a codeblock inside a codeblock, that's interesting

so docker containers are just VMs basically?

>>101251542
Not quite. Most containers are more lightweight, and will share the same kernel as the host, but just be isolated from everything else.
But sometimes containers are true VMs.

The code will be closed source. It will not be malicious. Trannies will not fork my project and run it into the ground. You will accept it.

I'm writing some networking stuff, and the maximum size a message for this protocol is is 128MiB, but the typical size will be MUCH smaller.
Having to write a streaming parser seems kind of annoying, but having 128MiB lying around unused, or having to do a resizeable array seems annoying too.

So I was thinking about this:

size_t len = 0x8000000;
void *buf = mmap(NULL, len, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

while (1) {
    // Done with proper polling and likely multiple calls of this, which offsets/lengths properly tracked.
    // This is just to show the point.
    ssize_t nread = recv(sock, buf, len, 0);

    parse_message(buf, nread);

    madvise(buf, len, MADV_DONTNEED);
}

mmap won't actually allocate any memory until I actually use the pages, so while I'm fucking around with small messages, I'll only be using a small handful of memory.
And madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) will actually free the pages, so if I get a big message, I won't have a bunch of unused memory sitting around for the rest of the program.

Is my understanding of this correct, and is there anything wrong with doing it this way, outside of portability?

why write anything at all then?

>>101252242
>why write anything at all then?
I mean a parser that is able to stop and restart in the middle of reading, meaning you need to properly store/serialize all of your state.
It's obviously possible, but it's easier to just not.

>no it's not
Why not?

>>101252276
>why not?
nta but other people have solved the problem. just steal their implementation? it's either blocks or streaming. if you don't have consistent block sizes (or don't want to)... then stream it.

Do compilers/runtimes eliminate automatic variables as soon as they leave their scope or do they hang around for some arbitrary amount of time?
Also can they further restrict the scope of a variable if it falls out of reference before the end of a scope?
Like for example

var cond bool
if cond {
    // ...
}
// cond is no longer used; reaped by the runtime here
// more code is here before scope terminates

Normally I tighten scope manually, with braces or whatever language feature.

Newbie question:
You must flip a C89 style boolean (using int, there's no bool). Using a conditional because we don't want to set the variable to the same thing it's already set to (though this may already get optimized away by the compiler, not sure)

Which one do you prefer? In terms of readability

A.

#define THING_EMPTY 0
#define THING_POPULATED 1
...
if (thing_state == THING_EMPTY) {
    thing_state = THING_POPULATED;
}

B.

#define NO 0
#define YES 1
...
if (thing_populated == NO) {
    thing_populated = YES;
}

C.

#define NO 0
#define YES 1
...
if !(thing_populated) {
    thing_populated = YES;
}

In B and C, we're using the "positive" case as a variable name because I don't want to get into silly shit with double negatives (ie, !(empty) )

>>101252725

thing_state = !!thing_state;

Holy shit I love programming. I wish I could code 16 hours a day and then dream of it.

>>101252725
(Pretend "THING_" isn't there, it's easier to just say EMPTY/POPULATED for a symbolic constant that can get reused in any appropriate context)
