Add deobfuscated versions of 199[1-3]/ant #2543
Conversation
Anthony/@SirWumpus kindly provided these files. The source code and their Makefiles are in a deobfuscated/ subdirectory (for each of the three entries) but running make alt from the entry directory works. It uses the deobfuscated version's Makefile but copies the compiled binary to the entry's directory to keep things clean (deobfuscated code separate from the entry) to simplify using the deobfuscated versions. Entries that had a test suite Makefile have a new one for the deobfuscated code and a try.alt.sh script was added to 1992/ant and 1993/ant but the entry_text is a bit different than the usual to indicate that it's the deobfuscated version. It might be that the way this is done should be reorganised some but that can be decided on later. The entries from 2004 and 2005 have not yet been added because some decisions have to be made as those are the ones with a configure script. The manifest was updated and the .entry.json and index.html files were updated. It is not clear yet if the inventory_order is right but that will be looked at in the next day or two. Thank you Anthony!
I am not sure either. It does keep it cleaner but as noted it's certainly possible that it can and maybe even should be reorganised some. But in what way I don't know. What would you like it to be? I am happy to change it! I just didn't know and since you weren't about (hopefully having a great day) I went for the method of using the Makefile provided there. Let me know what you think and I can change it. |

IMO the original contest winner should be in a top level directory: year/author/entry1/* with any future fixes/additions as prog[0-9].alt.c. Author supplied spoilers, background, history AFTER the win should go in year/author/entry1/*/spoiler (or what ever). Make a clear separation of the untainted original winner from the author's "notes" I think even for just one file having a directory holding this supplement separates what the judges saw and what the author's core dump. |
In some cases the author initially provided a deobfuscated version though: what then? However in the case of this commit that's what I had - deobfuscated/. But I guess we'll see what Landon thinks on this matter. My view is similar to yours (at least as I understand it). |
If it was part of judging then sure top level, if it to be viewed only later "in case of winner break seal", then it should go in something like "spoiler" . As dir name "deobfuscated" is ugly IMO. |
I'm not particularly fond of it either - depending on what it is (if it is a deobfuscated version I don't see the problem) - but Landon does not want the word |
