the messed up XS.c I posted the other day was due to a posting length limitation on this site.
I'm about to post a discussion regarding the misleading preview of large posts. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
If you really need to post such large sections then your 2 main options are either to use an off-site location (like a pastebin or a Gitlab snippet or your own site, even) and link to that or else the old favourite of gzip and uuencode.
(massive temporary code section removed) and the discussion is now here.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
