Not sure where to put this as it's not obfuscated, but this is my first attempt at writing a program that parses in two different languages. Specifically, this Perl program compiles as C code under Cygwin with:
gcc hel2.c -o hel2 -Wall -ansi
I'm embarrassed by all of the cheap preprocessor instructions in there. It seems like a cop-out.
#include <stdio.h>
#ifdef _FSTDIO
#define $i i
#define sub
#define main int i; int main
sub main() {
#else
sub main();
#endif
for ($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
{
printf("Just another Perl hacker,\n");
}
return(0);
}
#ifndef _FSTDIO
main();
#endif
Okay, not very good. Shoot me :) Since I did specify -ansi on the command line of the C compiler, I expect that this will work on any C compiler.
Cheers,
Ovid

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).
