The International Obfuscated C Code Contest (abbreviated IOCCC) is a computer programming contest for the most creatively obfuscated C code. Held annually between 1984 and 1996, and thereafter in 1998, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The 24th IOCCC Winners )〕 it is described as "celebrating () syntactical opaqueness". The winning code for the 22nd contest, held in 2013, was released in January 2014. Prior to 2004, entries were submitted by email. In 2004, for the 17th IOCCC, the competition switched to using a web-based submission process. Entries are evaluated anonymously by a panel of judges. The judging process is documented in the competition guidelines and consists of elimination rounds. By tradition, no information is given about the total number of entries for each competition. Winning entries are awarded with a category, such as "Worst Abuse of the C preprocessor" or "Most Erratic Behavior", and then announced on the official IOCCC website. Entries that do not make it are deleted and forgotten; the contest states that being announced on the IOCCC website ''is'' the award for winning. ==History== The IOCCC was started by Landon Curt Noll and Larry Bassel in 1984 while employed at National Semiconductor's Genix porting group. The idea for the contest came after they compared notes with each other about some poorly written code that they had to fix, notably the Bourne shell, which used macros to emulate ALGOL 68 syntax, and buggy version of finger for BSD.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 FAQ )〕 The contest itself was the topic of a quiz question in the 1993 Computer Bowl.〔("Top Execs Fail To Compute Correctly" ). ''San Jose Mercury News'' (CA). May 15, 1993. Pg. 1A. Via Newsbank. 〕 After a hiatus of five years starting in 2006, the contest returned in 2011. Compared with other programming contests, the IOCCC is described as "not all that serious" by Michael Swaine, editor of ''Dr. Dobbs''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Obfuscated C Code Contest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
