This contest stems from David’s post<\/a> regarding a script to comment out words in a C file. The general applicability of this script is questionable, but it’s still a fun exercise. Here are the instructions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Write a command-line filter which will comment out all matches of a pattern given on the command-line, reading a C program from stdin and filtering to stdout. Whether the pattern is a literal, glob, regular expression is up to the contestant.<\/li>\n
  2. The filter should ignore matches that are already contained within a comment (including C++ style comments) or double-quoted string.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The existing gawk implementation on David’s blog is an interesting starting point, though it doesn’t fulfill all the requirements above.<\/p>\n

    Samples:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. simple: input<\/a> \/ output<\/a> (“add”)<\/li>\n
    2. wacky: input<\/a> \/ output<\/a> (“wacky”)<\/li>\n
    3. deranged: input<\/a> \/ output<\/a> (“int”)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
