Creating functions in data space

[Nathan Glasser]

A couple of years ago there was a "contest" on usenet for the most
obscure/unreadable C code. The winner was a program which was of the form


char *main[] = { ... };

Where ... is a sequence of bytes. I remember that they were given in
all the possible ways: some in decimal, some octal, some hex, some characters.

There was only 1 file, and it compiled and ran fine on vaxen, and I think
was supposed to work on pdp's too. I think it did some little tiny
animated type thing using backspaces to erase and move something across
the line.

Anyway, isn't this putting code into the data space?
