Read Original

The author shares a recovered C program from 1992, originally found in dmr's (likely Dennis Ritchie's) home directory. The code uses typedefs with smiley face characters (☺☹☻) for types and variables, and discusses compilation quirks like the illegal sizeof(void). It includes the source code and historical context about its creation date.
