| Jun 18, 2015 at 2:42 | comment | added | max-m | Just did some tests (not a C/C++ programmer) with GCC 4.9.2: gist.github.com/max-m/0cb1f1584357566f09f8 Your GCC 4.5.2 seems to generate more output for your example. Oh and by the way your modified example is 29 bytes in size, if I’m not mistaken (should increase your score a tad bit). :) | |

@JasonC: That's what I get for trying to make my answer different. Your iff generates a lot of additional output, so I guess the performs the same number of iterations, but each one has more bytes in it.

| Jun 13, 2015 at 18:19 | comment | added | Jason C | @Dennis The moment you posted that comment, my re-compilation attempt after this morning's unfortunate window closure finished, with 80,797,292,934 bytes of output (which is weird, because gcc finishes fine with a second include in my version, but crashes on your original version after only half the output). So adding a second include to mine here would lead to 80797292934/(46*5)=351,292,578, which is actually higher than the one you've got now! Probably a bit higher with "a.C" too. | |

@Dennis Whoa, nice! I'm going to leave the answer as-is since I didn't think to add a second #include on my own. As for it being infinite... if it's still running when I wake up tomorrow morning, it's infinite enough for me. Will keep you posted, ha (although, it's currently piping 5.1MB/sec to wc, so if wc is using a 32-bit counter, by my calculations something weird may happen in about 13 minutes.)

I think you can claim an infinite score if you add a second #include"a.cpp".
