$ cal 5875707
cal: year 5875707 not in range 1..5875706


What is the significance of the year 5875706? Why stop there? This seems like some kind of RMS Michael Shuttleworth ploy to fuck us over in the calendar department.

Can you tell why they're warnings rather than errors?

Bad coding style?

Because I didn't use -Werror.

These won't work under Anonix.
month_name[LINE_MAX] = {0}, cal_head[LINE_MAX]
#include <gmp.h>
#include <langinfo.h>
#include <libintl.h>

what's wrong with month_name[LINE_MAX] = {0}, cal_head[LINE_MAX]? LINE_MAX is defined in POSIX...

#define LINE_MAX UINT_MAX

#define UINT_MAX 42

So compiling any already existent trivial UNIX program under the ANONIX SOFTWARE PLATFORM will make it consume huge amounts of memory or crash altogether?

Jeez, I wonder why the project hasn't taken off yet.

A trivial UNIX program that makes use of LINE_MAX to create a statically-sized input buffa is deemed unworthy of running on An Onyx.  All programs are to employ dynamically expanding strings when processing freeform text, including that from an untrusted source.

If we had all the utilities artificially limited to lines of fixed length, they would become almost trivial to write and offer no advantages over existing implementations.

I have several hundred million bytes of memory in my machine and I should be able to use it all when I need to, but only as much as necessary; sure, pushing LINE_MAX up to several million may be less restrictive, but then with fixed-length buffers that memory is wasted when processing smaller files.

In other words, Anonix principles exploit the full capabilities of the hardware in an as-needed fashion.

If you answered "Yes" to all of the above questions, then GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) might be exactly what you've been looking for!
