You could have a look at ftp://ftp.cs.chalmers.se/~augustss/oc.tar.gz.


This is the unobfuscated version of my winning entry in the Obfuscated
C Code Contest. It is an interpreter for a simple byte code together
with a compiler. The language the compiler accepts is a subset of C.
The source code for the interpreter is 140 lines and on a SPARC the
binary is about 16K.


The compiler can compile itself as well as the interpreter, but
is probably of no interest to you.


As you can see the code is totally void of any copyrights whatsoever,
but if you feel like it you could add my name to it.
