Traditionally, the first program a C coder is supposed to write in a new
|
||
environment is one that just prints “<span class="quote">hello, world</span>” to standard
|
||
output (and indeed it is the first example program in <a href="../K/K-ampersand-R.html"><i class="glossterm">K&R</i></a>). Environments that generate
|
||
an unreasonably large executable for this trivial test or which require a
|
||
<a href="hairy.html"><i class="glossterm">hairy</i></a> compiler-linker invocation to generate it are
|
||
considered to <a href="../L/lose.html"><i class="glossterm">lose</i></a> (see <a href="../X/X.html"><i class="glossterm">X</i></a>).
