How to submit your CPS 445 assignments

Requirements:

• Unless specified otherwise, follow all (case-sensitive) naming conventions in [USP].
• Your programs must be written in C (not C++) and compile cleanly (i.e., without errors or warnings) with gcc on our Sun system. No credit will be given to i) a program not written in C, ii) a program which does not compile without warnings/errors, iii) a program that produces a run-time error (e.g., core dump or segmentation fault), or iv) a program which fails to terminate normally.
• Include comments in your code to identify which program segments address each item of the exercise.
• If the exercise involves items which are not implicit in your code, such as descriptions of the results of experiments you conducted or short answer questions, include a README in your submission. Organize this file so that it is clear which parts address which items (e.g., number items).
• Develop a Makefile which builds your program. The Makefile must include target directives for every derived file produced during the compilation process (i.e., the executable, each object file, and any other intermediate files produced during compilation). Make sure that each directive also lists all of the files on which the derived file depends, but no more, in its dependency list. Also, the Makefile must carry out only the commands necessary to bring any produced file up-to-date, i.e., the Makefile must do just enough, but no extra, work to bring the executable/intermediates file up-to-date every time make is invoked. In addition, the Makefile must have a clean directive to remove all generated files.
• E-mail all of your source code file(s) and a Makefile as a tarball attachment (using the hw#.tar or p#.tar naming convention) to your instructor by 5:55p.
• Turn in a pretty-printed hard copy of all your source code (using a2ps) in-class at 5:55p.
• The hard-copy of your source code that you submit must have be generated from the source code files in the tarball which you e-mail to the instructor.
• Your source code file(s) must be readable by vi and contain only Unix newlines (i.e., only line feeds).
