Most likely an IOCCC entry, but there are a lot that correspond to this description. Maybe you can find it back looking at previous winners of the contest: http://www.formation.jussieu.fr/ars/2000-2001/C/cours/COMPLE...


I appreciate your help, but I feel like its unlikely to be in there since it wasn't really obfuscated - it was meant to be clear in some sense of the word and had a bunch of comments explaining it.

The comments sounded natural, but lined up so each Nth column was a space (or punctuation) all of the way down the code. None of the things I am seeing in that list seem to have quite the same layout.

There was some comment about it like "some people feel code should be beautiful to enjoy debugging" or something along those lines but I don't really remember.

I have been looking for a long time though and really wish I had saved it properly when I first saw it.
