| Sep 29, 2020 at 21:28 | comment | added | caird coinheringaahin g Mod | @water_ghosts I think the definition of error in the post already covers infinite loops ("fail to terminate [...] within a finite amount of time"), and yeah, I suppose that would technically be a pristine program, so the output requirements have been updated to exclude output to STDERR (or nearest equivalent) | |
| Sep 29, 2020 at 21:03 | comment | added | water_ghosts | You might also want to clarify whether an infinite loop that produces no output counts as an error or not. | |
| Sep 29, 2020 at 21:02 | comment | added | water_ghosts |
Your rules say that a nonzero exit code is considered an "error", and a pristine program has to produce some output. Since an exit code is a valid form of output by default, would exit(12) be a pristine program? Removing the 2 and changing it to exit(1) would be an "error" by this definition, right? You might want to clarify that exit codes aren't a valid output.

| Sep 25, 2020 at 18:59 | comment | added | caird coinheringaahin g Mod | @Sisyphus Yes it will be, and I'm having trouble preventing something like that. I'm thinking requiring unaltered programs to produce a non-empty output, but I'm not too sure about that | |

Won't the program "" be trivially pristine in a bunch of languages?

| Sep 24, 2020 at 14:15 | comment | added | caird coinheringaahin g Mod | @Razetime I've edited the definition of an error, does it now answer your question? | |

| Sep 24, 2020 at 14:06 | comment | added | Razetime | Ok, so when removing any substring of length \$n\$, if the program does not do what it's supposed to do, does that count as a runtime error? | |

| Nov 13, 2019 at 5:58 | comment | added | Jo King Mod | Wow, pristine quines are already hard enough, and now you want it to be a polyglot too? Especially since polyglots often rely on one language ignoring the executing part of the other. Also, does it need to pristine in both languages, or both combined (i.e. removing a section can work in language A, as long as it errors in language B)? | |
