quine    音標拼音: [kw'ɑɪn]
Quine
n 1: United States philosopher and logician who championed an
empirical view of knowledge that depended on language
(1908-2001) [synonym: {Quine}, {W. V. Quine}, {Willard Van
Orman Quine}]

/kwi:n/ (After the logician Willard V. Quine,
via Douglas Hofstadter) A program that generates a copy of its
own source text as its complete output. Devising the shortest
possible quine in some given programming language is a common
hackish amusement.

In most interpreted languages, any constant, e.g. 42, is a
quine because it "evaluates to itself". In certain {Lisp}
dialects (e.g. {Emacs Lisp}), the symbols "nil" and "t" are
"self-quoting", i.e. they are both a symbol and also the value
of that symbol. In some dialects, the function-forming
function symbol, "lambda" is self-quoting so that, when
applied to some arguments, it returns itself applied to those
arguments. Here is a quine in {Lisp} using this idea:

((lambda (x) (list x x)) (lambda (x) (list x x)))

Compare this to the {lambda expression}:

(\ x . x x) (\ x . x x)

which reproduces itself after one step of {beta reduction}.
This is simply the result of applying the {combinator} {fix}
to the {identity function}. In fact any quine can be
considered as a {fixed point} of the language's evaluation
mechanism.

We can write this in {Lisp}:

((lambda (x) (funcall x x)) (lambda (x) (funcall x x)))

where "funcall" applies its first argument to the rest of its
arguments, but evaluation of this expression will never
terminate so it cannot be called a quine.

Here is a more complex version of the above Lisp quine, which
will work in Scheme and other Lisps where "lambda" is not
self-quoting:

((lambda (x)
(list x (list (quote quote) x)))
(quote
(lambda (x)
(list x (list (quote quote) x)))))

It's relatively easy to write quines in other languages such
as {PostScript} which readily handle programs as data; much
harder (and thus more challenging!) in languages like {C}
which do not. Here is a classic {C} quine for {ASCII}
machines:

char*f="char*f=%c%s%c;main() {printf(f,34,f,34,10);}%c";
main(){printf(f,34,f,34,10);}

For excruciatingly exact quinishness, remove the interior line
break. Some infamous {Obfuscated C Contest} entries have been
quines that reproduced in exotic ways.

{Ken Thompson}'s {back door} involved an interesting variant
of a quine - a compiler which reproduced part of itself when
compiling (a version of) itself.

quine: /kwi:n/, n. [from the name of the logician Willard van Orman Quine, via Douglas
Hofstadter] A program that generates a copy of its own source text as its
complete output. Devising the shortest possible quine in some given
programming language is a common hackish amusement. (We ignore some
variants of BASIC in which a program consisting of a single empty string
literal reproduces itself trivially.) Here is one classic quine:

((lambda (x)
  (list x (list (quote quote) x)))
 (quote
    (lambda (x)
      (list x (list (quote quote) x)))))
This one works in LISP or Scheme. It's relatively easy to write
quines in other languages such as Postscript which readily handle programs
as data; much harder (and thus more challenging!) in languages like C
which do not. Here is a classic C quine for ASCII machines:

char*f="char*f=%c%s%c;main()
{printf(f,34,f,34,10);}%c";
main(){printf(f,34,f,34,10);}
For excruciatingly exact quinishness, remove the interior line
breaks. Here is another elegant quine in ANSI C:

#define q(k)main(){return!puts(#k"
q("#k")");}
q(#define q(k)main(){return!puts(#k"
q("#k")");})
Some infamous Obfuscated C Contest entries
have been quines that reproduced in exotic ways. There is an amusing
