C-related presents for Christmas
 
Anyone think of a C-related Christmas presents for Santa to bring to a programmer, grown up but still putting out his stocking?
 
 
-The complete C90 source code for a C99 implementation. -The ultimate present for this C developer for christmas (with my wife looking over my shoulder as I type this :-) is without a doubt a GPX2. Full and open development using SDL on a handheld dual-chip ARM processor with full gamepad controls. -A set of those USB programmable missile launchers (foam, desktop variety with tilt/pivot) that were a hot item last xmas, but sold out instantly. -You have been feeding your DS9000 too many illegal programs. -I can tell because you are out of missile launchers. I'm sure you are capable of designing your own illegal programs without the voluminous MSDN examples. -The manufacturer was out of them last Christmas as I recall. Thinkgeek.com and such were blown out about an hour after it hit slashdot.org. I simply thought they would make a neat stocking suffer (even an appropriate form factor) as the OP asked about. Plus, they luck like more fun than writing code to twiddle bits in a disk controller, at least as a diversion. Some of the example code in Navia's compiler documentation would make similarly good fodder, if some were needed. I try not to spend energy designing illegal programs, there are better things to do.
