The worst possible Hello World program

Ouch. Now the article isn't just advocating overengineering, it's just plain wrong - have you contacted the author to let him know? Probably best for him to fix this up asap.

mturmon hasn't (so far), but a friend just passed me the link to this thread. Thanks nonetheless.

I'll fix it in a few minutes.

And I hope all this criticism isn't too down-heartening... at least from my part (though I strongly believe it is the same for others too) it's intended as friendly and genuine constructive criticism.

Not at all. I always welcome constructive criticism; any opportunity to improve myself, I much appreciate. For my part, any criticism I offer, including the linked article itself, I likewise intend to be constructive.

BTW, I got the string "Hello Worldp" from the first program, using the same compiler configuration. I had to use std=c99 to get it to compile (the variable in the for loop).
