  • \$\begingroup\$ I really like this one, but I'm not sure I can accept a .o output, since I did say ELF/.exe/etc. (and compiling this fully optimises it all out!). Still, +1 (and confirmed) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 12, 2016 at 23:01

    \$\begingroup\$ Update: As Ben Voigt points out on his answer, GCC on Linux does generate ELF files as .o output, and I've been able to confirm the <3,14> variant with it, so yup - this is valid. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 13, 2016 at 0:34

    \$\begingroup\$ I was expecting something absurd to come out of C++ templates. I wasn't expecting the Ackermann function. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 13, 2016 at 9:42
  • \$\begingroup\$ won't Fibonacci give you a smaller code and better output size control? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 14, 2016 at 21:45

    \$\begingroup\$ But we want bigger code! Fibonacci gives almost the same size as pure linear code (but longer compile time that the linear). You could certainly have fun with a static array of size A+B in each class, now I think of it... \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 15, 2016 at 13:40
