Here is an interesting self-replicating program (program that prints its own source code) in C++. It is interesting because unlike most quines in c/c++ it does not rely on pattern substitution of the printf or sprintf functions and it can be arbitrarily long. It instead accumulates a list of code lines and prints them all at the end in a loop. The only restriction is that no line may contain the quotation mark; using character constants and (char)34 works around that. (Copy the source out to get
