You won't have the shortest code if You just print "Success". Look for some tricks.

Thank You! I tried the -ansi and -std=c89 compiler switch*, but i still get exit code 0 at home when i run: 'main(){perror(!dup2(1,2));}'

*= gcc-4.3 -std=c89 -ansi -s -pipe -O2 -lm -fomit-frame-pointer main.c -o main

@Zoltán Zámbori: Make sure you test at home as C89 (for example: -ansi), because C99 standard says the following: "reaching the } that terminates the main function returns a value of 0"

NZEC, but i don't know why:

main(){perror(!dup2(1,2));}

At home the exit code is: 0

The judge system is wrong. At home my codes print "Success" and the exit codes are 0, but here the judge give NZEC or WA. Very frustrating :-(((

@Zoltán Zámbori - Maybe You will find it with Google, but I doubt because there were only 3 sites where this trick was just mentioned. But I found them when I paste that trick to Google, so it would be much more difficult to find it not knowing it.
Nevertheless, good luck (if You still want to find it). ;-)

Well,both (i) & (iii) trick will result to the same number of bytes,I tested both in one of my solution,(iii) also fails where (i) fail.

'here was method I' is accepted by the judge, but
'here was method II' get NZEC, and
'here was method III' is accepted.

Now what is the preferred method to find the "simple trick"?

Probably Piotr meant 'there was a code here'

Although it's a bodge and doesn't like to work for every NZEC.

It returns 8 on my Ubuntu. We are not playing on the same field ...

I send "main(){!puts("Success");}", i get an NZEC.

The role of the NZEC is to catch interpreter errors. But i send C code ...

Your code get NZEC because puts is always true so it returns 1 not 0. You can add '!' in front of puts and You will get AC.
I don't know how to test NZEC at home, but I will write to SPOJ team and on spoj.pl/forum and maybe they will enlighten us.
