Did you run it?  If you run it, the output is a different beautifully-formatted
c-code.  If you run that, the output is another formatted c-code.  If you run
that, the output is another formatted c-code.  If you run that, the output is
the first result again.  Basically:

original -> #1
#1 -> #2
#2 -> #3
#3 -> #1

It's probably more mundane than it looks, but at a glance it's pretty slick.
Maybe RLE compression?
