Degenerated and empty c program code wanted

Hallo,
I want to test a software measurement tool
and need some degenerated and empty c program code.
Is there everyone who can help me?

Create a file with zero bytes in it. You can't get much more degenerate
and empty than that, unless you are really depraved!

Try compiling and measuring this:

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { return 0; }

Hard to get much more degenerate than that...

Buy some books by Herbert Schildt and use his examples :-)

Hey! I knew those books must be good for some purpose.
This post belongs into the Hall Of Comp.Lang.C sniglets.

That isn't a valid C program since main() never actually gets defined.

I think it does fit the bill as "a degenerate and empty" translation unit
though. After the preprocessor gets through with it, it boils down to the
same thing as my earlier suggestion (an empty translation unit). I'm not
sure that an empty file is valid (indeed, it generates warnings when I
"compile" one). But that also helps out in the formation of "degenerate"
translation units. This file:
int i;

also clearly fits the bill. Certainly not a program, but the title line
asked for "program code" which, through a twisted interpretation, could
also include code pieces that can be assimilated into a program.

I'm at home, so I say anything I please.
