Hopefully the command line for the C compiler invocation is a typo, because "gcc contestx.c -o contestx.c" will overwrite your source with the executable--which (while catastrophic if done at home with no backup) is probably not a big deal, so long as the relevant code length metrics are extracted beforehand...but still amateurish.
