Microsoft and other non-GNU compilers don't recognize gcc tricks
like /*NOTREACHED*/ to suppress individual warnings. clang recognizes most
of them because it tries to be gcc-compatible. Because of that, a lot of
potentially useful warnings have had to be completely suppressed in the
past in all source files when using the non-gcc compatible compilers.
Now that the code is C99, take advantage of a way to suppress warnings for
individual functions, a big step up from suppressing the warnings
altogether.
Unfortunately, it does require a bit of ugliness caused by the
insertion of some macros in a few spots, but I'm not aware of
a cleaner alternative that still allows warnings to be enabled
in general, while suppressing a warning for known white-listed
instances.
Prior to the warning-tiggering function, place whichever one of
the following is needed to suppress the warning being encountered:
DISABLE_WARNING_UNREACHABLE_CODE
DISABLE_WARNING_CONDEXPR_IS_CONSTANT
After the warning-triggering function, place this:
RESTORE_WARNINGS
Under the hood, the compiler-appropriate warning-disabling
mechanics involve the use of C99 _Pragma, which can be used
in macros.
For unrecognized or inappropriate compilers, or if
DISABLE_WARNING_PRAGMAS is defined, the macros expand
to nothing.
I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!
botl.c conversions. All the ports seem to be using genl_status_update(),
rather than a window port specific version, so botl.c was the only place
this had to be adjusted.
Also a uudecode cast for the result of strlen, since it isn't using
config.h
