There was a transcription error in the comments in cstd.h for
the standard list of header files, where only the description
remained for <stdlib.h>, not the name of the file itself.
Remove several extraneous inclusions of the standard C99 headers.
Tested on the following afterwards:
Linux (using hints/linux.370) including tty, curses, qt6, and X11
macOS (using hints/macOS.370) including tty, curses, qt5, and X11
Windows MSYS2 using sys/windows/GNUmakefile
Windows Visual Studio using sys/windows/Makefile.nmake
msdos cross-compile on Ubuntu using djgpp cross-compiler
gcc has recognized various "magic comments" for white-listing
occurrences of implicit fallthrough in switch statements for
a long time:
The range and shape of "falls through" comments accepted are
contingent upon the level of the warning. (The default level is =3.)
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=0 disables the warning altogether.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=1 treats any kind of comment as a "falls through" comment.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=2 essentially accepts any comment that contains something
that matches (case insensitively) "falls?[ \t-]*thr(ough|u)" regular expression.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 case sensitively matches a wide range of regular
expressions, listed in the GCC manual. E.g., all of these are accepted:
/* Falls through. */
/* fall-thru */
/* Else falls through. */
/* FALLTHRU */
/* ... falls through ... */
etc.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=4 also, case sensitively matches a range of regular
expressions but is much more strict than level =3.
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 doesn't recognize any comments.
Plenty of other compilers did not recognize the gcc comment convention,
and up until now the compiler warning for detecting unintended
fallthrough had to be suppressed on other compilers. That's because the code
in NetHack has been relying on the gcc approach, and only the gcc approach.
The C23 standard introduces an attribute [[fallthrough]] for the
functionality, when implicit fallthrough warnings have been enabled.
Several popular compilers already support that, or a very similar attribute
style approach, today, even ahead of their C23 support:
C compiler whitelist approach
--------------------------- -------------------------------------
C23 conforming compilers [[fallthrough]]
clang versions supporting
standards prior to
C23 __attribute__((__fallthrough__))
Microsoft Visual Studio
since VS 2022 17.4.
The warning C5262 controls
whether the implict
fallthrough is detected and
warned about with
/std:clatest. [[fallthrough]]
This adds support to NetHack for the attribute approach by inserting a
macro FALLTHROUGH to the existing cases that require white-listing, so
other compilers can analyze things too.
The definition of the FALLTHROUGH macro is controlled in include/tradstdc.h.
The gcc comment approach has also been left in place at this time.
Instead of a menu listing
a - hero1
b - hero2
n - New game
q - Quit
show
a - hero1-role1-race1-gend1-algn1
b - hero2-role2-race2-gend2-algn2
n - New game
q - Quit
or
a - - hero1-role1-race1-gend1-algn1
b - X hero2-role2-race2-gend2-algn2
c - D wizard-role3-race3-gend3-algn3
n - New game
q - Quit
when any game in the list wasn't saved during normal play. (Those
are sorted by character name; the playmode is just coincidence.)
The dash for 'normal' doesn't look great but -/X/D are codes used in
entries written to paniclog. The whole playmode prefix doesn't look
particularly good but I suspect that most players relying on restore
via menu won't see it.
It should work when the character name has dashes in it but that
hasn't been properly tested.
The gender and alignment suffices reflect their value at the time of
save rather than at the start of the game. That might be considered
a bug but it was easiest.
Increments EDITLEVEL; existing save and bones files are invalidated.
The g? structs had a mix of variables that were written to
the savefile, and those that were not.
For better clarity and to distinguish those that end up in
the savefile, relocate some g? variables that get written
directly to the savefile into different structs.
This updates EDITLEVEL, although technically it probably
didn't need to, since savefile contents are not changing.

Related note:
There are some pointer variables that are heads of chains that were not
moved from 'g?' to 'sv?', because they are not actually written to the
savefile directly, but the objects/monst/trap/lightsource/timer in the
chains they point to are. That can be changed, if desired.
Examples: gi.invent, gm.migrating_objs, gb.billobjs, gm.migrating_mons,
gf.ftrap, gl.light_base, gt.timer_base
If there were outdated savefiles encountered during
startup, each individual one was getting a wait_synch
that required a <return> even though a message window
wasn't being used at that point.
Allow suppression of the individual per-file wait_synch()
calls on Windows, so that a single one can be done once
the selectsave processing is overwith.
This was a little messy because an indicator had to flow
down through validate(), uptodate(), etc.
There shouldn't be any change in how things behave on
any non-Windows platforms.
The pull request from argrath would have moved the definition of
VDECL from tradstdc.h to vmsconf.h because some out of date references
to it in sys/vms/*.c were the only place it still appeared to be used.
Instead of applying that, remove those old references.
NetHack 3.7.x requires C99 so just remove VDECL since it was present
in order to support pre-ANSI compilers. (There is at least one
comment that still mentions it though.)
This also gets rid of another chunk of tradstdc.h that was allowing
either pre-ANSI or nearly-ANSI compilers to deal with nethack's old
code. I left the USE_STDARG/USE_VARARGS/USE_OLDARGS stuff in place
even though anything supporting C99 shouldn't need that. Some or
all of the [UN]WIDENED_PROTOTYPES stuff is still there too.
Closes#1030
The consolidation of global variables from scattered source
files into decl.c and declared in decl.h was begun in 3.7.0.
Their placement in common files was done for centralized
initialization and potential re-initialization during a
"play again" scenario.
It wasn't really necessary for all of them to be housed in a
single huge structure to meet the "play again" requirement,
and the single huge structure has been a little unwieldy when
it comes to maintenance.
Following this commit, instead of one single extremely large structure
named 'g' to house all of the relocated global variables, they
are distributed into several ga through gz.
To make things easy for the developer, each variable is placed
into the struct corresponding to the starting letter of the variable.
That way, no lookup is required in order to know which struct houses
a particular variable, it is a simple match to the starting letter
for all the centralized global variables.
A global variable named 'amulets', would be found in ga.
ga.amulets
^ ^
A global varable named 'move', would be found in gm.
gm.moves
^ ^
A global variable named 'val_for_n_or_more' would be found in gv.
gv.val_for_n_or_more
^ ^
A global variable named 'youmonst' would be found in gy.
gy.youmonst
^ ^
Instead of using index() macro defined to strchr, use C99 strchr.
Instead of using rindex() macro defined to strrchr, use C99 strrchr.
If you want to try building on a platform that doesn't offer those
two functions, these are available:
define NOT_C99 /* to make some non-C99 code available */
define NEED_INDEX /* to define a macro for index() */
define NEED_RINDX /* to define a macro for rindex() */
I was looking into adding a confirmation prompt for '!' and it
isn't very promising due to sequencing issues. (The check for
whether '!' is allowed should happen before the prompt about
running it but the latter should take place in the core rather
than in the port code.) In the mean time, I noticed that VMS was
ignoring the SHELLERS value from SYSCF.
Untested implementation of a SHELLERS check on VMS. Even if it
works, it should not be using $USER as the user name to verify.
Tweaks the Unix implementation of check_user_string() but doesn't
switch the testing loop to the simpler version used by VMS which
is derived from the generic users test used by Qt.
I'm not sure whether basic formatting cleanup belongs in 3.6.1, but
there are also a couple of strings that got split and require the
implicit concatenation of adjacent string literals introduced with
C89/C90. The code itself compiles with pre-ANSI compilers, or at
least used to--most of it was developed with one....
Much of it is tabs in comments. But there was one substantive item:
an obsolete reference to "use 'Q' to Quit" after however many years....
I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!
The preliminary implementation of PANICTRACE on VMS had a "Fixme"
that this fixes, and a "TODO" that this makes moot, but the main reason
for this patch is that vmsmisc.c had been changed to call vms_define(),
which resides in vmsunix.c. Since vmsmisc.obj is linked into progarms
in util/ and vmsunix.obj isn't, enabling PANICTRACE caused linking
problems for those. This moves the code that wants to call vms_define()
into vmsunix.c (despite the fact that it's not even vaguely related to
Unix emulation), so that it only matters to nethack and doesn't impact
the utility programs anymore.
This uses a VMS facility called LIB$INITIALIZE to call code before
main() starts. It's rather messy--at least when written in something
other than assembler or Bliss--and shouldn't be needed for nethack,
but I couldn't figure out how to trap the condition signalled by
lib$signal(SS$_DEBUG) when the debugger isn't available to do so, so I
needed a way to make issuing that signal be conditional upon debugger
availability. One of the arguments passed to LIB$INITIALIZE-invoked
routines contains information that makes if feasible to deduce whether
the debugger is available.
Even when PANICTRACE is disabled, that's useful for handling abort
due to panic while in running in wizard mode.
[See cvs log for src/role.c for a much longer description.]
When picking role, race, and so forth, new menu entries allow you to
pick any of the other items before the one currently being handled. After
picking all four of race, role, gender, and alignment (or if you answered
'y' to "shall I pick for you?"), there is a followup prompt to confirm the
choices. It's a menu which also provides a chance to rename the character.
This has only been implemented in win/tty's player_selection(), with
some support code in the core that might be useful to other interfaces.
And so far, the chance to rename is only presented as a menu choice if
you've given an answer to "who are you?" prompt earlier during startup.
Also, ports that use pcmain.c aren't able to perform hero renaming yet.
