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
^ ^
Although gcc specifies support for declaring a function as
noreturn after the function name and parameters, other compilers
do so via an attribute at the start of the declaration. Add some
macro support for the attribute-at-the-beginning method:
o MS Visual Studio compiler
o Upcoming C23 standard (untested at this point)
When dist2() got changed to use coordxy parameters, a macro that uses
it in its definition was overlooked and it had (int) casts in it.
That caused a warning about possible data loss when the int
then got converted to coordxy for the dist2() call.
Give online2() coordxy parameters instead of int, like its bretheren.
Avoid a couple of implicit conversion warnings where ints were being assigned
to smaller uchar or ints being assigned to smaller short.
A couple of signed vs unsigned warnings on some rumor processing.
Avoid some signed vs unsigned warnings in mdlib/makedefs where a signed int
param eventually got used in an external call that took size_t.
Eliminate all of it by just having the outer NetHack routine also take
a size_t.
Lastly, insert some default C99 alternative time-related code
in mdlib/makedefs since asctime() and ctime() are being flagged as
deprecated in the upcoming C23 standard and will now start to trigger
warnings for anyone using a C23-compliant compiler.
The test system is Slackware 14.2, which uses Qt 4.8.7.
* WANT_WIN_QT4 is defined, and has the expected meaning. Qt 5 is still
the default.
* The QT_NO_SOUND macro now excludes all headers and declarations
relating to sound; the multimedia package is not needed to build
(on any Qt 4, 5 or 6).
* A new function, nh_qsprintf, replaces QString::asprintf, for Qt
older than 5.5. These versions do not have QString::asprintf.
* DYNAMIC_STATUSLINES is disabled for Qt older than 5.9. These versions
do not have QSplitter::replaceWidget.
Using '-u name' rather than '-uname' was being treated as '--usage'
for any value of 'name'.
'-uname' worked as intended unless name was 'sage' (or leading
substring of it). That's still the case after this fix, where the
space after -u is now necessary for that special case name.
Instead of using a compile-time macro to suppress inclusion of the
menu entry to show UNIX command-line usage in the help menu, use a
sysconf setting instead.
Default is HIDEUSAGE=0, to include the entry for command-line usage.
Set HIDEUSAGE=1 to exclude that. Does not affect 'nethack --usage'
if player actually has access to the command-line.
Write up a description of how the command line works on UNIX and put
that in new file dat/usagehlp. Add support for
|nethack --usage | --help | -? | ?
to display it and exit.
Also add a menu entry for nethack's help command to show it during
play. That can be suppressed by uncommenting new '#define HIDE_USAGE'
in config.h since it won't be useful on servers that don't give
players access to command lines.
New genl_display_file() just writes to stdout. opt_usage(), which
calls it, might need some suid/sgid handling to make sure the output
is done as the player rather than as nethack.
doc/nethack.6 is already out of date again.
For Unix, set plname[] to the default value (player's username)
before running prscore() for 'nethack -s'. Avoids reference to
mysterious "hackplayer" if no entries are found.
1. remove all window interface bits from compiler.370, and have
the preceding include files set some variables to control
the behavior of compiler.370 when it comes to c++.
2. some more common Makefile lines into sys/unix/hints/include/multiw-3.370.
3. make it so you can pass cppregex=1 on the Make command line to build with
sys/share/cppregex.cpp instead of posixregex.c
4. fix sys/share/cppregex.cpp so that it will build with clang compiler
(required an additional header include). I don't know if it would have
worked with g++ without that change. The include can be placed into an #ifdef
block if there's an issue with the change on other compilers.
5. Anything that needs to compile using c++ (Qt, sys/share/cppregex.cpp) can
just ensure that CPLUSPLUS_NEEDED Makefile variable is set above the lines
in compiler.370 to ensure that things get set up for c++. It no longer
checks specifically for Qt. That is what sys/unix/hints/include/multiw-2.370
does now.
Add a 3rd multi-window include file that comes after compiler.370.
Relocate a small section of Makefile lines common to both macOS.370
and linux.370 to multiw-3.370.
Also relocate a section near the tail of compiler.370 that really
has nothing to do with compilers or compiler flags, but was
related to Qt which is one of the supported multi-window interfaces.
Now, the only usage of GCC_WARN is for the guard of PRINTF_F in wincurs.h.
This guard can be removed safely, as PRINTF_F is already used unconditionally in extern.h.
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() */
