A recent fault on mingw32 revealed that faulty
code which passes a bad or out-of-range date
value could have game-fatal consequences.
Add some protection.
currently it's locked behind _MSC_VER, but anything that runs on Win32
should be able to use those functions as long as it has something that
can pass as a debug window.
also, add a non-wildcard-accepting version of showdebug for the dumpit()
functions in dungeon.c and questpgr.c; this makes DEBUGFILES=* workable
without being excruciatingly painful
...if the map is filled with monsters, and for some reason
the drowning just won't kill you.
Infinite looping cannot currently happen, because no-one who
can drown can keep surviving the drowning once their amulet
of life saving is used up.
Any monster with rusting or corrosion attack can eat through
the bars. This includes rust monsters, grey oozes, and black puddings.
Original patch by Malcolm Ryan
The intent is to look for platform-specific facilities for regex
matching, to provide portable MENUCOLORS configuration files.
This is a prototype implementation being committed to see if Windows can
use the POSIX regex implementation provided with the C++11 standard
library. If this works, I will write a harness for POSIX regexes and for
pmatch(), and those can be linked in by platforms as appropriate.
pmatch() should be used only as a very last resort, because it breaks
compatibility between platforms.
Add pmatchi() to perform case-insensitive wildcard matching, and
pmatchz() which is also case-insensitive and ignores spaces, dashes,
and underscores like the type of matching done during wish parsing.
At the moment, neither is being used, although DEBUGFILES handling
uses pmatch and needs to be taught to distinguish between case-
sensitive and case-insensitive filenames so will eventually use
pmatchi when appropriate.
From a bug report two years ago, mithril armor should have color
HI_SILVER rather than HI_METAL. Tolkien describes mithril as "like
silver which never tarnishes". (The bug report had a more precise
quote, and a github URL for a patch which I've ignored.) The Amulet
of Yendor has material set to MITHRIL but I haven't changed its color.
All amulets are HI_METAL, so if any modification is needed for it,
change the material rather than the color.
Mithril-coats are displayed as cyan both before and after this patch,
so it's hard to tell whether any change actually happened.
