This is the second of a series of changes related to save/restore.
No EDITLEVEL bump has been included, because although the code
is changed extensively by this, the content of the savefiles have
not been changed.
Push the use of the structlevel bwrite() and mread() function use
out of the core and into sfstruct.c. This is groundwork for upcoming
changes.
In the core, replace the bwrite() and mread() calls with the
use of type-specific savefile output (Sfo) and savefile
input (Sfi) macros. The macros are defined in a new header file
savefile.h, which also contains the prototypes for the sfo_* and
sfi_* functions that the macros ultimately expand to. The functions
themselves are in src/sfbase.c.
On C99, each Sfo or Sfi macro expansion refers directly to the
corresponding type-specific sfo_* or sfi_* function.
If C23 or later is is use, the majority (all but 3 types) of the
macros refer to a single _Generic output routine sfo(nhfp, dt, tag),
and a single _Generic input routine sfi(nhfp, dt, tag), which handles
the dispatch of the type-specific underlying functions. This was
somewhat experimental, but turned out to be practical because the
compiler would gripe if the type for a variable was not included in
the _Generic when passed as an argument, so it could be fixed.
This alters the savefile verication process by having a common set
return values for the related functions such as uptodate(),
check_version(), etc. The new return values return more information
about savefile incompatibilities, beyond failure/sucess. The
additional information will be useful for an upcoming addition.
The expanded return values are:
SF_UPTODATE (0) everything matched and looks good
SF_OUTDATED (1) savefile is outdated
SF_CRITICAL_BYTE_COUNT_MISMATCH (2) critical size count mismatch
SF_DM_IL32LLP64_ON_ILP32LL64 (3) Windows x64 savefile on x86
SF_DM_I32LP64_ON_ILP32LL64 (4) Unix 64 savefile on x86
SF_DM_ILP32LL64_ON_I32LP64 (5) x86 savefile on Unix 64
SF_DM_ILP32LL64_ON_IL32LLP64 (6) x86 savefile on Windows x64
SF_DM_I32LP64_ON_IL32LLP64 (7) Unix 64 savefile on Windows x64
SF_DM_IL32LLP64_ON_I32LP64 (8) Windows x64 savefile on Unix 64
SF_DM_MISMATCH (9) some other mismatch
The callers in the core have been adjusted to deal with the expanded
return values.
Other miscellaneous inclusions:
- go.oracle_loc -> svo.oracle_loc.
- add a bit (1UL << 30) to called SFCTOOL_BIT as groundwork
for changes to follow.
Add a note about NO_TERMS to include/wintty.h for clarity.
Rename tty_startup and tty_shutdown to term_startup() and
term_shutdown(). They are found in termcap.c for !NO_TERMS
like most of the other term_ routines, as well as having
versions for several of the NO_TERMS platforms. They aren't
part of the tty_interface called from the core. The tty
implementation does call and rely on them.
Remove some conditional #ifdef's around term_shutdown()
(formerly tty_shutdown()) and just ensure that all the
tty platforms have an implementation that they can link
with, even if it is just a stub presently.
Put the protype for nethack_exit in extern.h to reduce
maintenance to a single spot, and remove it from other
locations. A warning in the msdos cross-compile led to
this change.
This helps avoid a potential chicken-and-egg scenario
with the system configuration file (sysconf).
If sysconf wasn't accessible at the expected location, it
caused an immediate exit, without relaying any helpful
information. That happened even when using:
'nethack --showpaths'
That's particularly unhelpful, because the --showpaths
output might have been useful towards understanding where
NetHack was looking for such things.
That left you without an easy recourse to identify where
the game is looking for the sysconf file. That might be
especially troublesome if you didn't build the game
yourself.
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.
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.
Details:
gb.bases -> svb.bases
gb.bbubbles -> svb.bbubbles
gb.branches -> svb.branches
gc.context -> svc.context
gd.disco -> svd.disco
gd.dndest -> svd.dndest
gd.doors -> svd.doors
gd.doors_alloc -> svd.doors_alloc
gd.dungeon_topology -> svd.dungeon_topology
gd.dungeons -> svd.dungeons
ge.exclusion_zones -> sve.exclusion_zones
gh.hackpid -> svh.hackpid
gi.inv_pos -> svi.inv_pos
gk.killer -> svk.killer
gl.lastseentyp -> svl.lastseentyp
gl.level -> svl.level
gl.level_info -> svl.level_info
gm.mapseenchn -> svm.mapseenchn
gm.moves -> svm.moves
gm.mvitals -> svm.mvitals
gn.n_dgns -> svn.n_dgns
gn.n_regions -> svn.n_regions
gn.nroom -> svn.nroom
go.oracle_cnt -> svo.oracle_cnt
gp.pl_character -> svp.pl_character
gp.pl_fruit -> svp.pl_fruit
gp.plname -> svp.plname

gu.updest -> svu.updest
gx.xmax -> svx.xmax
gx.xmin -> svx.xmin
gy.ymax -> svy.ymax
gy.ymin -> svy.ymin
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
early_init() calls decl_globals_init() which zeros out
a number structures:
ZERO(flags);
ZERO(iflags);
ZERO(a11y);
ZERO(disp);
ZERO(u);
ZERO(ubirthday);
ZERO(urealtime);
Setting values in any of those during startup prior to
the early_init() call was futile, and the values would
get overwritten.
Such was the case with the setting of iflags.colorcount
during Windows startup, so do it after early_init() has
been called.

update bitrot in winchain
winchain for Windows
add missing synch_wait for NetHackW --showpaths
add PANICTRACE (and CRASHREPORT) in mdlib.c:build_opts
missing:
packaging (Windows needs the pdb file)
no testing with MSVC command line build
port status:
linux: working, but glibc's backtrace doesn't show static functions
Windows VS: working. pdb file is large - looking into options
MacOS: working

VMS: not supported
MSVC: planned, but not attempted
MSYS2: working, but libbacktrace not showing symbols (yet?)
The sysconf EXPLORERS list restricting access to explore mode was being
evaluated and used when a player used the #exploremode command in-game,
or when specifying -X or OPTIONS=playmode:explore on the command line
when resuming a normal game, but not when starting an entirely new game.
When SYSCF is avilable, check for authorization early, similar to debug
mode authorization, to restrict access to explore mode to EXPLORERS
under (hopefully) all circumstances.
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.
removed extra initializer
fmod.c int to int32_t
fmod support now functional
Added snd_lib check in windmain
fmod_ambience func for future implementation
updated some funcs
(CAN'T BUILD) -- static'd vars
When calling panic() or impossible(), create the option
of opening a browser window with most of the fields
already populated. Code for MacOS and linux is included;
other ports are affected by argument change to early_init
which are done but not tested.
To enable, define CRASHREPORT in config.h and set
CRASHREPORTURL in sysconf to (for the moment at least)
http[s]://www.nethack.org/common/contactcr.html
Adds --grep-defined option to makedefs for Makefiles.
Adds "bid" (binary identifier), an MD4 of the main nethack
binary. This is ONLY for helping (in the future) contact.html
to set the "NetHack from" field automatically for our own
binaries. This can be faked, but the user can lie so nothing
lost. There's nothing magic about MD4; other ports can use
anything that prodcues a long apparently random string we can
match against.
- new option --bidshow for us to get the MD4 of a
released binary so I can add it to the website.
Only available in wizard mode and not in nethack.6.
- typo macos -> macosx in hints file
No support for packaging builds as I'm not sure what that
would look like.
Adds a javascript helper for MacOS.
Adds a lua helper for linux (and builds and installs
nhlua).

- Move secondary preprocessor defines down further in config.h
so that they can be overridden via [platform]conf.h which is
included from global.h, specifically:
LIVELOGFILE when LIVELOG is defined
DUMPLOG_FILE when DUMPLOG is defined
- Minimize platform-specific, or compiler-specific code in hack.h and decl.h.
- reorganize src/decl.c to align with include/decl.h.
- a new header file cstd.h added, containing calls to C99
standard header files.
- hack.h, decl.h, and decl.c have been cleaned up and had code
moved so that things line up as follows:
hack.h defines values that are available to all
NetHack source files, contains enums for use in all
NetHack source files, and contains a number of
struct definitions for use in all NetHack source files.
It does not contain variable declarations or variable
definitions.
decl.h contains the extern declarations for variables that
are defined in decl.c. These variables are global and
available to all NetHack source files. The location of
the variables within decl.h was random, so give it some
order for now.
decl.c contains the definition of the variables declared in
decl.h, and initializes them where appropriate. The
variable definitions are laid out in much the
same order as their declarations in decl.h.
- wintty.h: There were some varying terminal-related prototypes in
system.h, and that was the only thing left that demanded that
system.h be included. Those have been replaced by an #include
<term.h> in include/wintty.h to get the more current (and hopefully
more correct) prototypes, rather than hardcoding them in NetHack
sources.
For edge-case platform compatiblity, there is no #include <term.h>
if the build defines NO_TERMCAP_HEADERS. In that case one set of
hardcoded prototypes is still used in include/wintty.h.
The added #include "term.h" is also bypassed for NO_TERMS builds (builds
that don't link to terminfo/termcap at all, but still present a tty
interface using platform or window-port specific functions to fulfill
the same role as that of terminfo/termcap).
- some scattered, unnecessary #include "integer.h" were removed from
various files, since that's always included in current NetHack-3.7
sources, either directly from config.h or indirectly from #include
"hack.h".
- system.h references removed.
- new cstd.h added; the #include "system.h" references in Makefiles
and project files (Xcode, visual studio), were replaced
with #include "cstd.h" references. A "make depends" is probably
warranted.
Also:
- Use of <term.h>, which defines clear_screen() as a macro, conflicts
with an actual function with that name in win/tty/termcap.c. The most
straight-forward course of action was to rename the NetHack function,
and change the references to it, from clear_screen() to
term_clear_screen(), so that was done.
It looks like the Windows API call for PlaySound using SND_RESOURCE, from a
mingw32 built program, cannot find the resources that are
embeded into the .exe by the mingw32 resource compiler. That works fine
from visual studio.
For now, fall back to not using the SND_RESOURCE flag, use an ordinary
wav file name in the filesystem. Makefile.mingw32 has been modified
to copy the wav files to the binary directory along with the exe.
This probably won't be the final approach, but it will get things
working for now.
rename display_gamewindows() to init_sound_and_display_gamewindows()
(I know that's getting pretty long-named).
move activate_chosen_soundlib() into init_sound_and_display_gamewindows()
from moveloop_preamble().
Also included was a missing break in a switch related to sounds.
Groundwork for a more versatile interface for using
sound libraries. A lot of sound libraries work across
multiple platforms.
The current NetHack sound stuff is quite limited.
Binaries can have a variety of window ports linked into
them, and it makes sense to have something similar for
sound.
This tries to set things up in a more soundlib-centric way,
rather than inserting things in a platform-centric way.
It establishes a new top-level directory sound (akin to win
for the window interface routines, or "window-port") where
sound-related additions and sndprocs and support files can be
added and used across platforms.
The default interface is nosound and the 'nosound' interface
is in src/sounds.c
The interface for 'windsound', which contains the same minimal
USER_SOUNDS support using built-in routines that has been in the
windows port for a long time is added to
sound/windsound/windsound.c.
For now, the sound interface support for 'qtsound' has been added
to the existing Qt files win/Qt/qt_bind.h and win/Qt/qt_bind.cpp,
and a note has been placed in sound/qtsound/README.md to avoid
confusion.
New header file added: include/sndprocs.h.
A number of C compiler suites have a math.h library that includes a yn()
function name that conflicts with NetHack's yn() macro:
"The y0(), y1(), and yn() functions are Bessel functions of the second kind,
for orders 0, 1, and n, respectively. The argument x must be positive. The
argument n should be greater than or equal to zero. If n is less than zero,
there will be a negative exponent in the result."
At one point, isaac64.h included math.h, although that has since been removed.
Some libraries used in NetHack (Qt for one) do include math.h and that required
build work-arounds to avoid the conflict.
Rename the NetHack macro from yn() to y_n() and avoid the math.h conflict
altogether, eliminating the need for that particular work-around.
A recent commit to alloc.c by Keni drew attention to the fact that
there are extern prototypes scattered around in various .c files.
Those can make use of ATTRNORETURN (non-gcc compilers and C23) the
same way the prototypes in extern.h can, and they were overlooked
when ATTRNORETURN was first added.
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)
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() */
Change the inner workings of the experimental TTY_PERM_INVENT.
Switch to delivering the content to tty for the experimental perm_invent
via the existing window port interface (start_menu(), add_menu(), end_menu).
This also adds a new window port interface call ctrl_nhwindow() for
delivering information to the window port, and/or obtaining specific
information from the window port. The information and requests can
be extended as required. To be documented later once the changes settle
down.
Due to the intrusive nature of these changes and the possibility of
some bugs in the new code, I'm going to leave TTY_PERM_INVENT commented
out in the repository for a day or two. Anyone wishing to test it out
can do so by uncommenting TTY_PERM_INVENT in config.h.
Add a non-string identifier to window_procs for use in runtime
identification of the current window port being used.
Use a macro WPID to add the identification at the top of the
various existing window_procs declarations. It expands to the
existing text string, as well as the newly added field wp_id
with a wp_ identifier.
For example, WPID(tty) expands to: "tty", wp_tty
The generated wp_tty must be present in the wp_ids enum at
the top of include/winprocs.h.
The WINDOWPORT(x) macro has been updated to expand to a simple
value comparison (port.wp_id == wp_x), instead of a
string comparison.

The Copyright notice is placed by tty internal routines writing onto
the BASE_WINDOW fairly early in the startup sequence.
The prompt to "Destroy old game? [yn] (n)" is using the in-game
routine to write to the message window at the top of the screen and
prompt there, just like in-game prompts and messages.
If the player answered 'y' to that, the prompt for
"Shall I pick character's race, role, gender and alignment..."
appeared immediately after. That one, however, is written using
the BASE_WINDOW routines in tty, like the copyright notice.
This change does the following:
It moves the copyright lines down a little bit leaving room for the
"Destroy.." prompts.
It places the "Shall I pick characters's..." prompt further down the
screen by default, leaving some room for about 3 raw_print startup
messages after the copyright notice, just in case there are any.
The "Shall I pick character's..." prompt will still appear immediately
if there is a prompt such as "Destroy old game?..."
There were a couple of other issues around raw_print startup messages
too. Those are delivered using a raw_print mechanism to ensure they
are written even if the window-port is not fully operational. However,
they were only on the screen for the blink of an eye. This call
sequence in restore.c made them disappear almost immediately:
docrt() -> cls()
Put in a mechanism to detect the presence of raw_print messages
from the early startup, and if there were some, wait for a
keypress before obliterating the unread notifications.
