initoptions(), including initoptions_finish(), was running to
completion with the default window system before windowtype from the
command was parsed and activated. When the default window system
is tty without MS-DOS the map type gets set to ascii; command line
--windowtype:X11 doesn't switch it back to the X11 default of tiled.
So,
| NETHACKOPTIONS=windowtype:X11 nethack
ran nethack in tiles mode but
| nethack --windowtype:X11
ran it in text mode (assuming .nethackrc left tiles vs text with the
default setting).
I think this fix is quite iffy but it seems to work as intended....
It reclassifies '--windowtype' as an "early option" in unixmain.c,
and the options.c code ultimately processes it twice.
Have the config error reporting routine check whether the message
it's delivering already has end-of-sentence punctuation instead of
adding that unconditionally.
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.
Change the regex_error_desc() interface. Have the caller pass in
a pointer to a buffer of at least BUFSZ characters and have
regex_error_desc() populate that. No need for static buffers or
extra dynamic alloction.
Also, change it to never return Null. None of its callers were
checking for that and could have passed Null to config_error_add()
or raw_print(). printf("%s", NULL) produces "null" on OSX but other
systems would probably crash if a Null result ever actually occurred.
The error explanation returned by cppregex included a trailing period.
config_error_add() adds one, so the message ended up with two. Have
regex_error_desc() check for final period and strip it off if found.
(My test case used a menucolor pattern of "[" which triggers an error
about mismatched brackets.)
Reformat cppregex.cpp; treat 'extern "C" {' as if it isn't introducing
a nested block. Fix the '#include <hack.h>' that 'make depend' was
ignoring.
Address sanitizer caught a use after free.
cppregex.cpp regex_error_desc() was not returning a pointer
to a static buffer, yet the posixregex was. Follow suit.
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.
(user-side decisions really, but as it stands right now
user-side decisions/options are made and processed by the core)
add a parameter to add_menu so color can be passed
Add a rudimentary experimental always-up inventory display
capability to tty when the perm_invent option is in effect.
It requires an additional 28 rows available on the terminal
underneath the bottom status line.
It hasn't been optimized for performance as of yet.
Allow the hints file to apply a correct timestamp to
the Guidebooks prior to use.
Detect the NH_DATESUB in the Guidebook.mn or Guidebook.tex
files and replace the datestamping line that follows.
If git is available, it determines the hash of the last commit
applied to doc/Guidebook.mn, and then determines the date of
that commit. The interim Guidebook.dated.mn (or
Guidebook.dated.tex) gets the datestamp applied.
If git isn't available or doesn't correctly provide the hash
for doc/Guidebook.mn, it should just continue to use whatever
hard-coded date in the Guidebook.mn source file (it uses it
instead of the interim file).
On a machine with both homebrew and macports, the presence of
macports was causing the homebrew Qt settings to be overwritten
right after they were set. Check to see if QTDIR is already
defined before proceeding with QT macports.
if macports is detected:
- check for ncurses from macports
- adjust the library search path to include /opt/local/lib
- adjust the C compiler include search path to include /opt/local/include
via -I/opt/local/include.
- if libncursesw* is in /opt/local/lib, link with it.
Also, USEMACPORTS=1 will use macports if you have both homebrew and macports.
It isn't required, but the ordering in the Makefile will use homebrew first
otherwise.
These warning are in 3rd party library builds (one
in Lua relating to padding due to alignment), and
a few in pdcurses. We won't be addressing the code
in those.

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.
