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.
When 'tips' are enabled, the farlook tip displays some text at the
start of getpos(). But it clobbered the initial prompt, leaving
the screen in an ambiguous state (seemingly a normal map display,
but it is actually waiting for player to move the cursor) after
removing the tip's popup window.
Reissue the prompt. farlook's short but misleading prompt of
"Pick an object" is changed to "Pick a monster, object or location".
I would normally include a comma before "or" but omitting it makes
the longer text seem slightly less cluttered.
The other tips are all one-line, delivered via pline(). Prefix
all of their messages with "Tip:" (which the farlook one already
uses) as a hint for using OPTIONS=!tips to shut them off.
Allow farlook/quicklook to step through all engravings--corridor
ones as well as room ones--with repeated '`' when picking location
with getpos(), similar to how repeated '^' goes through all traps
no matter what display character they use.
It isn't possible to look at corridor engravings by using their
default symbol '#'. It is possible by using 'a' for "anything of
interest" but that matches lots of other stuff.
This tries to add an NHDT tags line to sym.h. That was followed by
'git nhadd' which did stage it for commit, but date/branch/revision
tag expansion isn't working. I did something similar to defsym.h
about 5 weeks ago; that one worked and I don't recall having needed
to do anything special.
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.
