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.
Be more consistent in the use of path separators.
Add a second version of Makefile variables that contain paths,
one with a trailing separator, and one without (prefixed with R_
for use in Makefile rules).
Also, in dat/luahelper,
Updates due to correspond to the Makefile.nmake changes.
Add Makefile variable AWK to use $(AWK) instead of hardcoded awk.
Use by:
make -f dat/luahelper [target]
Target examples:
Visual Studio nmake : make -f dat/luahelper devhelp-nmake >file.txt
msys2 GNUmakefile : make -f dat/luahelper devhelp-msys >file.txt
Xcode project.pbxproj: make -f dat/luahelper devhelp-xcode >file.txt
all: generate txt files for all the above
GitHub 1343 report by @ars3niy:
"When you are blind and see with telepathy a monster whom you then hear read
a scroll, said monster turns into an "I". While it reveals which one exactly
read the scroll, it is strange that you can no longer see it with telepathy
until it moves to another square."
Fixes#1343
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
Since EDITLEVEL is being incremented for the previous patch anyway,
add the "name_from" bit to the obj struct now, as groundwork for
the code change mentioned in a TODO comment in bones.c:
/* strip user-supplied names */
/* Statue and some corpse names are left intact,
presumably in case they came from score file.
[TODO: this ought to be done differently--names
which came from such a source or came from any
stoned or killed monster should be flagged in
some manner; then we could just check the flag
here and keep "real" names (dead pets, &c) while
discarding player notes attached to statues.] */
if (has_oname(otmp)
&& !(otmp->oartifact || otmp->otyp == STATUE
|| otmp->otyp == SPE_NOVEL
|| (otmp->otyp == CORPSE
&& otmp->corpsenm >= SPECIAL_PM))) {
free_oname(otmp);
}
Also, the bitfield per-byte groupings identified in the struct
weren't accurately reflected, so rearrange the Bitfields,
and correct the per-byte groupings.
This invalidates existing save files and bones.
GitHub issue reported by ars3niy:
https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/issues/1303
@ars3niy commented on Oct 27:
Stepping on a square with a dust or "graffiti" engraving while blind
produces no message because presumably you can't read them by swiping
the floor with your hands, however the engraving glyph still shows up on
the map afterwards. While this helps zen players, it looks like a bug.
@ville-v commented 3 days ago:
Searching while blind also reveals the engravings. Here is a save file
demonstrating the issue.
[...]
This adds an erevealed bit to engravings, to accompany the the eread
bit that is already there.
eread: refers to the text of the engraving
erevealed: refers to the engraving map symbol
Hopefully, this resolves issue 1303 without creating additional bugs.
This invalidates existing save files and bones.

The WANT_DEBUG=1 will cause the cross-compile to include line
number information in the NetHack executable, useful for
backtraces and gdb debugging sessions.
How a developer can use the optional deploy-to-dosbox target:
make CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 WANT_DEBUG=1 dosbox=/mnt/c/dosbox deploy-to-dosbox
where dosbox= points to the directory which will be mounted for
your drive in dosbox
THe deploy-to-dosbox recipe ensures that a target copy of gdb.exe
ends up alongside nethack.exe at the target, including:
- placing the source code that gdb requires on the target
in the nhsrc subfolder.
- an nhgdb.bat that supplies the right switches to gdb
for locating the NetHack sources.
ENHANCED_SYMBOLS is defined by default in config.h.
The msdos build tried to #undef ENHANCED_SYMBOLS
in tilemap.c, but doing it in there created a mismatch
between the data struct definition for glyph_map in wintype.h
and the initializers generated in tilemap.c
Move the msdos build catch for ENHANCED_SYMBOLS to
one single place in config1.h so that the code and data agree.
Ensure that the destination selection for intentional
teleport begins at the hero, rather than starting at
a place on the map stored from a prior travel command.
The location of the call to dobjsfree() in freedynamicdata()
appears to have been non-ideal.
After getting complaints from a leak-sensing tool after
#quit, the source of the leaks was investigated.
The call to dobjsfree() had been placed immediately following
a call to dmonsfree(), and it did clear out the go.objs_deleted
chain at that point.
Further investigation revealed that the following functions
later on in freedynamicdata() were then adding more deleted
objects to the go.objs_deleted chain:
free_current_level();
freeobjchn(gi.invent);
freeobjchn(gm.migrating_objs);
Move the call to dobjsfree() to a location after those listed
above.
For the wizard-mode command #migratemons at the
"How many random monsters to migrate to next level? [0]" prompt,
allow a negative number to cause it to use existing monsters
already on the level for the forced migration, up until the
absolute value of the number, instead of random new monsters
as it does for a positive number.
For example, specify -20 to force-migrate 20 existing monsters
already on the map.
I don't think this solves the recent light source reports,
but it changes a couple of things in an attempt to get more
information.
1. Having gy.youmonst.m_id field always be zero makes it tough
to distinguish it from uninitialized memory, or a random memory
value. This changes the m_id for the hero's gy.youmonst.m_id
to always hold the identifier 1, instead of 0.
2. write_ls was taking the stashed pointer in the light source,
and using it to immediately extract the m_id field and search
for that m_id. This changes the approach slightly, to actually
try and locate the stashed pointer itself in one of the monster
chains. Only if the monster pointer is located, do we dereference
it to obtain the m_id field.
3. For the interim, mark the saved ls with another set bit when
there has been a failure to locate the monst. At this time,
no code is acting on that bit, but it can be seen in a debug
session.
Hopefully, the next report will provide enough information to
understand the scenario a little better.
GNU make looks first for a file called GNUmakefile, ahead of
looking for Makefile and then makefile.
Renaming sys/windows/Makefile.mingw32 to sys/windows/GNUmakefile
allows:
o src/GNUmakefile (for use by GNU make) and src/Makefile (for use
Microsoft nmake) to both reside in the src folder during build.
o src/GNUmakefile will be used by GNU make, without having to
explicitly specify "-f GNUmakefile" on the GNU make command line.
o src/Makefile will be used by Microsoft nmake, without having to
explicitly specify "-f Makefile" on the Microsoft nmake command line.
For the gcc build, the movemement of sys/windows/GNUmakefile needs
to be copied to src/GNUmakefile as part of the build process (see
sys/windows/build-msys2.txt).
For the Microsoft Visual Studio command line build with nmake,
sys/windows/Makefile.nmake needs to be copied to src/Makefile as
part of the build process (see sys/windows/build-nmake.txt).
They are both copied to the src folder from their respective
repository source file names when the nhsetup.bat file is used.

by @guillaumebrunerie
The text by @guillaumebrunerie that accompanied the pull request was:
I have been working on a browser/mobile port of NetHack 3.7 using
cross-compilation to WebAssembly (it is very playable already, you can
try it at https://guillaumebrunerie.github.io/nethack/).
[screen shot]
The existing code for compiling to WebAssembly was a great help, although
it wasn't fully up to date and was missing a number of things in order
to be able to create a proper window port (for instance there was no way
to set 'iflags.window_inited' to true, 'print_glyph' was not working
properly as its signature changed, and various other things).
This pull request contains various fixes and additions that I found were
needed/helpful.
Changes:
* export more constants/pointers/globals.
* fix various types that are incorrect.
* disable compression of save files, as it uses fork which isn't supported
in WebAssembly.
* include 'genl_player_setup' when 'SHIM_GRAPHICS' is defined, in order to
make it possible to reuse the existing player selection code.
* move initialization of JavaScript global constants up, as I was running
in some issue when 'raw_print' was being called before initialization.
* change various compilation options for Emscripten, in particular it now
generates an ES6 module (easier to use in a modern Javascript project)
and exports more methods from Emscripten (for instance to be able to use
the virtual file system when saving).
* simplify the implementation of the main loop to avoid 'setTimeout' which
can be pretty slow in the browser when called many times.
* change the way pointer arguments are being sent to JavaScript in 'getArg'
(they were being sent as a pointer to the pointer itself on the stack,
which doesn't really make sense, now the pointer itself is sent).
There was an issue with Windows mingw build because the function
prototypes were not available. Place them into a distinct
header file nhregex.h and include it from extern.h, and
available for cppregex.cpp to include without the rest of
extern.h (which can give some problems with c++).
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.
In sys_early_init(), the values for sysopt.gdbpath and
sysopt.greppath were being assigned by calling dupstr()
without ensuring that a value previously assigned by
dupstr() were free()'d.
Also, the sysopt struct definition is changed to sysopt_s,
not because there's anything wrong with the original
struct sysopt sysopt;
but because I couldn't convince the debugger to use the
correct thing when trying to track down the leak.
This is additional groundwork related to
https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/issues/1320
This additional groundwork just puts some safeguards
in place to make it rather tough to end up with an
instant death from handling a cockatrice corpse in
your inventory without appropriate protection.
At this point, still no actual petrification will occur.
Wishing is powerful, so if you cannot safely handle a cockatrice
corpse, then have a wish for one result in the corpse materializing
on the floor rather than in your inventory.
Resolves#1320

K2 commented: "This might help - k21971/EvilHack@afed641"
A comment in there states:
"Fix: sections of wall being visible when they shouldn't yet.
This has been a long-standing bug for as long as I can remember, and qt
appears to have figured it out. What was happening: the player would all
of the sudden see a section of wall in an area that they hadn't explored
yet. It was discovered that this was only occurring if that section of
wall had any type of tree up against it."
The fix there attempts to leave trees out of the check_pos non-zero return,
so give that a shot.
I didn't attempt to reproduce the situation myself,
and therefore cannot confirm that this does resolve it.
Feedback on effectiveness or side-effects are welcomed. If someone is
able to confirm that this resolves the issue without creating new
issues, we can close it, otherwise this can be reverted.
