This is the third of a series of savefile-related changes.
This adds early-days experimental support for a completely optional
'sfctool' utility (savefile conversion tool), to be able to export
a savefile's contents into a more portable format. There are likely
to be bugs at this stage. In this initial first-attempt, the export
format is a very simple ascii output.
NetHack can be built entirely, without also building this tool.
NetHack has no dependencies on the tool.
Attempts were made to minimize duplication of existing NetHack code.
To achieve that, unfortunately, #ifdef SFCTOOL and #ifndef SFCTOOL
had to be sprinkled around through some of the existing NetHack
source code, so that it could be re-used for building the utility.
The process for building the sfctool typically recompiles the source
files with #define SFCTOOL and a distinct object file with SF- is
produced.
sfctool notes:
Universal ctags is used and required to produce the sfctool utility.
Some targets were added to the Unix and Windows Makefiles to
facilitate the build process.
make sfctool
That should build a copy in util.
Note: At present, the Unix Makefiles do not copy sfctool over to the
NetHack playground during 'make install' or 'make update'.
Until that gets resolved by someone, The tool will
have to be manually copied there by the builder/admin if
desired.
cp util/sfctool ~/nh/install/games/lib/nethackdir/sfctool
Also, a separate Visual Studio sfctool.sln solution was written and
placed in sys/windows/vs. That has has only very limited testing.
Usage:
i) To convert an existing savefile to an exportascii format
that co-resides with the savefile:
sfctool -c savefile
That *must* be executed on the same platform / architecture /
data model that produced the save file in the first place.
ii) To unconvert an existing exportascii format export file to a
historical format savefile that can then be used by NetHack:
sfctool -u savefile
That must be executed on the same target platform / architecture /
data model that was used to build the NetHack that will
utilize the save file that results.
A Windows example:
sfctool -c Fred.NetHack-saved-game
That should result in creation of Fred.NetHack-saved-game.exportascii
from existing savefile:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\NetHack\3.7\Fred.NetHack-saved-game
A Unix example:
sfctool -c 1000wizard
That should result in creation of 1000wizard.exportascii.gz
from existing savefile in the playground save directory:
1000wizard.gz
Current Mechanics:
1. Makefile recipe, or script uses universal ctags to produce
util/sf.tags.
2. util/sftags is built and executed to read util/sf.tags and
generate: include/sfproto.h and src/sfdata.c.
3. util/sfctool is built from the following:
generated file compiled with -DSFCTOOL:
src/sfdata.c -> sfdata.o
existing files compiled with -DSFCTOOL:
util/sfctool.c -> sfctool.o
util/sfexpasc.c -> sfexpasc.o
src/alloc.c -> sf-alloc.o
src/monst.c -> sf-monst.o
src/objects.c -> sf-objects.o
src/sfbase.c -> sfbase.o
src/sfstruct.c -> sfstruct.o
src/nhlua.c -> sf-nhlua.o
util/panic.c -> panic.o
src/date.c -> sf-date.o
src/decl.c -> sf-decl.o
src/artifact.c -> sf-artifact.o
src/dungeon.c -> sf-dungeon.o
src/end.c -> sf-end.o
src/engrave.c -> sf-engrave.o
src/cfgfiles.c -> sf-cfgfiles.o
src/files.c -> sf-files.o
src/light.c -> sf-light.o
src/mdlib.c -> sf-mdlib.o
src/mkmaze.c -> sf-mkmaze.o
src/mkroom.c -> sf-mkroom.o
src/o_init.c -> sf-o_init.o
src/region.c -> sf-region.o
src/restore.c -> sf-restore.o
src/rumors.c -> sf-rumors.o
src/sys.c -> sf-sys.o
src/timeout.c -> sf-timeout.o
src/track.c -> sf-track.o
src/version.c -> sf-version.o
src/worm.c -> sf-worm.o
src/strutil.c -> strutil.o
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.
This is the first of several savefile-related changes to
follow later. This one is groundwork for those later changes.
Remove internal compression schemes (RLECOMP and ZEROCOMP)
and discard the savefile_info struct that was primarily used to
convey which internal compression schemes had been in use.
Relocate some struct definitions into appropriate header files
for use by code to come in later changes.
Remove the two struct size-related fields from version_info and
from the nmakedefs_s. Instead, include a series of bytes near the
beginning of the savefile, representing the size of each
struct or base data type that impacts the historical savefile
content. Those are referred to as the "critical bytes".
(Related note: the "you" struct required two bytes, low and high,
due to its size).
Compare those critical bytes in a savefile against the NetHack
build that is reading the savefile. This allows mismatch detection
early in the savefile-reading process, and a clean exit, rather than
proceeding to read nonsensical values from the file. Include some
feedback on what the first mismatch was when encountering
one.
For arrays stored in the savefile, use loop-logic in the core
to write/read the array elements one at a time, rather than in
a single blob. This will be required for changes to follow later.
(impacts artiexist[], artidisco[], svd.dungeons[], svl.level_info[],
svl.level.locations[][], msrooms[] field of mapseen, svb.bases[],
svb.disco[] objects[], svm.mvitals[], svs.spl_book[], svd.doors[],
go.oracle_loc[], utrack[], wgrowtime[])
This also adds data model to the long version information.
This invalidates existing save and bones files due to the changes in
the information at the start of the file.
We've had reports of a couple of issues building against musl libc.
Issues reported:
- build procedures utilize cat for Guidebook-creation, and cat
is deprecated in distros that use musl libc.
- some of the CRASHREPORT code is using library functions that
are not available in the musl libc environment. The reported
functions were backtrace() and backtrace_symbols(), which use
header file /usr/include/execinfo.h.
So we'll try to accommodate this. Since we don't have a means of
autodetecting the musl libc situation during the build (as of yet), the
builder will have to specify 'make musl=1' on the make command line.
Specifying 'musl=1' on the make command line will:
1. ensure that NOCRASHREPORT gets defined in the C preprocessor.
2. set COLCMD to be '../util/stripbs' instead of 'col -bx'.
Closes#1393
Define a macro NH_C to provide a shorter & simpler way to test for
which C standard the build is being carried out under (c99 or c23).
NH_C > 202300L Being compiled under C23 or greater
NH_C > 199900L Being compiled under C99 or greater
NH_C > 198900L Being compiled under C89 or greater,
or C std could not be determined.
While NetHack only requires c99, we've been taking advantage
of some c23 features (attributes), if they are available,
to allow the use of ATTRNORETURN/NORETURN and FALLTHROUGH on
compilers other than gcc.
Also add some comment documentation to tradstdc.h about NetHack's
use of c99.
The sys/unix/Makefile.top change overcomes a warning in the
Makefile-generated nhlua.h. That warning arises under some compilers
that rely on attribute [[noreturn]] ahead of a declaration
(NetHack macro ATTRNORETURN), rather than the trailing gcc
__attribute((noreturn)) (NetHack macro NORETURN). The sed command
is modified to include ATTRNORETURN at the start of the declaration
in addition to the NORETURN at the end of the declaration, in the
generated file. That's the same combination that's used for the
declaration of other functions that don't return.
Even though most of these are cast to void (but not all), the
mips cross-compiler seems determined to warn about them anyway.
Suppress that particular warning altogether to quiet the build.
That is not the ideal approach, but if the normal way of whitelisting
individual cases isn't working, I'm not sure of another course of
action.
A couple of option processing functions, one of which was called in file.c, were
recently added to sys/unix/unixmain.c, but the wasm build does not include unixmain.c,
it uses sys/libnh/libnhmain.c.
Transcribe the functions into sys/libnh/libnhmain.c.
Also, do not #include "wintty.h" for NOTTYGRAPHICS builds.
