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 version of copy_bytes() in util/recover.c had fallen behind
the internal version in files.c which had received some
analyzer changes in 4bc5e26082 from
December 2022.
This synchronizes them, and addresses a couple of other static
analysis recommendations.
This may be useful for some build environments to avoid parallel make
issues, and artificially-concocted order dependencies, leaving the ordering
up to that specified in the Makefile.
The related makedefs options are now:
‐s Generate the bogusmon , engrave and epitaph files.
‐1 Generate the epitaph file.
‐2 Generate the engrave file.
‐3 Generate the bogusmon file.
Also resolves an existing issue encountered in doc/makedefs.6 where "and epitaphfiles"
was being produced in the result.

Restore its ability to reject a string longer than will fit within
size_t that was lost by moving away from strnlen(). Determine the
length inline rather than using strlen().
Move it from hacklib.c to alloc.c so that utility programs have easy
access, and remove the copy of it from dlb_main.c.
Fix a logic bug in str_start_is(). If a string was considered to
be too long, it exited the loop when n was 0 but also performed
post-decrement. So after the loop, n would be -1 and the 'if (n==0)'
test would fail. panic() would occur if the initial string matched
and happened to be LARGEST_INT-1 characters long.
Replace the single strnlen() use with strlen() so as not to require
something from posix.1 (2008) when we supposedly only require c99.
If someone manages to produce a string that's longer than will fit
within size_t, strlen()'s length count will wrap and Strlen_() might
not notice. Since size_t has to be at least 32 bits, that doesn't
seem like something to worry about.
If checking for size_t overflow is considered essential, we should
just switch to counting the length via an in-line loop that imposes
a similar limit to strnlen().
If MAKEDEFS_FILTER_NONASCII is defined (which config.h now does by
default), it will check data.base, rumors.*, and {various}.txt for
characters outside the range of ' ' through '~'. If it finds any, it
will warn about them and change them to '#'.
Tab handling is incomplete; the files that use tabs for indentation
will allow tabs anywhere, even though that's not wanted. That could
be fixed but doesn't seem particularly urgent. This is more about
spotting and repairing the special 3-char punctuation characters that
crept into data.base fairly recently.
This was a part of an earlier change that was reverted.
Get all the obsolete parts of makedefs arranged so that
they can be disabled simply by not defining
OLD_MAKEDEFS_OPTIONS.
Right now OLD_MAKEDEFS_OPTIONS is defined.
Pull request from NullCGT: add '/' to look up selected item in its
context-sensitive inventory action menu.
The whatis_item branch added an extraneous file: util/tileset.bmp;
this commit removes it.
Closes#1106
Adds an option to the inventory item menu which allows a user to
look up an item in the database. This uses the existing whatis
command.
A minor secondary change is switching the failed database lookup
message to second person. The use of a first person pronoun here
has always been very strange, and switching to second person centers
the player in the action.
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).
Update dlb_main to use the revised vms_basename() for #if VMS in
case it issues a usage message.
Change recover to use similar setup, but the vms-specific bit is
commented out because I'm not sure whether the necessary routine
is being linked with it.
Move pieces of the Makefile hints sound-related changes that
are not macOS-specific from sys/unix/hints/macOS.370 to some new
include files. The WANT_MACSOUND block stays in
sys/unix/hints/macOS.370 because it is system-specific.
Before this change, the various Makefiles were assembled via
hints files macOS.370 or linux.370. Both were using included
portions from the following files in the sys/unix/hints/include
directory, in this sequence:
-INCLUDE multiw-1.370
-INCLUDE multiw-2.370
-INCLUDE compiler.370
-INCLUDE multiw-3.370
-INCLUDE cross-pre.370
-INCLUDE gbdates-pre.370
-INCLUDE gbdates-post.370
-INCLUDE cross-post.370
After this change, the various Makefiles will still be assembled
via hints files macOS.370 or linux.370. They will continue to use
included portions from the following files in the
sys/unix/hints/include directory, but with three additional
include files related to sound and soundlibs. This is the new
sequence:
-INCLUDE multiw-1.370
-INCLUDE multiw-2.370
-INCLUDE compiler.370
-INCLUDE multiw-3.370
+ -INCLUDE multisnd1-pre.370
-INCLUDE cross-pre.370
-INCLUDE gbdates-pre.370
+ -INCLUDE multisnd2-pre.370
-INCLUDE gbdates-post.370
+ -INCLUDE multisnd-post.370
-INCLUDE cross-post.370
The include mechanism continues to allow common portions that can
be shared between macOS and Linux to be maintained in a single
place only, with minimal duplication. Now, that has been extended
to include Makefile lines related to sounds and soundlib.
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.
Also includes support by paxed for polearm targeting using the
frame color.
Also renames USE_TILES to TILES_IN_GLYPHMAP which is a more
accurate description.
Not all window interfaces have full support for the color framing
of the background square yet.
MS-DOS needs further work (to bring it to both VESA and VGA, with
and without tiles.
Windows GUI is missing support.
X11 and Qt have been started, but may require further refinement.
The unlink call wasn't operating the same on a makedefs built
on mingw, and dat/mdXXXX files were being left behind post-build.
Provide an alternative way of doing the temporary files if
MD_USE_TMPFILE_S is defined during the compile of makedefs.c
When dist2() got changed to use coordxy parameters, a macro that uses
it in its definition was overlooked and it had (int) casts in it.
That caused a warning about possible data loss when the int
then got converted to coordxy for the dist2() call.
Give online2() coordxy parameters instead of int, like its bretheren.
Avoid a couple of implicit conversion warnings where ints were being assigned
to smaller uchar or ints being assigned to smaller short.
A couple of signed vs unsigned warnings on some rumor processing.
Avoid some signed vs unsigned warnings in mdlib/makedefs where a signed int
param eventually got used in an external call that took size_t.
Eliminate all of it by just having the outer NetHack routine also take
a size_t.
Lastly, insert some default C99 alternative time-related code
in mdlib/makedefs since asctime() and ctime() are being flagged as
deprecated in the upcoming C23 standard and will now start to trigger
warnings for anyone using a C23-compliant compiler.
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() */
