The previous code made incorrect assumptions about Qt6's file hierarchy. Reuse automatic configuration (with pkg-config) for Qt5, and replace '5' by '6'.
Also fix a typo in multiw-2.370.
If using hints file sys/unix/hints/linux.370 or sys/unix/hints/macOS.370
allow the majority of the boilerplate compile switches to reside in a
compiler response file, instead of on the command line.
Include one of the following on your make command line:
make response=1
or
make resp=1
It can be combined with other make command line options. See
sys/unix/README-hints for further information about those.
The response files that it uses are:
CC (clang or gcc) src/nethack_cc.rsp
CXx (clang++ or g++) src/nethack_cxx.rsp
Note: I think the reduced clutter should actually become the default,
and the override should be noresponse=1 to NOT use it, but I'm
not sure how others feel, so for now, it requires
make resp=1
Feedback on whether that should become the default or not
is welcome.
Tested on Linux with gcc-15 and on Linux with clang-20.
I haven't had a chance to test it on macOS yet.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed ncurses 6.5 requires the one in

Otherwise, several needed function prototypes are not there.

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

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
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.
Add a note about NO_TERMS to include/wintty.h for clarity.
Rename tty_startup and tty_shutdown to term_startup() and
term_shutdown(). They are found in termcap.c for !NO_TERMS
like most of the other term_ routines, as well as having
versions for several of the NO_TERMS platforms. They aren't
part of the tty_interface called from the core. The tty
implementation does call and rely on them.
Remove some conditional #ifdef's around term_shutdown()
(formerly tty_shutdown()) and just ensure that all the
tty platforms have an implementation that they can link
with, even if it is just a stub presently.
Put the protype for nethack_exit in extern.h to reduce
maintenance to a single spot, and remove it from other
locations. A warning in the msdos cross-compile led to
this change.
Instead of flat, have bin, lib and include folders for
the native DOS pieces.
If you have been cross-compiling for MSDOS, you will
need to carry out the following to bring things up-to-date:
sys/msdos/fetch-cross-compiler.sh
make CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 WANT_DEBUG=1 package
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
This build command will include line number info, gdb.exe or nhgdb.bat in the package:
make CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 WANT_DEBUG=1 package
This build command will not include line number info, gdb.exe or nhgdb.bat in the package:
make CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 package
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.
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.
...some of them, at any rate. We shut off (1) warnings provoked by Matt
Bishop's "mn" macro package, and (2) warnings spuriously emitted by
groff 1.23 and previous when "-wall" (or "-ww") is specified.
Also update explanatory comments.
