Squeaky boards (and other noisy things) woke up monsters that were
meditating. Unfortunately this also woke up such meditating monsters
as the Wiz, or the quest nemesis.
Prevent unique monsters with waiting strategy being woken up by the noise.
Manually reformat objects.c so that it's a bit easier to work with,
prior to possibly modifying it. I wrote objects[] and obj_descr[].*
to files before and after and they were byte-for-byte identical, so
the revised objects.c hasn't introduced any changes. It was done
from scratch rather than reverting to the pre-clang-format edition.
There was nothing particularly wrong with the uniform spacing
produced by the automated reformat, but organizing things in columns
and/or controlling where the line splits occur make changes and
comparisons easier.
artilist.h and monst.c should probably be redone too, but I don't
think I going to get around to tackling them.
Previous boulder symbol fix unearthed another problem:
When no boulder symbol was defined in config file, the default
iflags.bouldersym null value was used as a symbol.
Boulder symbol could not be changed in config file with
"SYMBOLS=S_boulder:0" because the glyph code was checking
iflags.bouldersym; that is only set if boulder symbol
is changed with the deprecated "OPTIONS=boulder:0" way.
rather than always use a menu. Only affects menustyle:traditional and
can be overridden at the time by using the 'm' prefix before the #tip
command.
When using the menu, add an explicit pick-from-inventory choice. The
behavior there stays the same: ask about inventory if no floor container
is chosen.
I started out cleaning up a bit of lint in the recent run-time options
handling and discovered that pmatchregex wasn't finished. Finish it and
also deal with the version lint. Argument declarations for function
definitions in pmatchregex.c have been switched to K&R style. (The ones
in posixregex.c have been left in ANSI style.)
There wasn't any build rule for pmatchregex.o; now there is (for Unix).
posixregex.o is still the default.
There isn't any build rule for cppregex.o (again, for Unix); the change
to cppregex.cpp is untested.

Add a couple more tribute easter eggs.
- can lead to a remark by Death if you happen to have a pratchett book on
your person, as suggested by M. Stephenson (fat chance you will, or
think to #chat if you do, but it could be a tournament novelty or something
obscure to strive for).
- can draw some additional Death quotes from the tribute file. (There's two
in there right now. If anyone wants to add or suggest some more, please go
ahead. The Death quotes are at the end of the tribute file. One-liners
only please or the code will only pull the last line.
Three fixes, the first leading to the need to fix the second, and that
fix making dealing with the third be straightforward.
First, make the furthest level reached in any given branch be considered
interesting by #overview, even if no interesting features have been
encountered. This will result in listing Gnomish Mines and their first
level when someone goes down the stairs and immediately back up. It will
also produce a reminder of how far you've been--in each branch--after
retreating for any reason, without the need to manually add an annotation.
Second, #overview was suppressing the range of level numbers for Sokoban
because the author realized that the values were wrong. The record of
the furthest level reached was incorrect for builds-up branches, always
sticking with the deepest level even though it was the entrance. The
overview patch neglected to do the same suppression for Vlad's Tower and
the level range ("36 to 38" or similar) there was wrong. This fixes the
furthest level reached problem and also fixes #overview's level range
handling for builds-up branches.
Third and last, a long-standing issue which I don't think has ever been
formally reported: the level difficulty calculation used for monster
creation treated the upper (harder to get to) levels of builds-up branches
as if they were easier since they're closer to the surface as the gopher
burrows. So sokoban generated easier monsters on its final level than on
the ones leading up to that. Make depth for difficulty purposes account
for descent to the entrance and then ascent to the level of interest.
There was a distressing amount of trial and error involved. The dungeon
layout structures are not exactly easy to work with, and I never managed
to get builds_up() based on branch data to work correctly. Basing it on
dungeon data works as intended provided the branch has more than one
level, but it will yield incorrect result if we ever add a single-level
branch reached via stairs up rather than stairs down.
mtmp->cham was NON_PM, which select_newcham_form interpreted as a completely
random form. This also resulted Vlad getting a random shape, and not getting
the Candelabrum, making the game unwinnable.

Some options in 3.6.0 are determined by what you link with.
The choice of regex support is one.
Let #version show that linked option along with the compile-time options.
Change "Shall I pick your priest/priestess' race, gender, ..." prompt
to "... priest/priestess's ...".
Unfortunately that makes it long enough to push the cursor onto the
next line for basic 80 column display. If caveman/cavewoman's wasn't
already longer I think I would have left the clumsier phrasing/spelling.
Change end of game disclosure's display for strength, dexterity, &c to
always show the maximum possible value instead of only when the final
value was less than maximum. For both end of game and ^X, change the
description from "limit" to "innate limit" if the current value exceeds
limit due to worn items (gauntlets of power, +N ring of adornment, &c).
When reading a passage from a tribute novel, put the final attribution
line "[$TITLE, by Terry Pratchett]" into message history, comparable to
the summary line for deliver-by-window quest messages.

The work for getting this working fully is now moving to the background_tiles branch.
In master, we just return the standard lit room tile for now, no change in behavior.
No ports utilize the new parameter as yet.
Add MG_OBJPILE flag, which windowports can use to check if a location
has more than one object stack. If use_inverse is on, TTY will use
inverse to show such piles. If a boulder is the topmost item on a pile,
then the object pile flag is not used; mainly because boulders are "solid",
boulders dropped by monsters are nearly always over other objects, and so
that special levels such a Sokoban can "hide" items under the boulders.
TODO: a "pilemark", analogous to "petmark", perhaps a green plus sign,
which can be used by windowports with tiles.

print_glyph now takes a second parameter.
Tiles on tiled ports always looked odd on places like the plane of air
where the background color of the tile didn't match the general background
of the surrounding area.
3.6 made that even worse and more glaringly noticeable with the introduction
of darkened room tiles.
The code to actually send something useful through the new parameter
for window ports to take advantage if they want will follow.
Remove second 'alt_i' initialization, which was first in implementation.
Superseded by the preceding line, which came later. Works either way,
but the conditional initalization avoids the two extra loop iterations
when they're not useful.
Fix two things with the ';' and '/' commands, both for looking at blank
space. The list of possibilies included "a dark part of a room or the
dark part of a room" even though the code involved goes out of its way
to avoid redundant clauses. S_stone let dark part be prefixed by 'a',
S_room and S_darkroom forced it to be 'the' which is better phrasing
but outsmarted the redundancy check. Make S_stone's use of "dark part
of a room" force 'the' too.
That's trivial; this is more complicated: the new maze variations
exposed/aggravated an issue that's been there all along. In a non-
WALLIFIED maze, doing look-at on the solid stone in-place-of-wall
next to you reported "dark part of a room" which is clearly wrong when
you can tell it's not a room. (The same thing happens in any ordinary
corridor, but players rarely try to identify blank space next to them
it that circumstance so it hasn't mattered very much.) This change
results in look-at listing "unexplored" and "stone" as additional
possibilities when looking at blank spots. Final description will be
"unexplored" instead of dark room if you haven't seen the spot, "stone"
if you have and that's what it is, or "dark part of a room" otherwise.
The special level loader has been using __FUNCTION__ in error messages
for a few months now, but that is a gcc extension (evidently picked up
by other compilers since only Borland had an issue so far). The
standard way to do the same thing is with __func__, but that's C99 so
we should avoid it. (__FUNCTION__ came earlier; gcc supports both.)
This switches to convential C code to achieve the same effect, using
the name 'nhFunc' rather than __FUNCTION__:
void foo()
{
static const char nhFunc[] = "foo";
... code that might report problem in nhFunc ...
return;
}
This has only been added to the functions which actually reference it,
not a blanket intrusion into every routine. In special level loader's
case, the reference is hidden in the opvar_free() macro which is used
quite a lot.
At first I used a macro:
void foo()
{
#define nhFunc "foo"
... code that might report problem in nhFunc ...
return;
#undef nhFunc
}
but using an actual variable avoids duplicate copies of the function
name string when used more than once inside a given function, and it
can't accidentally carry over into the next function due to missing or
misspelled #undef.
If we someday switch alloc() to give more specific information than
__FILE__, the macro variation would be better since the function name
won't be used most of the time (ie, when MONITOR_HEAP isn't defined).
Another minor oddity (did not have time to trace it). Charges for damaged
weapon refer to it as "weapon in hand":

Limit vampire shapeshifting on rogue level to vampire bats (only
choice represented by uppercase letter) and have other shapeshifting
try for uppercase. The latter isn't rigorous because shapeshifters
(chameleon=':', doppelganger='@', sandestin='&') aren't uppercase
themselves, so won't be created there under ordinary circumstances.
It applies to the "summon nasties" monster spell and post-invocation/
post-Wizard's-death harassment effect too.
