On Windows, if you build without STATUS_HILITES defined,
you'll be greeted by the following barrage of errors when
you start the game.
On Windows, use makedefs to detect that STATUS_HILITES
isn't defined, and comment out the offending lines in
the sample config file.

mons[].difficulty takes over for monstr[]
Invoking "makedefs -m" gives a deprecation message; it is also included
in the (now mostly empty) monstr.c.
Ports should now remove "makedefs -m" from their build procedures but this
commit does not include that change.
Incorporate some git information into NetHack so that it
is potentially visible to a player. That's useful when
collecting details about the version that they are
running and, if the gitinfo is present, it can tie the
code to a specific git commit in the repository.
This modifies 'makedefs -v' to check for the presence of a data file
called dat/gitinfo.txt and if it is there, parse out its
contents, then write additional lines to include/date.h beyond
what 'makedefs -v' was previously putting in there, similar to
this sample:
#define NETHACK_GIT_SHA "0c84e564c78e2024e562d39539376ce2e21eec8e"
#define NETHACK_GIT_BRANCH "NetHack-3.6.0"
The contents of an appropriate dat/gitinfo.txt are as follows,
and trailing/leading whitespace is not significant:
githash = 0c84e564c78e2024e562d39539376ce2e21eec8e
gitbranch = NetHack-3.6.0
It also adjusts the contents of the 'v' version information to
include the additional git info when available.
Also adds some hooks DEVEL/hooksdir and a perl file to DEVEL
for simplifying and automating the deposit of dat/gitinfo.txt
so that it generally reflects the most current git commit.
DEVEL/gitinfo.pl can be used to build dat/gitinfo.txt at any
time without doing a commit, merge, or checkout.
perl DEVEL/gitinfo.pl
command line --version and -version support
To complement the extra information being provided in the
version by the 'v' command, this also adds support for the
following new command line arguments:
--version
-version Output the NetHack version string then exit.
--version:paste Output the NetHack version string and also copy it to
-version:paste the platform's paste buffer for insertion somewhere,
then exit.
If the paste variation of -version is requested on a platform that
hasn't incorporated any support for the capability, it will deliver
the version info then an error message, prior to exiting.
To support the extended -version:paste variation, a port needs to:
- provide a port-specific routine to perform
the paste buffer copy in a port code file.
- #define RUNTIME_PASTEBUF_SUPPORT in the include/portconf.h header file.
--skeleton--
void port_insert_pastebuf(buf)
char *buf;
{
/* insert code to copy the version info from buf into
platform's paste buffer in a supported way */
}
macosx and Windows have both added support for RUNTIME_PASTEBUF_SUPPORT
Apply user-contributed patch to make do_vision() handle FILE_PREFIX
correctly. It was putting that value into the filename buffer, then
overwriting it with the ordinary filename instead of appending.
Deletion of just-made vis_tab.h when creation of vis_tab.c fails would
have failed too if FILE_PREFIX had been working.
The patch was against 3.4.3 and didn't apply cleanly to current code,
but it is a staightforward fix, although the file deletion case was
buggy (failed to clear "vis_tab.c" from buffer before reconstructing
"vis_tab.h" via appending stuff). FILE_PREFIX seems to be Amiga-only
so I've only tested the usual case where it isn't defined.
I've sometimes seen
, and basic NetHack features.
as the last line of the features section from '#version'. I thought
it was due to the way feature phrases were split into individual words
by makedefs, but it turned out to be due to inserting pattern matching
method at run-time. That dynamic options update had a second problem:
if the final phrase "and basic NetHack features" was split across two
lines, the run-time substitution didn't find it and the pattern matching
entry ended up being left out. This fixes both problems, but if future
dynamic entries become more complex, the phrase-splitting/word-wrapping
being done by makedefs may need to be moved into nethack.
Also, add entries for XLOGFILE and PANICLOG to makedefs' options and
re-order a couple of existing ones alphabetically (a failry hopeless
endeavor).
Having selectable base indexes for the monster list doesn't seem
likely to be needed in the future any more, now that the code for
the monster list is stable. Additionally, the functionality in
question has bitrotted heavily (e.g. many "loops over all
permonsts" start at a hardcoded 0, which wouldn't work with a
1-indexed monster list). As a result, removing the relevant code
in makedefs makes it clearer what can and can't be assumed about
the code, reducing the risk of bugs in the future.
Thanks to FIQ for mentioning that this could be an issue.
This is from the pull request for the assertion failure fix. It
did not mention how to reproduce the assertion failure, just added
casts to a bunch of isspace/isprint/tolower calls that didn't already
have such.
I removed an obsolete change for win/tty/topl.c and changed the
win/win32/mswproc.c code to avoid using an expression with side-effects
(*colorstring++) in calls to tolower() in case someone overrides that
with a macro which evaluates its argument more than once as some pre-
ANSI ones used to do. Not tested, might have typos....
sys/wince/*.c still needs similar casts.
Take the 4-5 line Debian patch and turn it into six dozen lines of
new code. The submitted patch introduces use of several C library
routines that aren't presently in use, so would need testing by all
functional or nearly-functional ports to verify that it wouldn't
break anything. It also switched the formatted build date+time
from localtime to UTC. This makes the code conditional so it can
be ignored by anybody and avoid the risk of breakage. And a lot of
the increase in size is comments attempting to explain what the new
conditional is for: when REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD is defined, makedefs
will use getenv("SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH") (whose value is an integer
representing seconds since 1-Jan-1970) instead of current date+time
when generating date.h. The purpose is to be able to rebuild at a
later date and produce an identical program, which doesn't happen
when compile time gets incorporated into the binary.
I've added some sanity checking to try to make sure the getenv()
value obtained isn't bogus. And the version string put into date.h
will be slightly different, allowing someone who sees date.h or 'v'
output to tell whether SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH was involved: showing
"<port> NetHack <version> last revision <date>" instead of the
usual "... last build <date>".
To test, checkout a new branch for building, make any local edits
to unixconf.h and config.h, including enabling REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD,
git add+commit them, then use
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=`git log -1 --pretty=%ct` make install
Other ports will need a bit more work to set up the environment,
but can still use git to track file dates and supply the latest.
Building with alternate configurations could be accomplished by
using tags instead of 'log -1' or by using distinct build branches
where nothing is commited/merged/rebased after completed build.
Unresolved issue: BUILD_DATE, VERSION_ID, and COPYRIGHT_BANNER_C
contain formatted date+time but omit timezone. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
is assumed to be UTC but the formatted values don't say so, so it
might appear to be incorrect when compared with local time. We
definitely don't want to start mucking about with timezones within
nethack, so I think we just live with this. It's not an issue for
default configruation where REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD is left disabled.
The Makefile race condition report included a link to a log file
of the build attempt, and it contained this:
makedefs.c: In function 'do_grep_control':
makedefs.c:611:26: warning: suggest parentheses around operand of '!'
or change '|' to '||' or '!' to '~' [-Wparentheses]
#define ST_LD(old, opp) (!!(old) | (!!(opp) << 1))
^
makedefs.c:722:37: note: in expansion of macro 'ST_LD'
grep_stack[++grep_sp] = ST_LD(grep_writing, !isif);
^
They're using a more recent version of gcc than I am, because my
CFLAGS includes -Wparentheses (via -Wall) and I don't get that.
It's a little confusing, but I think it's whining that we might
have meant !!((old) | (!!(opp) << 1))
rather than (!!(old)) | (!!(opp) << 1).
The latter is what we get (and what we intended--no bug here).
I changed it to something that more directly reflects the intent
since it's not bit twiddling within some crucial innermost loop.
Make genl_status_update behave approximately the same as basic bot2
when processing the second status line. Preferred order:
Dlvl Gold Hp(HpMax) Pw(PwMax) AC Xp Time Conditions
Alternate orders if above exceeds COLNO (note several extra spaces
get sequeezed out). First one is used if everything except time fits,
second one is used if everything except experience (which can be wide
if 'showexp' option is on) and time fits, third is last resort:
Dlvl Gold Hp(HpMax) Pw(PwMax) AC Xp Conditions Time
Dlvl Gold Hp(HpMax) Pw(PwMax) AC Conditions Xp Time
Hp(HpMax) Pw(PwMax) AC Conditions Dlvl Gold Xp Time
Basic bot2 currently has Conditions as
Stone Slime Strngl FoodPois TermIll <hunger> <encumbrance> Blind Deaf
Stun Conf Hallu Lev Fly Ride
genl_status_update has
<hunger> <encumbrance> Stone Slime Strngl FoodPois TermIll Blind Deaf
Stun Conf Hallu Lev Fly Ride
which is as close as it can get with the current field organization.
Tested by temporarily changing tty_procs.status_init and .status_update
to use genl_* instead of tty_*.
Several people have asked if 3.6.0 supports playing with tiles on
a public server. Because there's no way for the user's end to know
what that white @ is, this adds special console escape codes for
tile hinting.
The idea was originally a patch called TelnetTiles by Justin Hiltscher,
but this expanded version comes via NAO, where it's been in use for years.
This is basically an interim hack, which should go away when/if
we support actual client-server model.
If makedefs.c is compiled with MONITOR_HEAP defined, attempted calls to
free() resulted in link failure. Since makedefs doesn't use alloc(),
call free() directly instead of redirecting to nhfree().
Also some assorted reformatting....

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.
makedefs.c: In function 'fgetline':
makedefs.c:2630: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
makedefs.c: At top level:
makedefs.c:2638: warning: ISO C does not allow extra ';' outside of a function
fgetline() makes my recent check for quest line truncation become
redundant, so strip that out. I haven't taken the corresponding
macro out of qtext.h though.
[I didn't see any patch introducing 'fgetline'. Was it hidden as
part of some big merge?]
Make the input buffer for quest messages bigger so that the expanded
header line from nhsub won't be too long. Also, makedefs will notice
and report too long lines ('makedefs -q' only) and sanely proceed with
the rest of the file instead of treating the excess part of a long
line as a separate line.
I'll push a formatting guide at some point. There may still be
outstanding changes, but please feel free to resolve those as you arrive
a them.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no changes to the actual code
content, but the formatter does have the occasional bug. If you run into
an issue, please fix it!

Adjust the code and the command line Makefile so that
you no longer have to choose whether to build the tty
version NetHack.exe, or the gui version NetHackW.exe.
Both will now be built in a single 'nmake install' pass.
It should now be randomly disabled for a 3rd of Gehennom, to make things
a tad more interesting there. It's also disabled in Baalzebub's lair,
to make things a little more interesting.
Still don't know why the beetle is disappearing.
