Dropping an existing fragile item while levitating will usually
break it. Getting a new wished-for fragile item and dropping it
because of fumbling or overfull inventory never would.
Some callers of hold_another_object() held on to its return value,
others discarded that. That return value was unsafe if the item
was dropped and fell down a hole (or broke [after this change]).
Return Null if we can't be sure of the value, and make sure all
callers are prepared to deal with Null.
Seven year old suggestion was to have a killer bee eat royal jelly if
there was no queen around, then after a short delay it would become a
queen. This does that, with "no queen around" being "no queen bee on
current dungeon level" and the transformation happening immediately
with the "short delay" taking place after.
Pet killer bees will target nearby royal jelly if there's no queen,
hostile killer bees will only eat it if they happen to walk on the
same spot as one. Both types accept either tame or hostile queen bee
as an existing queen.
Killer bees eating royal jelly will drop dead if queen bees have been
genocided, and aren't smart enough to avoid the instinct to eat such
if/when that happens to be the situation.
Another one from 6.5 years ago, identifying a type of gem should give
a new price for any unpaid gems of that type and adjust shopping bill
accordingly. Report was for rubbing with touchstone and learning
worthless glass with price not changing until the learned 'gem' was
dropped. Fix works for that and also other forms of identification
(and for amnesia, raising prices of forgotten gems); no dropping is
required for the price to change.
Theoretically could apply to any type of item, but prices of gems are
by far the most sensitive to whether or not they're identified.
The Unix Makefile.{src,utl} use the compiler name 'gcc' by default on
OSX, and that invokes clang which defines __GNUC__ to deal with gcc
extensions. But when invoked via the Xcode IDE, it evidently uses its
own name instead, and wasn't defining __GNUC__. tradstdc.h started
down the road of duplicating gcc features; switch to pretending to be
gcc instead.
Casting to (void) to discard a function return value doesn't satisfy
gcc's -Wunused-result (which we aren't enabling but is apparently
being activated for particular functions by glibc header files). Turn
it into a no-op to suppress three dozen warnings from Travis builds.
I don't know why we have two different functions which do exactly
the same thing (checking whether an item is unpaid or is a container
that holds at least one unpaid item), but switch the #H2504 fix to
use 'the other one' and reverse one of the changes made when using
the inventory one.
I thought that the earlier fix for #H2504 was too easy for anything
shop related. It didn't deal sensibly with containers owned by hero
but holding unpaid shop goods.
That #H number isn't a typo. This finally fixes--at least improves--
something reported eight years ago. The monster types chosen by
mkclass() could be way off in some circumstances. Cited example was
repeated same-race sacrifice by chaotic hero on dungeon level 20; it
produced about twice as many incubi as succubi even though they're
the same as far as difficulty goes. (No changes in the intervening
years had any discernable effect; that was still reproducible.)
The report also mentioned that ndemon() threw away the result from
mkclass() and retried quite often and suggested that mkclass() be
taught to filter by alignment when caller cared about that.
This seems to even things out, although it also made harder monsters
chosen more often. A test program generated these numbers when
picking a chaotic demon 10000 times (level 1 hero on dungeon level 20,
so not realistic; actually probably level 0 hero since the program
didn't initialize struct u.) Third column is the number of times the
monster type was chosen with the old mkclass(), fourth is same for
the new one.

Note that vrock has generation frequency 2 and marilith only 1, so
getting twice as many vrocks as mariliths should be expected.
I temporarily changed ndemon() to ask for lawful demons instead of
chaotic ones and got this.

I also ran it for dragons with any alignment (so the outcome was
never thrown away; 10000 calls were needed for 10000 picks) instead
of demons of specific alignment and am suspicious of the outcome.

There may be a flaw in the test program. Or else old mkclass() was
not very good at picking dragons.
The relatively recent change to lev_comp do deal with apparent junk
in some places in its generated data has triggered a bunch of
"cast to 'vA' (aka 'const char *') from smaller integer type 'int'
[-Wint-to-pointer-cast]"
from clang when building with USE_OLDARGS. Probably should have
added a zillion explicit casts to long and 'L' suffix for 0 rather
than trying to handle both int and long. Or maybe just turned off
that particular warning, which must be coming from -Wall or -Wextra.
This modification has no effect for USE_STDARG or USE_VARARGS configs.
When options processing encountered OPTIONS=windowtype:X,
the code would immediately attempt to switch over to that
windowtype right in the midst of options processing.
This stores the chosen option into
chosen_window[WINTYPELEN]
thus allowing the startup code to choose it after
options processing has been completed.
Jumping or teleporting while levitating in xorn form wouldn't toggle
blocking of levitation when moving from open spots to wall/stone and
unblocking of same when moving the opposite way.
This handles those cases but there are no doubt others. The only
other one I checked was when failed #untrap moves hero onto trap.
That case works correctly--at least after this fix is in place.
Noticed while working on it: change of terrain didn't always update
the status line. When levitation became blocked, it still said Lev
and when unblocked, didn't say that. Next status update got status
condition back in sync.

Because multiple window ports are supported on Windows
now, even in the same executable and selectable via
config file in some cases, some adjustments became
necessary. There will likely be some further refining
of this over the next day or two.
List of changes:
Move Windows startup from sys/share/pcmain.c and
into its own sys/winnt/windmain.c so that it can
be modified to fix some current breakage, and
allow altering the order of some things.
There is startup processing code that is common to
all of the Windows WindowPorts, but that startup
processing code needs to have no dependency on
any one of those WindowPorts.
Yet, during startup processing, some of the initialization
routines can end up calling NetHack functions that
expect an active Window port underneath, and if there
isn't one, routines like pline, impossible, panic can
end up invoking null function pointers.
Place a new file sys/share/safeproc.c, in which a complete
window port is available for early startup processing
purposes. It's WindowPort name field is set to
"safe-startup" just for reference. The prototypes in
include/winprocs.h require that SAFEPROCS be
Usage:
windowprocs = get_safe_procs(0);
initializes a set of winprocs function pointers that ensure
none of the function pointers are left null, but that's all it does.
windowprocs = get_safe_procs(1);
initializes a set of winprocs functions pointers that ensure
none of the function pointers are left null, but also
provides some basic output and input functionality using nothing
other than C stdio routines (no platform or OS specific code).
The conditional code related to WIN32 has been removed from
sys/share/pcmain.c
The code common to all of the Windows WindowPorts calls
get_safe_procs() almost immediately to ensure that
there is a set of WindowPort winprocs available.
