The nomakedefs stuff for cross-compiling support broke the code to
treat enabling or disabling some optional features as not breaking
save and bones file compatibility. It was relying on a macro whose
definition was local to mdlib.c rather than propagated among files.
makedefs still constructs date.h with a value indicating the ignored
features but the actual compatability check doesn't use that anymore.
Toggling SCORE_ON_BOTL shouldn't have caused existing files to be
rejected but they were.
The nomakedefs struct starts out with static values, then if/when
populate_nomakedefs() is called, the fields are given dynamic values.
free_nomakedefs() needs to know what state it's in.
A big chunk of this if just formatting for indentation.
MONITOR_HEAP+heaputil pointed out some unreleased memory. The livelog
stuff wasn't being freed. Not surpringly the data used for collecting
and formatting build-options that just got changed from strdup() to
dupstr() wasn't being freed. And a couple of date/version bits.
I tried building with MONITOR_HEAP defined for the first time in a
while. It wasn't pretty.
date.c was calling libc's strdup() instead of our dupstr() so alloc.c
wasn't tracking those allocations when/if MONITOR_HEAP is enabled.
Then it called free() which is actually a call to nhfree() in that
situation. If the file of allocations and releases was subsequently
fed to heaputil, it would complain about freeing pointers that hadn't
been allocated.
Worse, makedefs and tilemap wouldn't link. For MONITOR_HEAP,
makedefs was undefining free() in order to avoid nhfree() but it now
links with date.o so got nhfree() calls anyway. And it wouldn't link
because that routine isn't available without alloc.o. tilemap
doesn't link with date.o but it does call malloc() and free() and it
wasn't undefining free(), so looked for nhfree() when linking and got
the same no-such-routine failure.
This evolves and hopefully eases the game-build requirements by
removing game-compile dependencies on any header files generated
by the makedefs utility, including:
date.h dependency and its inclusion is removed and comparable functionality
is produced at runtime via new file src/date.c.
pm.h dependency and its inclusion is removed and comparable functionality is
produced by moving the monster definitions from monst.c into new header
file called monsters.h and altering them slightly. The former pm.h header
file #define PM_ values are now replaced with appropriate emitted enum
entries during the compiler preprocessing.
onames.h dependency and its inclusion is removed and comparable functionality
is produced by moving the object definitions from objects.c into new header
file called objects.h and altering them slightly. The former onames.h header
file #define values are now replaced with appropriate emitted enum entries
during the compiler preprocessing.
artilist.h has been slightly altered, and the former onames.h artifact-related
header file #define ART_ values are now replaced with appropriate emitted enum
entries during the compiler preprocessing.
makedefs can still produce date.h (makedefs -v), pm.h (makedefs -p), and
onames.h (makedefs -o) for reference purposes. They won't be used during
the compiler.
The other uses for makedefs remain. They are used to prepare external
file content that the game utilizes, not prerequisite code for the
compile:
makedefs -d (database)
makedefs -r (rumors)
makedefs -h (oracles)
makedefs -s (epitaphs, engravings, bogusmons)
date.c
Pull the code for date/time stamping from mdlib.c into date.c.
Set date.o to be dependent on source files, header files, and .o files
so that date.o is rebuilt from date.c when any of those changes, thus
ensuring an accurate date/time stamp. It also includes git sha
functionality formerly done by makedefs writing #define directives
into include/date.h. For unix it passes the git info on
the compile line for date.c (via sys/unix/hints/linux.2020, macOS.2020)
nethack --dumpenums (optional, but on by default)
Allow developer to obtain some internal enum values from NetHack
without having to resort to an external utility such as
makedefs.
Uncomment #define NODUMPENUMS in config.h to disable this.
The updates to sys/windows/Makefile.gcc have not been tested yet.
