Make the variadic functions look more like ordinary code rather than
have the function opening brace be hidden inside the VA_DECL() macro.
That brace is still there, but VA_DECL() now needs to be followed by
a visible brace (which introduces a nested block rather than the
start of the funciton). VA_END() now provides a hidden closing brace
to end the nested block, and the existing closing brace still matches
the one in VA_DECL().
Sample usage:
void foo VA_DECL(int, arg) --macro expansion has a hidden opening brace
{ --new, explicit opening brace (actually introduces a nested block)
VA_START(bar);
...code for foo...
VA_END(); --expansion now provides a closing brace for the nested block
} --existing closing brace, still pairs with the hidden one in VA_DECL()
This should help if/when another round of reformatting ever takes place,
and also with editors or other tools that do brace/bracket/parenthesis
matching.
I had forgotten that there were variadic functions in sys/* and ended
up modifying a lot more files than intended. The majority of changes
to those just inserted a new '{' line so that revised VA_END()'s '}'
won't introduce a syntax error. A couple of them needed VA_END() moved
so that local variables wouldn't go out of scope too soon. Only the
Unix ones have been tested.
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!
Replace most uses of isspace() with a simple test for ' ' after
processing the string buffer with mungspaces (which replaces tab
with space, converts instances of consecutive whitespace into a
single space, and removes leading and trailing spaces). The uses
where this wasn't done now cast their argument to (uchar) so that
platforms with signed chars will never pass negative values to it.
I didn't mess with the menu coloring code (except for casts to the
isspace() argument); it almost certainly could benefit from using
mungspaces. I did mess with the symset processing quite a bit,
and hope I haven't accidentally broken anything. Default symbols
and DECgraphics symbols still parse and display ok, so the rest of
dat/symbols should be ok too. I didn't test symbols in the user's
config file because I don't remember how that's supposed to work.
Adds the "sortloot" compound option, with possible values
of "none", "loot", or "full". It controls the sorting of
item pickup lists for inventory and looting.
Instead of just "while helpless", the death reason will tell
more explicitly why the player was helpless. For example:
"while frozen by a monster's gaze"
Add 'o' to "i a v g c" disclosure set, to display final dungeon
overview at end of game. It lists all levels visited rather than just
those that #overview considers to be interesting, but it doesn't reveal
any undiscovered aspects of those levels except for the presence of bones.
(I think revealing shops and altars and such would be worthwhile, but the
data for that isn't handy at the time.) If the game ends due to death,
the bones section of the current level will have "you, <reason you died>"
(before any real bones entries for that level). That occurs before bones
file creation so it doesn't give away whether bones are being saved.
end.c includes some unrelated lint cleanup.
Guidebook.{mn,tex} updates the section for autopickup_exceptions as
well as for disclose. It had some odd looking indentation due to various
explicit paragraph breaks. I took "experimental" out of its description
since it was moved out of the experimental section of config.h long ago.
The revised Guidebook.tex is untested.
(This covers some thing that Pat found and some things I found while working
on those.)
Unscramble duplicate use of GREPPATH and GDBPATH symbols.
Add some more info to config.h.
Make missing SYSCF_FILE a fatal error.
Make a parse error in SYSCF_FILE a fatal error.
Rename PANICTRACE_GLIBC (et al) to PANICTRACE_LIBC (et al) since FreeBSD
and Mac OS X (at least) also implement the needed API.
Allow SYSCF_FILE to be unreadable by the user (for setgid installs).
If SYSCF, do NOT fall back to the compiled in WIZARD account.
Put WIZARD into sysopt and remove special cases in authorize_wizard_mode().
Part II of the bones tracking patch. Change umpteen different outrip()
routines to handle its new time_t argument, and use formatkiller() instead
of directly accessing killer.{format,name} and killed_by_prefix[]. The
latter is now static within formatkiller().
The many sys/* and win/* changes are untested....
[See cvs log for include/rm.h or doc/window.doc for more complete description.]
Attach hero info, death reason, and date+time to a level that's being saved
as bones. Read such data back when loading a bones file, then treat it as
part of that level for the rest of the game. Dying on a loaded bones file
will chain the new hero+death+date to previous one(s) if new bones get saved.
outrip() now takes an extra argument of type time_t, and interface-specific
implementations of this routine need to be updated to handle that.
Simplify many of the intrinsics macros from
#define xxx_resistance (Hxxx || Exxx || resists_xxx(&youmonst))
down to
#define xxx_resistance (Hxxx || Exxx)
by setting or clearing an extra bit in Hxxx during polymorph so that the
resists_xxx() check becomes implicit.
Unfornately there were lots of places in the code that treat Hxxx
as a timeout number--primarily for Stunned, Confused, and Hallucination;
Stunned happens to be one of the revised macros--rather than as a bit
mask, so this patch needed a lot more changes than originally antipated.
Move the toptenwin option from flags to iflags to keep it out of
save files, thus preventing odd behavior from win32 (nethackW.exe) when
restoring and finishing games started and saved with tty (nethack.exe).
[See cvs log entry for flag.h for more complete explanation.]
The preliminary implementation of PANICTRACE on VMS had a "Fixme"
that this fixes, and a "TODO" that this makes moot, but the main reason
for this patch is that vmsmisc.c had been changed to call vms_define(),
which resides in vmsunix.c. Since vmsmisc.obj is linked into progarms
in util/ and vmsunix.obj isn't, enabling PANICTRACE caused linking
problems for those. This moves the code that wants to call vms_define()
into vmsunix.c (despite the fact that it's not even vaguely related to
Unix emulation), so that it only matters to nethack and doesn't impact
the utility programs anymore.
This uses a VMS facility called LIB$INITIALIZE to call code before
main() starts. It's rather messy--at least when written in something
other than assembler or Bliss--and shouldn't be needed for nethack,
but I couldn't figure out how to trap the condition signalled by
lib$signal(SS$_DEBUG) when the debugger isn't available to do so, so I
needed a way to make issuing that signal be conditional upon debugger
availability. One of the arguments passed to LIB$INITIALIZE-invoked
routines contains information that makes if feasible to deduce whether
the debugger is available.
Even when PANICTRACE is disabled, that's useful for handling abort
due to panic while in running in wizard mode.
A couple of extensions to the paranoid_confirmation option:
1) add paranoid_confirmation:Confirm -- setting this means that any
prompt where the other paranoid_confirm flags have been set to require
a yes response instead of y to confirm also require explicit no rather
than arbitrary non-yes to reject. It will reprompt if you don't answer
"yes" or "no" (unless you use ESC, which is treated the same as "no").
2) add paranoid_confirmation:bones -- control whether the "save bones?"
prompt in wizard mode requires yes instead of just y. The original user-
developed paranoid_confirm patch required yes unconditionally here, and
I left that out thinking it was undesireable. But after testing the
"your body rises from the dead as <undead>..." fix a couple of days ago,
where you now get an extra message and consequent --More-- prompt just
before "save bones?", I've changed my mind about its usefulness, provided
that it's settable rather than unconditional.
Handling paranoid_confirmation:bones outside of wizard mode is a
bit tricky. Right now, it can still be seen via 'O' if it has been set
in NETHACKOPTIONS, but it won't show up in the menu if you use 'O' to
interactively change the value of paranoid_confirmation. I'm not sure
whether that's the right way to go; it might be better to let non-wizard
users uselessly toggle it on and off rather than only partially hide it.
Or maybe it should be hidden from the current value even when it's set.
Or decline to set it in first place, despite external option settings.
I don't think this is useful enough to recommend ordinary users
enable it, but it's close enough to being useful that I don't want
to leave it to become subject to bit rot like umpteen other unfinished
patches. Anyone running in wizard mode who has a panic already gets
pushed into the debugger on VMS, although it doesn't work for what might
be considered the most important configuration (a secure playground, as
opposed to the wide-open one I've always been content to leave mine at).
From a bug report, receiving the
message "Your body rises from the dead as an <undead>..." gives away
the fact that bones are being created (and its absence when applicable
undead kills the hero gives away the fact that bones aren't being
created). Not very interesting for single player installations where
5-10 seconds later the player is going to check the playground for new
files, but matters on multi-user installations where players don't have
access to the directory and sometimes race each other to juicy bones,
such as nethack.alt.org.
At the end of disclosure, give the message whether bones are being
saved or not (for cases where it would have happened when bones are
created). Player won't know whether new bones are becoming available.
Also, prevent risen undead-from-hero from being given random monster
inventory, but explicitly give mummy-from-hero a mummy wrapping if the
hero isn't already carrying one. It will end up being worn; that's
the only armor mummies are allowed to put on.
[Short writeup; see 'cvs log' of flag.h or options.c for the long one.]
This is a reworking of user contributed patch known as Paranoid_Quit.
Add a new compound option, paranoid_confirmation, accepting a space
separated list of values "quit die attack pray Remove"; default is "pray".
paranoid:quit - yes vs y for "really quit?" and "enter explore mode?"
paranoid:die - yes vs y for "die?" in explore mode or wizard mode
paranoid:attack - yes vs y for "really attack <peacful monster>?"
paranoid:pray - y to pray; supersedes prayconfirm boolean; on by default
paranoid:Remove - always issue an inventory prompt for 'R' an 'T', even
when only one applicable item is currently worn.
Rename ``kickobj'' to ``kickedobj'' so that the tense matches that
of ``thrownobj''. Also, move their declarations to decl.h and their
definitions to decl.c since usage has spread from dokick.c/dothrow.c to
various files and is about to expand to another one.
This is all tiny stuff - allow overriding WIDENED_PROTOTYPES from the hints
file, missing NO_SIGNAL conditionals, remove a GCC-ism, conditional indentation,
void return in a non-void function.
Add missing check for NO_SIGNAL in PANICTRACE versionof NH_abort().
Fix indentation of pre-processing directives.
Add #endif comments to make things clearer.
On crash signal or panic(), use a configurable method to get a stacktrace
the user can easily report to us. Currently only for Unix/Linux and only
ifdef BETA. Hopefully ports can add additional methods.
Bits:
- linux hints file had PREFIX definition in the wrong place
- sample sysconf file used wrong delimiter for WIZARDS
- fix grammar error in support message when using sysconf.wizards
- options.c comment typo
- capitalize "Crash test" output from #panic command
From a bug report, code that always
produced plural feedback (used only for values of N greater than 3) was
unnecessarily handling plural vs singular. No change in game behavior;
just one less function call in the code.
Some post-3.4.3 code to clean up thrown or kicked objects which were
in transit at the end of a game didn't work correctly for kicked objects,
leading to an "obj not free" panic if you kicked an object at some point
and didn't kick anything else before the game was over. Unlike thrownobj,
kickobj wasn't being cleared after use.
I'm not a contender to win any spelling bees. (Mimicker does't
seem to even be a real word; I'm not sure if it ought to end in "or"
instead of "er". But changing it to "mime" would be too weird.)
Augment killer reason when slain by a shapechanged creature:
"killed by a foo" becomes "killed by a chameleon immitating a foo" or
"killed by a vampire in foo form" or "killed by the Wizard of Yendor
disguised as a foo" (after double-trouble, when the clone starts out
mimicking something).
I put the fixes entry in the new features section.
The recent SYSCF patch introduced a build problem even though I
haven't attempt to use that new stuff yet. My compiler complained that
`out' in build_english_list() was used without being initialized, which
in turn caused make to quit. The compiler was right; only the words==1
case actually set up the output buffer. Once that buffer was fixed, the
routine to copy a single word was overwriting it on each call instead of
building up via appending as intended.
I changed the 3 or more case to yield "A, B, or C" like Keni wrote
in his description rather than the "A, B or C" which was being produced.
I'm pretty sure that both forms are considered acceptible; I've always
used the first one with an extra comma in front of and/or.
infrastructure for "system options" - things currently specified at build
time that should be changeable at install time or run time but not really
under user control
generalize contact info so it can be localized and it doesn't have to be
an email address
move recently introduced WIZARDS into sysopt
drop bogus OPTIONS=wizards possibility
new function build_english_list() to comma-ize and add 'or' from a whitespace separated list: A. A or B. A, B, or C.
syscf file now handles: WIZARDS SUPPORT RECOVER
SUPPORT specifies local support information
RECOVER will eventually supply port-specific and/or localized info on how
to run recover (or get it run for you).
Note: in sys/msdos I changed sys.o (generated from pcsys.c) to pcsys.o
Note: sys/msdos/Makefile.GCC has 2 rules for sys.o (now pcsys.o)
Groundwork for re-doing ^X so that it'll be more integrated with
enlightenment and display bottom line information without abbreviations
or long-line truncation. `mode' doesn't do anything yet so may provoke
lint complaints.
Add #vanquished command to show the vanquished monsters list during
play. At present it's only available in wizard mode. Slash'em has it as
a regular mode command, and I found it handy sometimes: when I managed to
kill an unfamiliar monster, I could immediately get an idea of how the game
ranked its difficulty compared to other monsters. But having this command
available might encourage extinctionism. On the other hand, it might stop
some existing extinctionists from cycles of save+copy+restore+quit to view
disclosure data for their current game.
This also makes merging the wizard mode extended commands into other
extended commands be more robust. It will panic instead of going out of
array bounds if someone adds entries to debug_extcmdlist[] without also
expanding extcmdlist[] to make room.
splatter_burning_oil() is called when a lit potion of oil gets
broken, and it can dish out fatal damage to the hero. An earlier fix
to prevent a light-source panic (thrown item is not on any of the object
lists) during bones creation didn't address leaving that lit potion
intact if it was on the floor (which can happen if the breakage is caused
by striking or force bolt rather than its being thrown or kicked). Use
the existing obj->in_use mechanism as a more general fix, after teaching
bones code that it applies to other things besides the hero's inventory.
A couple of things noticed when looking at the death-by-brainlessness
code. The 3.4.3 code ran a loop while life-saving was keeping the hero
alive, which would work if someone added other sources of life-saving than
the amulet but not if they added some form which didn't get used up when
it kicked in. Post-3.4.3, the dev code eliminated the loop but was no
longer guarding against additional forms of life-saving. This attempts to
clear the relevant field once any form of life-saving takes effect (for
brainlessness). It's not perfect since someone could change `Lifesaved'
to look at something other than the hero's properties, but at least it
still avoids the risk of getting stuck in a loop if someone makes a really
bad customization.
Also, make life-saving use min(2*level,10) instead of flat 10 for
amulet or 8*level for explore/wizard survival when it saves someone whose
max HP have been clobbered somehow. Other places assume that 1 HP per
level is the lowest the hero will have; saved-life gives a modest bit more.
Lastly, some post-3.4.3 code to make ghosts/shades immune to brain
sucking was using mon_nam() to start a sentence; Monnam() is needed there.
Part of the final score is doubled for ascension. Some players use
helm of opposite alignment in order to offer and ascend at the first astral
altar they reach. This limits the score doubling to ascending with your
original alignment intact, penalizing (for the subset of players who care
about score) alignment manipulation. Converting to a second alignment and
then using a helm of opposite alignment to switch back and offer to hero's
original deity yields a smaller bonus (one-and-a-half instead of doubling).
Offering to either of the other deities (either via permanent conversion
or temporarily switching via helm or both) gets no score bonus.
There was a report recently about "<pet> is still eating" coming out
on the console at end of game for player using X11 or Qt. That happened
because the end-of-game pet handling takes place after the message window
has been closed. It won't happen with the dev code any more because eating
no longer prevents pets from accompanying on final ascent or escape. But
a pet carrying the Amulet should still fail to tag along and yield similar
result. However, levl_follower() was changed (probably by me...) to have
pets not attempt to follow when they carried the Amulet, rendering code
in keepdogs()--which reported them as being confused--unreachable. This
reverts levl_follower() to have Amulet-carrying monsters other than the
Wizard try to accompany the hero during level changes (and keepdogs still
prevents them from succeeding). It also reorganizes keepdogs() a bit,
giving trapped followers an extra chance to escape from their trap and
preventing those who fail that chance from tagging along (previously,
non-pets ignored being trapped).
After doing that, I got tty to behave similarly to the X11/Qt report:
a message behaved strangely. In my case, it was delivered between a pair
of clearings of the screen and only visible by using terminal emulator's
scrolling buffer. I think there's a wait_synch() missing somewhere, but
haven't tried to figure out where. Instead, this makes the end-of-game
call to keepdogs() take place sooner, while pline() still works normally.
Someone in the newsgroup complained about zapping probing at a large
box dropped by a quantum mechanic and being told that it was empty rather
than that it held a corpse or live cat. This sidesteps the issue by
reporting "the box seems empty" instead of "the box is empty", and not
setting its contents-known flag. (That message is the main difference
between probing and the assorted other methods of observation [telepathy
and monster detection and possibly Warning for live cat, object detection
and food detection for dead cat's corpse] which might be expected to
trigger the cat's fate but don't.) This also makes probing of self and
of monsters set the contents-known and locking-known flags for containers
in inventory, same as is done for probing which hits objects. (Display of
container contents still only occurs for loose objects, not in inventory.)
Some miscellaneous changes preparatory to enhancing the container
interface. This also fixes a minor inconsistency in object manipulation:
askchain() wouldn't let you split a stack of welded weapons but getobj()
would, so you couldn't get rid of part of the stack using 'D' or #loot,
but you could with 'd' (and post-3.4.3, with #adjust). Now getobj() will
behave like askchain(); if you have 3 cursed daggers welded to your hand,
you won't be able to drop 1 or 2 of them anymore.
From a bug report: entering lava cures sliming,
but if you got [re-]afflicted by green slime after becoming stuck in lava,
#sit failed to cure it. Fix that, and have sinking farther into lava cure
it too (although not necessarily right away).
Also, suppress leaving the corpse in a bones file for death caused by
being dissolved in lava. Lastly, suppress the "you rise from the dead as
a <monster>" message during bones creation when the game ends due to being
turned into green slime since you transformed rather than died (and sliming
timeout gives "you have become green slime" just prior to that).
