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.
There were multiple symbol-related lists that had to be kept
in sync in various places.
Consolidate some of that into a single new file
defsym.h
with a set of morphing macros that can be custom-called from
the various places that use the sym info without maintaining
multiple occurrences. Most maintenance can be done there.
Rename monsym.h to sym.h since it looks after some
symbols not related to monsters now too.
The defsym.h header file is included in multiple places to
produce different code depending on its use and the controlling
macro definitions in place prior to including it.
Its purpose is to have a definitive source for
pchar, objclass and mon symbol maintenance.
The controlling macros used to morph the resulting code are
used in these places:
- in include/sym.h for enums of some S_ symbol values
(define PCHAR_ENUM, MONSYMS_ENUM prior to #include defsym.h)
- in include/objclass.h for enums of some S_ symbol values
(define OBJCLASS_ENUM prior to #include defsym.h)
- in src/symbols.c for parsing S_ entries in config files
(define PCHAR_PARSE, MONSYMS_PARSE, OBJCLASS_PARSE prior
to #include defsym.h)
- in src/drawing.c for initializing some data structures/arrays
(define PCHAR_DRAWING, MONSYMS_DRAWING, OBJCLASS_DRAWING prior
to #include defsym.h)
- in win/share/tilemap.c for processing a tile file
(define PCHAR_TILES prior to #include defsym.h).
rename sys/winnt to sys/windows
move vs (visual studio) folder out of win/win32 and into sys/windows
rename include/ntconf.h to include/windconf.h
rename winnt.c to windsys.c
place visual studio projects into individual subfolders.
This will hopefully resolve GitHub issue #484 as well.
Get rid of vis_tab.{c,h}, also the commented out remnants of
{dgn_comp,lev_comp}.*, and put back sfstruct.* that erroneously
got removed along with some other stuff way back when.
Untested, and the lua stuff needs to be modularized.
I was looking into adding a confirmation prompt for '!' and it
isn't very promising due to sequencing issues. (The check for
whether '!' is allowed should happen before the prompt about
running it but the latter should take place in the core rather
than in the port code.) In the mean time, I noticed that VMS was
ignoring the SHELLERS value from SYSCF.
Untested implementation of a SHELLERS check on VMS. Even if it
works, it should not be using $USER as the user name to verify.
Tweaks the Unix implementation of check_user_string() but doesn't
switch the testing loop to the simpler version used by VMS which
is derived from the generic users test used by Qt.
Preparation for moving enlightenment and conduct into new source
file insight.c. Right now it's a stub that shouldn't break anything
whether included or omitted. Once makefiles and project files have
been updated to compile and link it, the actual code will be moved.
unix/Makefile.src has been updated;
vms/Makefile.src and vmsbuild.com have been updated but not tested.
Replace a few tabs, remove a few trailing spaces, and shorten a few
long lines.
Readme still needs another fix: if falsely claims to contain all bug
fixes since 3.6.4. I wasn't sure how to reword that so didn't try.
Also, fix a couple of old typos in Install.vms.
