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!
(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().
Pat noted that I neglected to drop the SCCS lines on the files I've been
committing, so clean up those and any others I could find where the SCCS
line date is out of date.
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.
[See cvs log for src/role.c for a much longer description.]
When picking role, race, and so forth, new menu entries allow you to
pick any of the other items before the one currently being handled. After
picking all four of race, role, gender, and alignment (or if you answered
'y' to "shall I pick for you?"), there is a followup prompt to confirm the
choices. It's a menu which also provides a chance to rename the character.
This has only been implemented in win/tty's player_selection(), with
some support code in the core that might be useful to other interfaces.
And so far, the chance to rename is only presented as a menu choice if
you've given an answer to "who are you?" prompt earlier during startup.
Also, ports that use pcmain.c aren't able to perform hero renaming yet.
Add SHELLERS - people allowed to use ! command with same syntax as WIZARDS.
Add new hints file for 10.5, since the rules and commands for groups changed
(new commands introduced in 10.4, old ones removed in 10.5; creating a new
user under 10.4 gave you a matching group, in 10.5 it doesn't). Also move
shared build into roughly right place in file system when being installed
for root - don't use ~root.
Makefile.top - don't remove ./-p unless it exists (that's always annoyed me).
fix error invoking macosx.sh
[See cvs log for src/cmd.c for more complete description.]
This turns clearlocks() into a no-op during the period when the UNIX
port is asking the user to confirm whether to overwrite an existing game.
Also, this removes the duplication of code and function between hangup()
and end_of_input(), and it simplifies the check for whether hangups are
supported by adding new macro HANGUPHANDLING. (I don't think global.h is
the best place to be defining that but I couldn't figure out where else
it would fit, other than repeating for individual xxxconf.h files.) And
adds a couple more done_hup checks to try to cope with situations where
rhack() is being bypassed. Lastly, having readchar() return EOF was
ignored for non-UNIX configs; now everybody gets ESC instead of letting
EOF be seen further inside the core.
Some changes for standard C platforms, to avoid declaring errno explictly.
Such platforms should declare errno in errno.h, which is already included
in the files in question.
This is an initial round of SAFERHANGUP hangup changes. It introduces
SAFERHANGUP, provides the core framework, and enables it for UNIX.
Window-port changes are provided for win/tty, win/X11 and win/gnome. Qt
changes should be forthcoming after having Warwick look at them.
window.doc is updated so windowport maintainers have an clue what needs to
be done to support SAFERHANGUP.
- If you have Gnome installed on solaris, the GETRES support wouldn't build.
I don't have access to a solaris system with Gnome installed, but hacked
unixconf.h to force the GETRES code itself to be compiled. So, I believe the
unixres.c change will work for folks really using Gnome on Solaris.
Whether the rest of the gnome code will build there is beyond me.
- I accidentally left TIMED_DELAY defined and the Solaris build failed.
While solaris has usleep(), this is not part of SVR4 as far as I can tell.
But, SysV does have poll, so I implemented msleep() for SysV systems in
terms of poll. So, you can now define TIMED_DELAY on any SYSV build.
Finally got around to installing OpenBSD (rev 3.3) in a vmware partition.
Found that several #if BSD's were inappropriate for modern BSD's. Haven't
installed FreeBSD or NetBSD, but based on reading their man pages,
these changes are needed there too. Mostly due to POSIX time() signature.
