Remove date.h and patchlevel.h from win/tty/wintty.c, win/X11/winX.c,
and sys/share/pcmain.c (caveat: the latter two are untested) so that they
don't get recompiled every time any other source file changes and triggers
creation of a new date.h. Only version.c needs to be recompiled in that
situation. Also, Makefile.src was missing a reference to botl.h.
Fix a couple of signed vs unsigned and unused paramater warnings
that pointed to actual bugs. uid values were being handled as int, even
though "modern" systems use type uid_t which could be bigger and is almost
certainly unsigned. There haven't been any reports of nethack falsely
claiming that the wrong user is trying to restore, so in practice this
hasn't mattered, but switch from int to unsigned long to make the chance
of problems be even smaller.
The code to save message history was ignoring the 'mode' argument so
would have attepted to write even when asked to free memory instead. It
isn't currently called by freedynamicdata() so the problem was theoretical
rather than real.
The 'UNUSED' macro is inadequate to handle parameters which are used
by some conditional configurations and unused by others, so there are
still several warnings about unused parameters from save.c and restore.c.
From the newsgroup: if someone adds too many new special levels, dlb
creation during install will give a warning but still exit with success,
and the subsequent installation won't know that the excess files need to be
placed in the playground separately. The result is that some files will
be missing when nethack tries to access them. The newsgroup thread states
that slash'em increased dlb's default limit of 200 files to 300, and the
unnethack variant increased it to 250 and also changed the overflow message
into an error that causes 'make' to quit. (The thread was initiated by
someone working on his own, not affiliated with either variant, who asked
for help figuring out why nethack couldn't find files at the end of the
alphabet. My answer didn't help much; I thought he was working with
separate files rather than with a DLB container.)
I started to go with the too-many-files-is-an-error fix, but instead
went the GNU route ("no arbitrary limits") and made the number of allowed
files become dynamic. It starts at 200 and expands by increments of 40
when necessary.
For text data processed by makedefs at install time, change all
printf and scanf calls that use %lx format to deal with unsigned long
variables, replacing the makedefs hack of a few days ago. It's not as
clean as I would have liked (quite a few casts), because the values
involved are derived from ftell and/or passed to fseek, which deal in
signed longs. But it clears up a few format check warnings by gcc in
rumors.c and pager.c in addition to the previous one in makedefs.c and
uses the right data type even in the places where no warning was issued.
Teach ``make depend'' about the new win/chain code so that the build
rules for that aren't blown away, and then run make depend to get things
up to date. I think hack.h/$(HACK_H) missing botl.h and pcmain.o missing
date.h were the only things significant that turned up.
The comment for CSOURCES says it should have all sources, but the
value had $(SYSSRC) rather than $(SYSCSRC). I've taken the comment at its
word and inserted the missing 'C'; I wonder whether that'll break anything.
Does anybody use ``make tags'' these days?
gcc warned about comparing signed with unsigned for one particular
write() that used an expression for the size argument, and there was already
conditional code to try to handle it for a couple of other compilers. But
this simpler fix should handle it for everybody.
gcc doesn't complain about using %lx to write out a signed long, but
it does complain about using it to read into a signed long. Technically
it's right about the latter, so fix this properly rather than just suppress
the message with a cast.
This is the code I built trying to figure out the large window size issue.
It completely compiles out if not needed (see -DWINCHAIN in hints/macos10.7)
and except for one call during setup has zero overhead if compiled in and
not used. See window.doc for more info.
Defs for UNUSED parms. I know this has been controversial, so use is isolated
to the chain code and windows.c (where it shouldn't be intrusive and saves about
50 warnings).
Hints file for 10.7, but the build process still needs to be migrated from
the branch.
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.
From a bug report, if you used the apply command while
not carrying anything applicable except for unknown potion, you would get
"you don't have anything to apply" if that potion wasn't oil but an
inventory selection prompt (with '*' as the default since you wouldn't
have anything considered to be a likely candidate) if that potion was oil,
giving away information.
This fix makes carrying any unknown potion yield the inventory
selection result, unless oil is already discovered and hero can see that
the unknown potion isn't oil.
Conditional on H2344_BROKEN which can be disabled at the top of the file if
necessary. This appears to handle all the cases I was able to reproduce from
Pat's list, with the caveat that msg_window=f fails on very wide windows on
Mac OSX Lion with the default terminal emulation. When the emulation is set
to ANSI, it works (the failure mode is the output from a simple putchar() loop
across the contents of history called up from ^P wraps at about the middle
of the window).
Provide a mechanism for cleanly moving between tentative window system
selections during startup. Now, before a second (or later) system is selected,
the first will be notified that it is losing control. See window.doc.
From the newsgroup: casting spell of drain life at Stormbringer
(or Excalibur or Staff of Aesculapius) would reduce its enchantment just
like any other weapon. Drain resistance should protect against that even
when not actively wielded.
