There's still some cleanup to do, but everything seems to be working
nicely: `make -j` works, `make distcheck` passes. There is probably
plenty of bitrot in the package directories (RPM, debian), though.
The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.
Most of the old Makefile.am files are now Makemodule.am. This should
allow for new Makefile.am files that allow local building (to be added
on an as-needed bases). The current remaining Makefile.am files are for
standalone sub-projects.a
The installable bins are currently built in the top-level build
directory. This may change if the clutter gets to be too much.
While this does make a noticeable difference in build times, the main
reason for the switch was to take care of the growing dependency issues:
now it's possible to build tools for code generation (eg, using qfcc and
ruamoko programs for code-gen).
In testing variable fw/precision in PR_Sprintf, I got a nasty reminder
of the limitations of the current progs ABI: passing @args to another QC
function does not work because the args list gets trampled but the
called function's locals. Thus, the need for a va_copy. It's not quite
the same as C's as it returns the destination args instead of copying
like memcpy, but it does copy the list from the source args to a
temporary buffer that is freed when the calling function returns.
Putting it in Editor worked as a proof of concept, but it seems those
always turn out to need tweaking like this because the concept proves
itself to be generally worthwhile :P
Leaking memory. And worse, it wasn't drawing its buttons (group wasn't
setting view contexts) and then the buttons were in the wrong place, so
had to add a backing buffer for the buttons.
This puts a print command (to Sys_Printf) into the queue making it
easier to check command sequences since regular printf is asynchronous
with the stream.
It currently dies when single stepping or exiting due to EditBuffer's
retain count not getting incremented when initialized. This is because
EditBuffer is initialized in C and thus does not call Object's -init.
Things were getting rather cluttered with everything being qwaq-* and
all in one directory. Now most have lost the qwaq- prefix and have been
moved into subdirectories (non-recursive make).
