This is an extremely extensive patch as it hits every cvar, and every
usage of the cvars. Cvars no longer store the value they control,
instead, they use a cexpr value object to reference the value and
specify the value's type (currently, a null type is used for strings).
Non-string cvars are passed through cexpr, allowing expressions in the
cvars' settings. Also, cvars have returned to an enhanced version of the
original (id quake) registration scheme.
As a minor benefit, relevant code having direct access to the
cvar-controlled variables is probably a slight optimization as it
removed a pointer dereference, and the variables can be located for data
locality.
The static cvar descriptors are made private as an additional safety
layer, though there's nothing stopping external modification via
Cvar_FindVar (which is needed for adding listeners).
While not used yet (partly due to working out the design), cvars can
have a validation function.
Registering a cvar allows a primary listener (and its data) to be
specified: it will always be called first when the cvar is modified. The
combination of proper listeners and direct access to the controlled
variable greatly simplifies the more complex cvar interactions as much
less null checking is required, and there's no need for one cvar's
callback to call another's.
nq-x11 is known to work at least well enough for the demos. More testing
will come.
These are the ones where I could easily make scan-build happy. They do seem
to be potential holes where invalid data in one place could result in use
of uninitialized values.
It seems qsockaddr's assumptions aren't necessarily portable, as OpenBSD
seems to be doing weird things with qsa_family. Even if that's not the
case, this is cleaner.
This allows the correct address to be put in the server info packet
allowing nq to work on multi-homed hosts. More testing needs to be done to
ensure nothing is broken, or better yet, a rewrite of the networking code
to properly associate the information with the packets.
on hostname as hostname might resolve to 127.0.0.1, which isn't good for
trying to play networked games. if the attempt fails, fall back to the
hostname method
