While chatting about utf-8, I noticed that QF doesn't ensure the input
sequences are the shortest possible encodings. It turns out that the
check is easy in that only the second byte needs to be checked if the
first byte's data bits are 0, and the second byte must have a data value
larger than that representable by the next lower leading byte.
I need to write some automated tests for this, and reading of course,
but 1 and two byte outputs look correct. Kind of sad it took sixteen
years to get around to attempting to use the code :(
And improve the generated code for MSG_ReadShort
I suspect gcc didn't like all the excess pointer dereferences and so
couldn't assume that the bytes were being read sequentially.
And improve the generated code as well (ie, use a code sequence that gcc
recognizes and optimizes to a single 32-bit read and a byte-swap).
nq uses big-endian for its packet headers (arg, though it is consistent
with IP, it's not with the rest of quake).
future protocol extensions. Equivalent to MSG_*Byte or MSG_*Char. Use
MSG_ReadString and MSG_WriteString with the appropriate libc functions for
utf8 strings.
give mst_t a buffer to hold unterminated message strings
kill MSG_ReadStaticString and MSG_ReadStringLine
msg.c:
kill MSG_ReadStaticString and MSG_ReadStringLine
MSG_ReadString: implement the buffer for unterminated message strings
and update readcount on badread
cl_main.c:
go back to MSG_ReadString and fix up the resulting const char * issues
cl_parse.c:
rewrite the cl_mofake code all because of an uninitialized variable :)
sv_main.c:
use MSG_ReadString instead of MSG_ReadStringLine because
Cmd_TokenizeString really doesn't care about a terminating \n
directly into the packet data.
- change a bunch of char *'s to const char *'s for the above. Only
thing that had trouble was the cl_nofake handler, which I changed to
use a local buffer.
- add MSG_ReadStaticString which acts like the old MSG_ReadString,
specifically that it uses a static buffer and tollerates
unterminated strings.
- add a Q_strnlen function, and make strnlen use it if strnlen is
undefined.
- Add a net_svc.h and net_svc.c which will preparse svc messages into
structs, for easier handling. Currently only soundlist and
modellist are done.
nq for abyss etc (ie, the magical -<mod> args).
The interface to the message subsystem got a revamp and all the mods to the .c
files reflect this. currently a little ugly, but I plan on abstracting msg
further to clean it up and make it more oo.
