It now takes a context pointer (opaque data) that holds the buffers it
uses for the temporary strings. If the context pointer is null, a static
context is used (making those uses of va NOT thread-safe). Most calls to
va use the static context, but all such calls have been formatted
consistently so they are easy to find when it comes time to do a full
audit.
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The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.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).
I added Sys_RegisterShutdown years ago and never really did anything
with it: now any system that needs to be shutdown can ensure it gets
shutdown on program exit, and in the correct order (ie, reverse to init
order).
Most subsystems that depend on other subsystems now call the init functions
themselves. This makes for much cleaner client initialization (more work
needs to be done for the server).
in_dga -> 0 (until X is fixed)
gl_multitexture -> 1 (why was this 0? not enough support back then?)
cl_usleep -> 1 (seems to be ok)
host_mem_size -> 40 (even 32 isn't enough these days)
rate -> 10000 (we're not in the modem era any more)
cl_mem_size -> 32 (16 is not enough, 32 sounds better than 24)
Here's a patch to NET_SendToAll() which was always
broken: it never skipped non-connected clients.
Depending on the compiler, it would wait the whole
5 seconds of its blocktime before it gave up.
While there, changed its blocktime argument to
double (the comparison is against a double.)
Most of the guts of configure.ac have been moved to config.d and are then
brought in by m4_include. This will make maintaining configure.ac much easier.
Also drop use of PROGRAM and VERSION, using PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, and
on occasion, PACKAGE_STRING instead, and clean out some old files we no longer
need.
