Until now, the new qwaq startup was used only in command-line tools and
console applications where things like Ruamoko security and having a
hunk were not an issue. Now the start up code (qwaq-*.c) can specify
that Ruamoko is to be secured and provide a hunk on a per-thread basis,
and the thread data is passed into the progs code via a progs resource.
It now uses the advanced command line parsing used by qwaq-curses and
qwaq-cmd, but currently disables multi-threading (I don't want to deal
with threading in the engine just yet). The int file is -graphics
because qwaq-x11 is really just the X11 target, qwaq-win is built for
windows, but they use the same basic startup (I hope).
This is needed for cleaning up excess memsets when loading files because
Hunk_RawAllocName has nonnull on its hunk pointer (as the rest of the
hunk functions really should, but not just yet).
As it is now a completely separate sub-system, there is a bit of trouble
with mouse handling in that curses must be initialized before input for
the mouse to work properly, but the basic scheme seems to be working
nicely. I suspect the solution to the init order issue is to make have
the curses sub-system initialize the terminal input driver, at least for
mouse input (ie, maybe just enable/disable mouse handing).
qwaq-curses has its place, but its use for running vkgen was really a
placeholder because I didn't feel like sorting out the different
initialization requirements at the time. qwaq-cmd has the (currently
unnecessary) threading power of qwaq-curses, but doesn't include any UI
stuff and thus doesn't need curses. The work also paves the way for
qwaq-x11 to become a proper engine (though sorting out its init will be
taken care of later).
Fixes#15.
While this does answer the question of how I'll go about restarting the
target progs (when I get to that point), it was required just to start
full-on ruamoko progs because .ctor was getting run in the main thread
and blocking due to trace.
It's a fairly high-level wrapper for TextBuffer in that it implements
file ops (load/save), searching, navigation, and formatting (simple
line-oriented with tab stops (currently at 4 spaces)).
This fixes the dependency issues between qwaq and ruamoko. qwaq is
actually older than ruamoko. That little language feature test has come
a long way.
However, I'm considering moving to non-recursive make, but...
