I never liked it, but with C2x coming out, it's best to handle bools
properly. I haven't gone through all the uses of int as bool (I'll leave
that for fixing when I encounter them), but this gets QF working with
both c2x (really, gnu2x because of raw strings).
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.
They take a pointer to a free-list used for hashlinks so the hashlink
pools can be per-thread. However, hash tables that are not updated are
always thread-safe, so this affects only updates. progs_t has been set
up such that it is easy for multiple progs within one thread can share
hashlinks.
While scan-build wasn't what I was looking for, it has proven useful
anyway: many of the sizeof errors were just noise, but a few were actual
bugs (allocating too much or too little memory).
of using a colon to specify a parent class in a GIB class definition,
"extends" is now used. If no parent class is specified, it now defaults to
Object.
object, the sending object is included in the message. This is available
in GIB-scripted methods as the local variable "sender", which will be 0
if the sender was not an object.
and probably has enough bugs to leave the Orkin man scratching his head,
but it works and allows you to do neat things like write classes in GIB
(amazing!) and subclass builtin classes (which are Object and Thread at the
moment, Hash should be coming soon as a replacement for stem and leaf
variables).
