For now, the functions check for a null hunk pointer and use the global
hunk (initialized via Memory_Init) if necessary. However, Hunk_Init is
available (and used by Memory_Init) to create a hunk from any arbitrary
memory block. So long as that block is 64-byte aligned, allocations
within the hunk will remain 64-byte aligned.
Fixes#12
However, this is a bit of a band-aid in that the code for global defs
seems redundant (there is very similar code a little above that is
always executed) and the code for field defs should probably be executed
unconditionally: I suspect the problem fixed by
d5454faeb7 still shows with game coded
compiled with recent versions of the compiler, I just haven't tested
any.
Support for finding the first address associated with a source line was
added to the engine, returning 0 if not found.
A temporary breakpoint is set and the progs allowed to run free.
However, better handling of temporary breakpoitns is needed as currently
a "permanent" breakpoint will be cleared without clearing the temporary
breakpoing if the permanent breakpoing is hit while execut-to-cursor is
running.
Legacy progs do not have the extended defs data (and usually won't have
anything more complicated than a vector), so use the basic type size for
the def size. Fixes broken edict prints.
The merge with the improvements I made while hacking on csqc (still
undecided as to whether to continue that project) resulted in the size
of the progs string area getting mangled when no heap was allocated for
the progs due to a null zone pointer being used in some pointer
arithmetic. Fixes random(!!!) invalid string error in qfprogs.
While this caused some trouble for pr_strings and configurable strftime
(evil hacks abound), it's the result of discovering an ancient (from
maybe as early as 2004, definitely before 2012) bug in qwaq's printing
that somehow got past months of trial-by-fire testing (origin understood
thanks to the warning finding it).
The server edict arrays are now stored outside of progs memory, only the
entity data itself (ie data accessible to progs via ent.fld) is stored in
progs memory. Many of the changes were due to code accessing edicts and
entity fields directly rather than through the provided macros.
I never liked that some of the macros needed the type as a parameter
(yay typeof and __auto_type) or those that returned a value hid the
return statement so they couldn't be used in assignments.
Still "some" more to go: a pile to do with transforms and temporary
entities, and a nasty one with host_cbuf. There's also all the static
block-alloc lists :/
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).
This allows a debugger to do any symbol lookups and other preparations
between loading progs and the first code execution. .ctors are called as
per normal if debug_handler is not set.
This is the first step in reworking PR_Sprintf to use a state machine.
The goal is to make it more robust against errors and easier to extend
(eg, * width and precision).
