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.
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The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.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).
This fixes the segfault when loading the menu progs. I had forgotten
that the menu code doesn't use PR_LoadProgs (I don't remember why.
Obsolete reason?).
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.
It is now set to 0 when progs are loaded and every time
PR_ExecuteProgram() returns. This takes care of the default case, but
when setting parameters, pr_argc needs to be set correctly in case a
vararg function is called.
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).
I've decided that setting pr.max_edicts and pr.zone_size as part of the
local progs initialization rather than in PR_LoadProgsFile makes more
sense. For one, it is unlikely for the limits to change every time progs is
reloaded. Also, they seem to be a property of the VM rather than the progs.
However, there is nothing stopping the caller from updating max_edicts and
zone_size every call.
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).
Once and for all: remove the default and move the Sys_Error outside the
switch (changing appropriate breaks to returns). Now gcc will let me know
when I forget to update the switch statements.
This give much better control over individual joystick axes. They now have
per-axis pre and post amplification, the linear controller mappings are
more intuitive, and axes can now bet setup as buttons using thresholds.
Many thanks to Johnny on Flame for his work on the "user interface".
It seems recent(?) 64-bit strcpy implementations of strcpy don't work
properly for overlapping regions even when moving down. Quite the
surprise, as I thought that would always work. *shrug*
o All instances of LIBADD/LDADD have a corresponding DEPENDENCIES
specificatiion.
o libraries now use a lib_ldflags macro to keep things consistent
o duplication of source/lib names has been minimized (particularly in
the libraries; more work needs to be done for the executables)
o automake spec blocks have been organized (again, more work needs to be
done for the executables)
There are some problems with menus and the console messing up the key_dest
state (they assume console/menu or game, nothing else), but otherwise
things seem to work.
Use the resource map code for handle management (much safer).
Add support for the enter callback (function or method).
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work due to poor design of the inputline
user data.
Create a "menu_pre" function that creates the autorelease pool, change
menu_post() to release the pool correctly, and make the menu internal code
require and call menu_pre.
It's probably nowhere near right, but probably ok for now (I need to study
the GNUStep code). I'm unhappy with the menu code hook, but it will have
to do for now.
o never use stdscr: curses does not support overlapping windows. though
stdscr was used only for getting the screen size, this is not necessary as
the TIOCGWINSZ can be used instead.
o batch the prints generated by tab comletion to avoid frequent updates of
the screen. this seems to have fixed the corrupted output of the inputline
