Code dealing with money mixes int and long pretty haphazardly.
Harmless, because practical amounts of money fit into int on any
machine capable of running the server. Clean up anyway.
Code dealing with reserves mixes int and long pretty haphazardly.
Harmless, because practical reserves fit easily on any machine capable
of running the server. Clean up anyway.
Code dealing with counting people mixes int and long pretty
haphazardly. Harmless, because practical populations fit into int
easily on any machine capable of running the server. Clean up anyway.
Why upgrade? I'm not a lawyer, but here's my take on the differences
to version 2:
* Software patents: better protection against abuse of patents to
prevent users from exercising the rights under the GPL. I doubt
we'll get hit with a patent suit, but it's a good move just on
general principles.
* License compatibility: compatible with more free licenses, i.e. can
"steal" more free software for use in Empire. I don't expect to steal
much, but it's nice to have the option.
* Definition of "source code": modernization of some details for today's
networked world, to make it easier to distribute the software. Not
really relevant to us now, as we normally distribute full source code.
* Tivoization: this is about putting GPL-licensed software in hardware,
then make the hardware refuse to run modified software. "Neat" trick
to effectively deny its users their rights under the GPL. Abuse was
"pioneered" by TiVo (popular digital video recorders). GPLv3 forbids
it. Unlikely to become a problem for us.
* Internationalization: more careful wording, to harden the license
outside the US. The lawyers tell us it better be done that way.
* License violations: friendlier way to deal with license violations.
This has come out of past experience enforcing the GPL.
* Additional permissions: Probably not relevant to us.

Replace the fixed $1 per ETU maintenance for capital/city sectors that
are at least 60% efficient by a configurable maintenance cost, payable
regardless of efficiency. The only change in the default
configuration is that inefficient capitals now pay maintenance.
Charging sector maintenance regardless of efficiency is consistent
with unit maintenance.
New struct dchrstr member d_maint and sector-chr selector maint. Make
show_sect_build() show it. Change produce_sect() to record
maintenance in new slot p_sect[SCT_MAINT] instead of abusing
p_sect[SCT_CAPIT]. Replace the "Capital maintenance" line in budget
by "Sector maintenance".
type. Make it abstract because that's possible. Change data layout
so that the slots belonging to a sector are together in memory, it's
nicer to the cache.
(bp): The new type. Users changed.
(get_wp): Update accordingly.
(alloc_bp): New.
(update_main, calc_all): Use it. Before, calc_all() allocated 1/7
more than necessary.
other. Ensure headers in include/ can be included in any order
(except for econfig-spec.h, which is special). New header types.h to
help avoid inclusion cycles. Sort include directives. Remove some
superflous includes.
missing bits:
(budg, calc_all, update_main): Use SCT_TYPE_MAX instead of SCT_MAXDEF
to size tables.
(map_char): Update sanity check; use CANT_HAPPEN().
(show_sect_build, show_sect_stats, show_sect_capab): Use the sentinel
instead of SCT_MAXDEF.
plus one. Users changed. This indirectly fixes off-by-one loop
bounds in budg(), show_sect_build(), show_sect_stats() and
show_sect_capab(). The show bugs were harmless: the loops ran into
the sentinel, which they ignore. The budg bug was serious: the loop
ran into the entries for SCT_EFFIC. This lead to a bogus line in the
budget, printing of a null pointer, and doubled sector build cost.
Budget priorities masked this bug until rev. 1.25.
priorities (rev. 1.25), calc_all() tried to match the real sequence,
but didn't quire succeed to cope with all variations. Then it matched
until the update sequence change in src/lib/update/main.c rev. 1.25.
This is required but not sufficient for closing #1310407.
(P_LCM, P_HCM, P_TLEV, P_RLEV, P_ELEV, P_HLEV, P_URAN): Use -1 instead
of 0 for `no product', shift down product indexes and update
product.config and sector.config accordingly.
(budg, prod, show_sect_capab, produce, produce_sect): Adapt test for
no product.
(ef_elt_byname): Remove the hack to hide pchr[0].
(prod_eff): Oops on no product.
actually be paid in full didn't take the update sequence into account,
and wasn't implemented for sector building, military payroll and
capital maintenance. Remove the feature, as fixing is hardly worth
the trouble. This renders prexpense() trivial; inline and remove.
(prxy, border, ac_encounter, look, budg): Fix misuse of pr() and PR():
passed formatted string instead of format string and arguments.
Correctness depends on argument values and tables not containing '%',
which is correct, but fragile.
caller had to zero some. Caller changed.
(goodsect): Remove; use sct_typematch() instead.
(change_prio): New.
(budg): Use it to replace ugly and confusing priority change code.
(budg): Use prexpense() for industries as well. Fixes cost output
alignment bug.
(budg): Use splur() & friends.
PRI_LBUILD): Turn macros into enumeration constants. Value
SCT_MAXDEF+1 was previously unused; use it.
(PRI_MAX): New; replacing the horrible SCT_MAXDEF+8.
(show_sect_build): Simply examine all sector types, don't skip the
first five. The code ignores them just fine.
(show_sect_build, show_sect_stats, show_sect_capab): Don't try to show
sector types beyond SCT_MAXDEF. The table has some empty extra slots,
for whatever reasons; no use examining them.

Type modifier 'l' was missing in many places, probably rendering the
server useless on 64-bit hosts.
(ef_flush, ef_write, ef_extend, lwpCreate, lwpDestroy): Use conversion
specifier 'p' to print pointers.
(check_market): Fix display of loan amount.
(doland): Fix unescaped '%' (undefined behavior).
(ldump, ndump, pdump, sdump): Don't use flag '0' with conversion
specifier 's' (undefined behavior).
(dump, ldump, lost, ndump, pdump, sdump, empth_create, update_sched):
Cast time_t and pthread_t to long for printing.
(lwpStackCheck, lwpStackCheckUsed, finish_sects): Insert cast to fix
argument type on all platforms.
(prod): Remove extra argument.
(perform_mission, airdamage, retreat_land1, lwpReschedule): Format
string missed arguments.
thread entrypoints:
(lwpSelect, shutdown_sequence): Parameters didn't match thread entry
point prototype.
(lwpEntryPoint): Arguments didn't match thread entry point prototype.
Change linkage of functions without prototype declaration to static
where possible.
Remove some superflous declarations, replace others by suitable
includes.
