A bridge (span or tower) must be splashed when it gets damaged below
SCT_MINEFF. Likewise when its last supporting sector (bridge head or
tower) gets damaged below SCT_MINEFF, unless EASY_BRIDGES is enabled.
We need to check this whenever a bridge head, span or tower gets
damaged. This is done in three places, and all of them screw up:
* checksect() ignores damage to bridge heads. It also leaves writing
back the sector it checks to the caller, which never happens when
it's called from sct_postread().
Note that checksect() drowns all planes on bridges it splashes.
Functions that need to exempt flying planes from such a fate have to
splash bridges themselves.
* sect_damage() ignores damage to bridge towers, and damage to bridge
spans unless EASY_BRIDGES is enabled. It then runs checksect(),
which compensates for these omissions, but happily drowns the planes
sect_damage() attempts to protect.
* eff_bomb() ignores damage to bridge heads. Collateral damage makes
sect_damage() run, which compensates for the omission.
This causes the following bugs:
* Efficiency damage going through sect_damage() can drown planes it
shouldn't. This affects pinpoint bombing when collateral damage
splashes a bridge, and strategic bombing. The drowned planes then
crash and burn when they attempt to land at their (just splashed)
base.
* Efficiency damage to bridge heads not going through sect_damage()
fails to collapse unsupported bridges. This affects pin-bombing
efficiency without collateral damage, and ground combat. Also deity
commands edit, setsector and add, but that could be regarded as a
feature.
* If the sector file somehow ends up with an inefficient bridge span,
it collapses on every read again and again, until it collapses on a
write. Related problems exist with other actions of checksect(),
and they're not addressed here.
* If the sector file somehow ends up with adjacent inefficient bridge
towers, checksect() on any of them recurses infinitely:
- checksect() inefficient tower T1
- knockdown() T1, but don't write that back to the sector file
- bridgefall() T1; this reads all adjacent sectors, including
inefficient towert T2
- checksect() T2
- knockdown() T2, but don't write that back to the sector file
- bridgefall() T1; this reads adjacent sectors including T1
- checksect() T1
...
This commit creates a new function bridge_damaged() to splash any
bridges that became inefficient or unsupported after damage to a
sector. To avoid the inifinite recursion, we call it in
sct_prewrite() instead of checksect().
No uses knockdown() outside bridgefall.c remain, so give it internal
linkage.
This feature was added in commit 70c03561bb but was
not added to the list of supported commands at the top
of file. No functional change just a documentation
correction.
Need to be in the empserver directory before applying
the "git apply" command, move the "cd empserver" to the
clone step. This change also fixes a bug when using
with an existing repository not being the correct
directory when executing the "git pull" command.
Fixes commit acd768e5e2 as it used git diff format.
The three previous commits touching path.c.in broke mingw.patch: the
relative vs absolute paths changes moved the initializers to be
patched to new variables, and the telfil removal messed up the
context.
Split ef_init() into two functions: empfile_init() for initialization,
and empfile_fixup() to fix it up for configuration. Put them next to
empfile[]. Move the call to empfile_init() from behind emp_config()
to before it.
Mil are not required for building units since 4.0.0. l_mil was still
initialized to l_item[I_MILIT], and used instead of that in a couple
of places. Fix those, and remove the initialization.
Windows code leaked memory (result of _fullpath()).
POSIX code passed a null buffer to getcwd(), which is not portable,
and failed to check for errors.
read_builtin_tables() wanted to run in builtindir, and
read_custom_tables() wanted to run in configdir. Bothersome. Use new
fopenat() to relax those requirements.
The chdir() satisfying them are now superflous, remove them.
File names in econfig need to be interpreted relative to configdir.
This wasn't the case everywhere for keys data and info.
Fix this by changing variables gamedir and infodir to hold absolute
names. Change builtindir likewise, for consistency. Store the values
from econfig in gamedir_conf, infodir_conf and builtindir_conf.
Uses new fnameat() to derive absolute names from possibly relative
ones.
Until now, they tried to recover and continue (debug off). That's
appropriate only for the server. The server could be told to abort
instead (debug on, selected by option -d), but not the utility
programs.
Change debug to be on by default, and switch it off early in the
server's main(). No functional change for the server.

Move stuff to untangle the ugly cyclic dependencies between the
archives built for selected subdirectories of src/lib/:
* Move common/io.c to empthread/ because it requires empthread stuff
* Move parts of subs/nstr.c to common/nstreval.c to satisfy
common/ef_verify.o
* Move getstarg.c getstring.c onearg.c from gen/ to subs/ because they
require stuff from there
* Move bridgefall.c check.c damage.c empobj.c journal.c maps.c
sectdamage.c from common/ to subs/ because they require stuff from
there
* Move cnumb.c from subs/ to common/ to satisfy common/type.o
* Move log.c fsize.c from common/ to gen/ because they really belong
there
* Move emp_config.c mapdist.c from gen/ to common/ because they really
belong there, and require stuff from libglobal.a
Also package as/ as libas.a to satisfy common/path.o.

The function that gave its name to this file is long gone, the file's
description is bogus, and it contains just one definition. Move that
to ../subs/border.c, and delete the file.
There are several files with land unit subroutines. This one is in an
awkward place: it depends on stuff from ../subs, which contributes to
libcommon.a's ugly dependencies. Move its contents to logical places
(use internal linkage where possible), and remove it.
Detect .git instead of CVS. Use git-ls-files with git, else
$(srcdir)/sources.mk. info/findsubj.pl now gets the info files as
arguments rather than from sources.mk.
Remaking info subjects doesn't quite work, but it was broken similarly
before.
version silently truncates long lines. The old one split them up and
got quite confused. It got also confused when the line didn't arrive
in one piece. Icing on the cake: it wrote beyond the end of the
buffer. The new version is less efficient, but that doesn't matter
here.
