offset and index. This is for the new dumps; conditions can't use it,
yet.
(nstr_comp_val): Zero index.
(nstr_exec_val): Implement index.
(nstr_exec_val): Simplify coercion to WANT.
type literals, unless type inference rejects the selector. This
doesn't work for NSC_TYPE selectors: `?des=n' is interpreted as
`?des=newdes'. Prefer type literal to NSC_TYPE selector. Closes
#982021.
according to context, to make `lstat * ?type#spy&spy>1' work. Closes
bug#825363, #905809, #905814 and #922968.
(nsc_type, packed_nsc_type, nsc_cat, packed_nsc_cat, nsc_flags): New.
(valstr): New. Old code encoded values in type long, which was
somewhat hard to read and could only support signed integer values.
(nscstr): Redesign. Use valstr. Typed operator.
(castr): Split ca_code into ca_type, ca_flags, ca_off. Tables
changed.
(nstr_comp, nstr_exec): Redesign and rewrite. Callers changed. They
used the old design incorrectly, which let players smash the stack
by supplying more than NCOND conditions.
(encode, nstr_comp_val, decode, nstr_exec_val): Rename, redesign, and
rewrite. Callers changed.
(nstr_coerce_val): New.
(var_ca, sect_ca, ship_ca, land_ca): Checking both var_ca[] and the
object's ca complicates proper recognition of unique abbreviations.
Copy contents of var_ca[] into the ca of objects, remove var_ca[].
(surv): Reject values with category other than NSC_OFF and types that
can't be coerced to NSC_LONG. Old code happily passed values with
category NSC_VAL to code_char(). The previous version interpreted
them correctly, but earlier versions interpreted them as NSC_OFF, then
logged `bad type in decode: 0' and evaluated them into zero.
(code_char): Used to test category NSC_VAR to decide whether to
display tens or hundreds. NSC_VAR no longer exists. Test type
instead. Makes more sense anyway.
them. From Marc Olzheim.
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.
To save space, the ancients invented `variables': a collection of
key-value pairs, missing means zero value, space for `enough' keys.
This complicates the code, as assigning to a `variable' can fail for
lack of space. Over time, `enough' increased, and for quite some time
now `variables' have been *wasting* space. This changeset replaces
them, except in struct mchrstr, struct lchrstr and struct pchrstr,
where they are read-only, and will be replaced later. It is only a
first step; further cleanup is required. To simplify and minimize
this necessarily huge changeset, the new item[] arrays have an unused
slot 0, and the old variable types V_CIVIL, ... are still defined, but
must have the same values as the item types I_CIVIL, ...
loan_ca, news_ca, lost_ca, commodity_ca, trade_ca, nat_ca, map_ca):
NSC_OFF was lost during Empire3, rendering the codes confusing and
harder to use. Tack it back on.
(encode, code_char): No need to fool around with NSC_OFF anymore.
