New snxtitem_cargo() initializes an iterator for a cargo list, with
new enum ns_seltype member NS_GROUP and new struct nstr_item member
next. Extend nxtitem() and nxtitemp() to step through the list.
Members read were always set to ef_read, remove and call directly.
Member flag was only assigned to, never used, remove.
Change member group to char to match struct empobj.
The old code used getstarg() to get an argument with a different
prompt than snxtitem() uses, then passed the value to snxtitem()
unchecked. If the player aborts, getstarg() returns a null pointer,
and snxtitem() prompts again. Affected:
* load/lload plane/land third argument; load_plane_ship(),
load_land_ship(), load_plane_land(), load_land_land()
* bomb, drop, fly, paradrop, recon and sweep second argument;
get_planes()
* tend and ltend second and fourth argument; ltend(), tend(),
tend_land()
* mission second argument; mission()
Fix by making snxtitem() taking a prompt argument, null pointer
requests the old prompt.
Use that to simplify multifire() and torp(). Change the other callers
to pass NULL.
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.
type error not reflected in C. The former is a selection type, the
latter is a file type. Harmless, as the variable is overwritten on
all paths to successful return.
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.
