Read-only was a bit of a misnomer: you could write to the table by
obtaining a pointer into it from ef_ptr(), you just couldn't write to
the backing file.
Semantic changes:
* ef_flush() is now allowed when the table is file-backed or privately
mapped. Before, it had to be file-backed. Flushing a privately
mapped table does nothing, just like flushing a read-only table did.
* ef_write() is now allowed when the table is file-backed or fully
cached. Before, it had to be file-backed and not read-only.
Writing to a privately mapped file-backed table doesn't write to the
file.
* ef_extend() is not implemented for privately mapped tables, just
like it wasn't implemented for read-only tables.
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.
(gamestr, EF_GAME, game_ca): New.
(empfile): Declare the table.
(ef_open_srv, ef_close_srv): Open and close it.
(main): Create it.
(empobj_storage): New member game.
(EF_DYNMAX): New.
(EF_IS_GAME_STATE): Use it.
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.
oprange, show_mission, nameofitem, build_mission_list_type,
unit_map, xdvisible, trdswitchown, ontradingblock, trad, check_trade,
unit_type_name, start_stop_unit, scut, scra, mission, multifire,
perform_mission, fuel, NSC_GENITEM): Replace struct genitem with
struct empobj. Remove genitem.h and create a new file empobj.h.
Replace multiple instances of unions of ef_type structures with
one standard union empobj_storage which is a superset of the individual
instances.
files item.config, product.config, sect.config, infra.config.
(empfile): Declare the new config files. Reorder table entries so
that read_builtin_tables() reads the config files in the right order.
(bigcity_dchr, opt_BIG_CITY, init_dchr): Remove. Deities can edit
sect.config instead.
(ef_elt_byname): New.
(nstr_match_val): Use it to generalize to arbitrary table with
uniquely named elements. Use ca_type to find table, remove parameter
type. Callers changed.
(nstr_mkselval): Adapt sanity check accordingly.
(NSC_TYPEID): No longer needed, remove, users changed to use
appropriate integer type instead. This fixes signedness of sector
selectors des and newdes.
(meta_type): Remove entry for NSC_TYPEID.
(nstr_coerce_val): Can't detect typeid - integer mismatch anymore.
Was nice to have; perhaps revive it later.
(config_tables): New econfig key.
(read_config_tables): New, implements config_tables.
(main): Call it. Need to call ef_init() and chdir(configdir) first.
(ef_init_srv): Don't call ef_init(), since main() did it already.
Remove old way to do the same:
(ef_load): Remove, along with calls.
(empfile): Set configuration tables' member file back to NULL.
(sect_ca, ship_ca, land_ca, plague_stages, empfile):
Add plague stages symbol table.
(treaty_ca, loan_ca, agreement_statuses, empfile):
Add agreement status symbol table.
Combine treatystatuses (TS_FREE, TS_SIGNED and TS_PENDING)
and loan statuses (LS_FREE, LS_SIGNED and LS_PENDING)
into a single agreement status.
(pchr_ca, level, empfile): Add packing symbol table.
(retreat_flags, ship_ca, land_ca, plane_ca): Add retreat flags table.
(nation_flags, nation_relations, nat_ca): Add nation flags and
nation relations tables.
(empfile_ca): Remove flags and file name fields.
They are internal and not needed by the client.
members.
(empfile): Reorder members for clearer documentation.
(EFF_IMMUTABLE): New.
(EFF_OPEN): Remove, use ~EFF_IMMUTABLE.
(empfile): Don't initialize member size to a useless value for EF_MAP
and EF_BMAP. ef_init() writes the real value.
(xdump, main): Use it.
(EF_MAX): Change to largest table ID + 1. This is now possible
because the changes above get rid of the assumption that
empfile[0..EF_MAX-1] is only game state. Code can now work on any
table using the advertized empfile interface, not just on game state.
(my_ef_byname): Remove, use ef_byname().
(set, mission, multifire, fuel, cons_choose, cede): Use it instead of
ef_byname(). Remove the hacks to map unwanted results to wanted
results. The hacks in set() were broken: bad input made the code cast
arbitrary items to union trdgenstr, with potentially disastrous
consequences. Closes#906483 and #906486.
(set): Less cryptic prompt and diagnostics.
(really open flags, not mode) by new flags EFF_RDONLY, EFF_CREATE.
Open flags were needlessly general. Callers changed.
(empfile): Member mode now unused, remove.
silly EF_NMAP. Use characters instead: 'b' for bmap (was EF_BMAP),
't' for true bmap (was EF_MAP), 'r' for revert (was EF_MAP+EF_BMAP,
more sillness), and 'n' for nmap (was EF_NMAP). Callers changed.
(EF_NMAP): Remove.
