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, ...
match.h. Use plain char instead of s_char. The code has several
thousand type errors due to s_char vs plain char; s_char must go.
(stmtch): Rewrite for clarity.
between headers. Code is now fully prototyped and compiles cleanly
with gcc -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs
-Wredundant-decls. Closes#723788.
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.
(io_select, io_flush, io_iopfromfd): Unused, remove.
(io_open): Allow more than one open for the same file descriptor.
The check is the last remaining use of io_list[], and it's
unimportant.
(io_list, niop, io_init): io_list[] no longer serves any purpose,
remove. Sparse allocation of file descriptors (deplorable misfeature
of Winsock, at least some versions) is no longer a problem.
(getfdtablesize): Unused, remove. Was broken for Windows anyway.
match info as well as related commands `sstat' and `pstat'. Rename
lstats() to lsta() to uphold the convention that functions
implementing commands are named like the command or its four character
prefix. Closes#804587.
