that none of it persists for long.
This isn't always true - for example a long running .for loop.
Buf_DestroyCompact() is used by Var_Subst(), rather than Buf_Destroy().
If it looks like we can save BUF_COMPACT_LIMIT (128) or more bytes,
call realloc. This can reduce memory consumption by about 20%
Setting BUF_COMPACT_LIMIT to 0 dissables this.
Saves having to malloc/free a fixed size structure.
Buf_Init() now takes ptr to Buffer to initialiase.
Change Buf_Destroy() to return ptr to string when not freed.
Remove large number of casts to (Byte) and (Byte *) - 'Byte' is 'char' here.
Buf_AddByte[s] guarantees that the data is 0 termininated, so never add '\0'.
Keep 'count' not 'left' and 'inPtr', code is simplier with only one update.
Fix fallou, no functional change.
Replace Buf_Discard() with Buf_Empty() since the former might leave the
'outPtr != buffer' and the only caller wanted all the data discared.
Remove 'outPtr' now that it always equals 'buffer'.
The assumption about Buf_GetAll()is now guaranteed by design.
bmake_malloc and friends. Implement them via macros for the native case
and provide fallback implementations otherwise. Avoid polluting the
namespace by not defining enomem globally. Don't bother to provide
strdup and strndup, they were only used for the estrdup and estrndup
comapt code.
This addresses the presence of emalloc in system libraries on A/UX and
resulted strange issues as reported by Timothy E. Larson.
Instead of adding MAKE_BOOTSTRAP for hosted environments, i.e., when
you want things simple, instead add MAKE_NATIVE to get those hugely
important features like __RCSID().
It's now possible to build make on some hosts with: cc *.c */*.c
