parameter that controls whether or not certain characters in the
string are interpreted or not (things like tab being expanded).
Make __waddbytes a wrapper for _cursesi_waddbytes that passes all
parameters and sets the flag for character interpretation for backward
compatibility.
Fix an incipient bug in _cursesi_waddbytes where garbage would have
been written to the terminal if the terminal TABSIZE was set > 8 and
character interpretation is on.
Convert all internal __waddbytes calls to use _cursesi_waddbytes, fix
the function prototypes and add a new flag that will be used later.
Fix the addchstr family functions so that they call _cursesi_waddbytes
with character interpretation off as per SUSV2.
-call setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") before nl_langinfo(CODESET) if the
locale settings is (still) at "C" - otherwise the CODESET doesn't work
-fix the type of the WACS_* symbols -- this needs to be cchar_t*
-add safeguards where the return value of wcwidth() is used for
loop counters or indexing -- it can be -1
-use more common code in the widechar support case -- in particular
let the wchar functions do the work even if chtype ones were called
-implement wcursyncup/wsyncup/wsyncdown
-somewhat experimental: allow ACS_* variables to refer to WACS_*
table entries -- this way, programs using the old chtype using API
can use UTF8 line drawing on terminals which support UTF8 but not
ACS switching
-fix some logics bugs in UTF8 recognition and ALTCHARSET handling
term.h #defines lines, pad_char and no_color_video macros which conflict
with existing curses code. We change lines to alines and nlines depending
on use, pad_char to padchar and no_color_video becomes no_color_attributes
but with a strong alias from no_color_video.
Posix requires that adding '\n' does clrtoeol() and 'x = 0'.
(Making "\r\n" erase the text that has just been displayed.)
Remove __NONL test from addbytes, __NONL is a property of the output device.
(this is a requirement of SUSv2) - the old macro behaviour can be
restored by defining _CURSES_USE_MACROS.
Changed function prototypes to use ANSI style.
All externally visible functions now have ANSI style declarations.
of the SYSV curses facilities. The added features are the collapsing
of arrow and function keysequences (as defined by termcap for the
terminal) into symbolic code returns thus relieving the application of
recognising multi-character key sequences. Other features are the
capability to perform a timed wait for a key (good for when you are
not sure if there is a keypress ready or not) and the capability for
turning off the inter-key timeout when assembling multi-character
function keys.
this work was done by Julian Coleman <J.D.Coleman@newcastle.ac.uk>
and blymn@baea.com.au (Brett Lymn). i'm just integrating it. thanks
HEAPS guys!
Standard curses library use eight bit for standout mode, so
8-bit characters displays like highlighted 7-bit characters.
This patch produce library which is fully compatible with all curses
programs and add 8-bit chars to all input/display functions.
---
I don't think, that any programs wish to use internal curses
attribute _STANDOUT directly, in expressions like:
addch( ch | _STANDOUT );
Normal interface use standout() and standend() functions instead.
Many programs use 'char' type (with sign extention) for input characters
and sign extention becomes _STANDOUT mode in this case.
So, I refuse this future and allow 8-bit characters for programs,
which is designed for 7-bit only ('char' type using instead of
'unsigned char').

This small patch fix unpleasant standard curses bug:
curses can't expand TAB at all (but tries).
A man who wrote this curses misplace SYNC_IN and SYNCH_OUT,
this patch exchange macro calls.
This patch useful for standard 7-bit curses too, for this
you must delete '_' symbol before waddbytes and apply patch.
---
Oh, NO! This curses are really buggy!
This small patch fix following problem:
[ assumed scrollok(stdscr, TRUE) ]
when addch(ch) at lower right corner of screen, curses are realy
gone mad instead if simple scrolling... Curses code assumed that
this will be done correctly, but implement it with two bugs.
