same as the old one. This prevents excessive redraws in some
applications.
* Fix bug introduced when wbkgrndset was fixed, we cannot blindly
replace any instance of the old background character with the new one
because some of those characters were put there by the application
leading to display corruption. So flag characters as background when
they are erased and only update the flagged characters when setting
the background.
* Remove the WCOL family of macros, these were "stealing" the upper bits
of a character attribute to store the column width of a character. No
warning was given about this in curses.h which meant it was easy to
accidentally reuse the bits in use by the WCOL macros (we already did).
Add couple of 16bit ints to the character structure iff HAVE_WCHAR is
true to hold the display width and wide char related flags (just
continuation at the moment)
* Convert all instances of WCOL macros to just reference the column width
in the char structure so it is not obfuscated.
* Fix cursor positioning so placing a cursor in the middle of a wide char
actually does just that.
* Fix plod so it understands that if the cursor is going to be positioned
in the middle of a wide char it cannot just reprint the char to get there.
* Fix plodput so it correctly counts the number of output characters for
wide characters.
* Fix slk routines to properly size the wctomb() buffer.
-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.
* Added code to __restartwin to restore meta and cursor visibility states
* Added code to __stopwin to disable meta.
* Added the *line group of functions for drawing character lines.
(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.
