-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!
