POSIX mandates implementations must support upto a short but may exceed it.
When NetBSD terminfo was implemented, no terminfo description used over
a short, but because ncurses has supported ints for some time, some now do.
Infact, such a terminfo description was imported where colour pairs for
screen-256color went up to 65536 which exposed a bug in the existing
implementation where it set to zero. Because the number might mean
something more than a range, we need to be able to store it accurately.
This requires a version bump because whilst the API hasn't changed thanks
to C int promotion, the ABI has. Also the underlying database structure
has changed as well - we now store the numeric paramter inside a uint32_t
field rather than a uint16_t one.
Whilst this change can still read the old style database, the old one
cannot read the new one and thus we now maintain the database as
terminfo2.cdb, leaving the old library and database alone so old programs
still work fine.
libcurses, libfrom, libmenu and libpanel have also been bumped to
accomoate this change.
when files may have hard links to a a name that only differs by case
- change install to unconditionally remove its temporary file
when installing hard links with -r. This avoids problems when
built with posix rename(2) semantics and reinstalling an existing
hard link.
- rework hard link targets in bsd.man.mk and bsd.links.mk
to use makefile constructs instead of shell constructs
- always reinstall hard links that may have case conflicts, even
when MKUPDATE=yes, this ensures that they get added to METALOG
- remove man pages which were hard linked to themselves in libform
- remove improper hard link command for existing man page in libkrb5
- fix libl's makefile to include bsd.lib.mk at end
- remove shell quoting in link target for test's [.1 man page
where a newly opened line would immediately get wrapped out of existence.
The old method of handling lines in a multiline field did not cope with
this elegantly.
* Added new field flag O_REFORMAT which, when set, returns the field
buffer with newlines inserted where the line wrapped. Previously, there
was no way of preserving the on screen format of a multiline field.
* Added new file gdbinit which contains a macro to verify and print
the multiline field line data structure.
* Bumped libform major number due to changes in the _form_field structure.
Change isspace(*char_ptr) to isspace(*char_ptr & 0xff) so that the correct
piece of memory is looked at for the bit mask.
gcc optimises out the '& 0xff' (on i386 at least).
Fixes problems found by gcc when the splurious (int) cast is removed
from the #defines in ctype.h
