- Modify the writing code to only write entries in the new
format for the terminal descriptions that require it.
- Store new format entries as <name>@v3
- Store old format entries with clamped values as <name> for
backwards compatibility
- Lookup first <name>@v3 and then <name> if that is not found.
- Don't create terminfo2 anymore; old programs keep working with
clamped entries, and new programs be able to use the wide
fields with using the original db file.
While here also document (but comment it out since it isn't
available - yet) strerror_lr(). To include that, simply
uncomment the relevant lines, and (twice I think) s/returns/return/
on lines just after currently commented out lines (that is, it
currently says, "A returns" after the comments are returned, we
need it to be "A and B return" - the "and B" appears when the comment
markers are removed, removing the 's' from returns must be done manually.
In addition to adding strerror_l() some additional enhancements were
made to the general strerror() doc.
No mouse support actually included.
But that doesn't matter because most terms don't actually support a mouse.
We should look into hooking these into wsmouse(4) and xterm mouse
in the future.
Compatable with nCurses mouse API version 2.
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.
t_ptrace_sigchld - for SIGCHLD handler + ptrace(2).
Right now a single test is enabled (raise(SIGKILL)) and marked as failed
as it never finishes as the child is never collected before exiting the
parent uninterested about its child (SA_NOCLDWAIT).
Some tools that use libhack expect thread locking.
An example of this is zpool(8).
Without it, it randomly crashes. As such, force _REENTRANT to avoid
debugging future random crashes from any other applications which
rely on this.
