This removes the toskip parameter, which was only used by the RISC OS
front end. The toskip param was used to skip 8 characters which did
not need to be escaped from the start of the URL. The RISC OS front
end now orders the steps of its URL construction to avoid the need
for this.
The avoids situations were we threw away the length, only for
the caller to have to strlen the returned string.
Note, there seems to be a case of the amiga front end writing
beyond end of allocation. Added a TODO for now.
change all the frontends to provide the warning callback in the
miscelaneous table instead of using the warn_user function.
Changing all the warn_user callsites still requires completion.
The config header was causing many source files to unecessarily
include the dirent headers causing extra dependancies. This has been
fixed by providing a utility dirent header that provides a common API
across all platforms while removing the unecessary dirent header usage.
The utils header is a large collection of functionality for several
system headers and API. This splits out the ones from sys/time.h into
a separate header reducing the need for many unconnected source files
to include the system header unecessarily.
The utility configuration header dragged in a number of bsd sockets
and related API as a side effect of setting up the configuration. By
splitting the header and API setup into a separate header only the
small number of places that need the functionality explitly include
it.
currently NetSurf uses curl_getdate to convert textural date and time
strings into seconds since epoch. It is betetr to move this
functionality to a utility function so curl_getdate can easily be
replaced if required.
The printf formatting for size_t is set in c99 as %zu but in windows
it is %Iu this is solved by adding and inttypes style PRI macro for size_t
This also uses this macro everywhere size_t is formatted.
This may help with whatever issue is causing a problem with RISC OS
!Boot and !System distributions.
From the base of the netsurf repo, you can run it like this:
$ ./utils/git-date.sh riscos/distribution/
