The new function md_random_seed() has replaced time() + getpid() and
similar methods. Putting everything in mdport.c slightly reduces the
warnings and workarounds.
fuse() now expects a pointer as the argument to a fuse function. If
this is one of the functions that takes int, fuse() follows the pointer
and stores that value in the f_list slot, in the integer field of the
argument union. When the fuse goes off, do_fuses() recognizes the
function and passes it the integer field instead of the pointer.
This has the disadvantage of hard-coding the functions that require int
in daemon.c, but since the int is copied into f_list, it no longer has
to be in static or global memory, which simplifies several files.
Functions for starting and stopping daemons and fuses now expect the
type 'void (*func)()'. Only a few functions in XRogue needed to be
modified to fit. Determining the type of the argument is left for a
later date.
Building with GCC5 should now produce less than 200 lines of warnings
per game.
Almost 1500 lines of compiler warnings remain, and the GCC developers
are already working on a new version with even more warnings turned on
by default.
File locations can be customized via './configure'. 'make install'
does not work yet. Options for wizard mode and load checks may not do
what is intended.
Fun fact: there's an enlightening epigraph in the introduction to the
autoconf manual.
