Converting all function definitions to ANSI style accounts for most of
the change. This has exposed other problems, such as daemons not
actually being their stated type, that will require more careful
solutions.
The MSVC library uses a debug assertion to prevent closing file
descriptors that are negative. This is always the case with the
scoreboard file descriptor if the scoreboard has been compiled out.
The player name is stored in whoami[], which is length 80 in most games
(1024 in rogue5). Only the first 10 chars were used to create
file_name, because that buffer is the same length. Increasing the size
of file_name to 256 permits using all of whoami.
The name is also no longer truncated to 20 chars when writing the log.
All games should now be able to handle 79-character names without
collisions. Anything more would break save compatibility.
The save_file() function in save.c stored the savefile's device number,
inode number, creation time, and modification time in the file. The
restore() function read them back, and apparently used to compare them
to protect against cheaters.
Unfortunately, the types and sizes of these numbers differ from system
to system, which ruins the Roguelike Restoration Project's fine
portability work. So they have been removed from the savefile.
This BREAKS SAVEFILE COMPATIBILITY, but old files can be converted by
excising the chunk starting at offset 0x22 with length sizeof(ino_t) +
sizeof(dev_t) + 2 * sizeof(time_t). That's 0x14 on i686 and 0x20 on
x86_64, at least with current versions of Linux and glibc.
