* Fixing of potential crash issue with function tables in compiler.
+ SYSTEM.h is now renamed to SYSTEMM2.h to avoid conflicts on non case sensitive filesystems.
em libmon vanished decades ago (or never existed), and also ass appears to have
a different idea of what the em opcodes are to everything else and gets
confused.
aprintf() returns a const char *; the assignment to char * caused both
clang and gcc to warn of the dropped const.
Commit 893471a introduced a tiny memory leak, because GetFile()
stopped freeing buf. The const return type of aprintf() suggests that
the buffer must not be freed.
Now use Malloc() to allocate the buffer and free() to free it. This
also checks if we are out of memory, because Malloc() does the check
and aprintf() currently doesn't.
This prevents an overflow reported by @hexcoder- in
https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/issues/56
lang/cem/cpp.ansi/LLlex.c used a plain 1 << ... and caused an overflow
on machines where sizeof(int) < sizeof(long). Using 1L << ... would
work for now but might fail later if arith became long long.
C doesn't specify whether negative integers use 2's complement or some
other format. Therefore, (arith) 1 << ... has an undefined value. It
should still work because the value is some integer where the sign bit
is set and all other bits are clear.
(unsigned arith) 1 << ... would also get the sign bit, but casting it
from unsigned back to signed would make the same undefined value.
(arith) -1 << ... would assume 2's complement.

This doesn't change DIV. Right now a DIV b does floor division and
a MOD b has the sign of b. This is the same as Lua, Python, Ruby,
Tcl; but is different from other Modula-2 implementations.
Traditional C compilers had long but not unsigned long. I now assume
that everyone can compile unsigned long. Remove macro UNSIGNED_ARITH
and act like it is always defined. The type `unsigned arith` works
because arith is a macro for long.
This commit slightly improves the formatting of the manuals. My
OpenBSD machine uses mandoc(1) to format manuals. I check the manuals
with `mandoc -T lint` and fix most of the warnings. I also make
other changes where mandoc didn't warn me.
roff(7) says, "Each sentence should terminate at the end of an input
line," but we often forgot this rule. I insert some newlines after
sentences that had ended mid-line.
roff(7) also says that blank lines "are only permitted within literal
contexts." I delete blank lines. This removes some extra blank lines
from mandoc's output. If I do want a blank line in the output, I call
".sp 1" to make it in man(7). If I want a blank line in the source,
but not the output, I put a plain dot "." so roff ignores it.
Hyphens used for command-line options, like \-a, should be escaped by
a backslash. I insert a few missing backslashes.
mandoc warns if the date in .TH doesn't look like a date. Our manuals
had a missing date or the RCS keyword "$Revision$". Git doesn't
expand RCS keywords. I put in today's date, 2017-01-18.
Some manuals used tab characters in filled mode. That doesn't work.
I use .nf to turn off filled mode, or I use .IP in man(7) to make the
indentation without a tab character.
ack(1) defined a macro .SB but never used it, so I delete the
definition. I also remove a call to the missing macro .RF.
mandoc warns about empty paragraphs. I deleted them. mandoc also
warned about these macro pairs in anm(1):
.SM
.B text
The .SM did nothing because the .B text is on a different line. I
changed each pair to .SB for small bold text.
I make a few other small changes.
These files "magically reappeared" after the conversion from CVS to
Mercurial. The old CVS repository deleted these files but did not
record *when* it deleted these files. The conversion resurrected these
files because they have no history of deletion. These files were
probably deleted before year 1995. The CVS repository begins to record
deletions around 1995.
These files may still appear in older revisions of this Mercurial
repository, when they should already be deleted. There is no way to fix
this, because the CVS repository provides no dates of deletion.
