This should fix at least some instances of the "undefined
reference to `LLnc_recover'" error that happens in some
builds (https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/issues/218).
The bug was that genname( ) used a static `namebuf' buffer
and did not properly check for overflow when writing into
it. The result was that the `non_corr' variable was
sometimes overwritten with a non-zero value when it should
be zero, causing bogus results later.
This proposed patch makes genname( ) dynamically allocate
and resize a buffer for holding a target file name.
I also take this chance to fix a typo in correct_prefix().
Use C89 size_t for sizes from sizeof() or to malloc() or realloc().
Remove obsolete (unsigned) casts. Sizes were unsigned int in
traditional C but are size_t in C89.
Silence some clang warnings. Add the second pair of round brackets in
`while ((ff = ff->ff_next))` to silence -Wparentheses. Change
`if (nc_first(...))/*nothing*/;` to `(void)nc_first(...);` to silence
-Wempty-body. The code in compute.c nc_first() had the form
`if (x) if (y) s; else t;`. The old indentation (before 10717cc)
suggests that the "else" belongs to the 2nd "if", so add braces like
`if (x) { if (y) s; else t; }` to silence -Wdangling-else.
Shuffle extern function declarations. Add missing declaration for
LLparse(). Stop declaring RENAME(); it doesn't exist. Move some
declarations from main.c to extern.h, so the C compiler may check that
the declarations are compatible with the function definitions.
Assume that standard C89 remove() is available and doesn't need the
UNLINK() wrapper.
In lib/incl, don't need to include <stdio.h> nor <stdlib.h> to use
assert().
Remove alloc.h. If you don't clean your build, then an outdated
BUILDDIR/obj/util/LLgen/headers/alloc.h will survive but should not
cause harm, because nothing includes it. Don't need to remove alloc.h
from util/LLgen/distr.sh, because it isn't there.
Run the bootstrap to rebuild LLgen.c, Lpars.c, tokens.c.
The ACK builds an internal LLgen without installing it. The new
target would rebuild LLgen's own parser using the ACK's internal
LLgen. Keep bootstrap.sh, which uses an installed LLgen. The new
target is more convenient for those who build the ACK but don't build
and install a separate LLgen.
+ Addition of function prototypes and include files.
+ Change function definitions to ANSI C style.
- Remove support for generating K&R code.
- Remove mkstemp and replace by tmpnam (more portable but less safe)
In many systems, malloc() can allocate outside the brk area. The
calculation with sbrk() misses those allocations. When LLgen or ncgg
reported the memory usage, the value was probably too low.
*Important:* Do `make clean` to work around a problem and prevent
infinite rebuilds, https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/issues/68
I edit tokens.g in util/LLgen/src, so I regenerate tokens.c. The
regeneration script bootstrap.sh can't find LLgen, but I can run the
same command by typing the path to llgen.
directories --- wrangling descr files was too hard. C programs can be built
for cpm, pc86, linux386, linux68k!

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.
