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.
compiler flag, which is used to set the name of the patch table. The compiler
now understands C preprocessor line directives. Extend the standard library
somewhat.
standard library, because they never worked and come from an achingly old
version of the Pascal specification. Fix the implementations of New() and
Dispose() to use the standard C memory allocator rather than rolling their own
(also in C). Write test!
This undoes part of bfeb736, and returns to using DBL_MAX_EXP and
DBL_MIN_EXP from float.h.
Add a dependency on math/localmath.h and other local header files so
libc is rebuilt when those headers change.
This restores the correct values of DBL_MAX, DBL_MIN_EXP, and related
constants. This fixes some range checks within libc, causing
atof("-36e90") and atof("1.44e-288") to return the correct values.
