So this is going to be tricky/painful getting this parser fully
operational. It's pretty hairy with various interdependencies and
generated code.
It's rather complicated how each sub dir depends on the previous one.
Also, the parser subdir has dependencies on the helptag subdir, and
vice-versa, so some hackery was needed to get that to work.
Due to the wierd interdepencencies between helptag and parser,
we disable parallel builds there.
This is some really horrible code and design - not surprising since it
dates to 1989.
I think it should just be removed -- who can maintain or refactor this
code?
Also, dthelp_htag1 is now built in pass1/parser/, not in
pass1/helptag/ as it used to be.
This patch fixes many warnings from the beginning of the build up to
and including the depend stage. Nearly all warnings should be gone
even with -Wall.
This is a non-POSIX/ISO-C header. It is ok to include this on Linux, but it
is obsolete on BSD; FreeBSD even throws an error if you include it with
__STDC__ defined. Every system should nowadays have malloc() defined in
stdlib.h.
Diff is largely mechanical, replacing malloc.h with stdlib.h where it is not
yet included anyway.
Patch from Ulrich Wilkens <mail@uwilkens.de>
I have a little patch for a problem that I found when I tried to
compile dthelp on 64bit FreeBSD. It could also be a problem on other
64bit systems. The problem is that the program context compiles but
fails running with segmentation fault.
context uses the function m_malloc() which is missing a correct
prototype sometimes. Then it's treated to return int instead of void *
. On 64bit systems this cuts off the higher 32 bits because void * is
64bit whereas int is only 32bit.
