In exported archives, the commit will be
`archive-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx` for some hexadecimal
characters `x`. `-` is not valid in a C identifier, but the commit
needs to be a valid C identifier. Change `-` to `_` so that it will be
valid.

Python 2 byte sequences look best when not decoded. Python 3 byte
sequences look best when decoded. As Python 2 is near end of life and
most distributions have moved on to Python 3, switch to the style that
looks better in Python 3. The code still runs in Python 2, but produces
a u'' wrapper around the text because the type is `unicode` in Python 2,
but `str` in Python 3. This change eliminates the b'' wrapper around
the text in Python 3.
Extended identifiers have proved to cause more problems than they solve.
Switch to base32 which, while less commonly supported, is available in
Python and uses an alphabet that is almost a subset of the C identifier
alphabet. Padding characters are still a problem, but can be remapped
to a valid C identifier that is not a valid base32 character.
Rebirth handles this as best it can, but some prerequisites print paths
without quoting. Advise users to avoid the problem by avoiding paths
with embedded spaces.
endlevel wants to freeze the console player's last in-mine position.
Instead of copying the position out and back, refactor the flow to let
endlevel skip the update of the position.
Only the console player's last position needs to be remembered across
frames. Copy the console player's position out before processsing
object movement. For all other objects, retain a temporary for use by
the position recovery code.
Special macros are used to pass information to
`generate-kconfig-udlr.py`. Provide default definitions for these
macros in `kconfig.ui-table.cpp`, and override them in the one build
where they need to be special. This enables `kconfig.ui-table.cpp` to
build cleanly when invoked from the command line in the compilation
database.
Various functions need to access both `shared_segment` and
`unique_segment` data. Using `segment &` for this blocks eliminating
the `segment` type. Add `susegment` and type aliases to it.
`susegment` records a reference to a `shared_segment` and a
`unique_segment` together, so that users cannot accidentally mismatch
`shared_segment` #1 with `unique_segment` #2 when passing references
down to a function which needs both `shared_segment` and
`unique_segment`.
Inserting the compile command for vers_id.cpp into a compilation
database does not quote a string with embedded whitespace, although this
string is correctly quoted when used to invoke a shell. Remove
whitespace from the character whitelist, so that it is always escaped.
gcc considers strong_typedef to be POD both with and without the
explicit default. clang considers it to be POD only if the constructor
is explicitly defaulted.
For correctness, valptridx::ptridx instances must not be sliced down to
their component ::ptr or ::idx base classes. Previously, this was done
with a dummy template parameter to ensure that a bare ::idx had a
different type than the idx base of a ::ptridx. This extra distinction
complicates analysis of the code, and is not needed when the code is
already correct. Add the ability to build without slice checking.
obj_rw is a packed structure, so configurations where reset_hitobj takes
its parameter by reference (or where its parameter requires passing
through a constructor that takes its input by reference) fail because
gcc refuses to bind a reference to a member of a packed structure. Copy
the member variable into a local, which gcc will bind.
In some configurations, gcc (but not clang) instantiate
valptridx<segment>::array_managed_type too eagerly, then fail if the
sizeof(segment) is unknown. Include segment.h so that the size is
available.
Fix a bug where the ptridx converting move constructor delegated to the
ptr converting copy constructor, since the ptr copy constructor had
filename/line arguments, the ptr move constructor did not, and the
ptridx move constructor always passed filename/line.
- Recommend Python 3. Python2 will be end of life soon.
- Recommend PhysFS 3.
- Update link for SCons to current version.
-- Remove the obsolete note disclaiming Python3 support.
- Remove the obsolete note disclaiming SDL2 support. SDL2 works well
now.
- Recommend libpng, since SConstruct will try to use it in the default
configuration.
- Note the presence of Linux packaging files for Arch, RPM systems, and
Gentoo.

Historically, Descent ignored any trailing unconverted characters. The
logic in Descent 1 was tightened in 3368390f37, and then the logic in
Descent 2 was made to mirror Descent 1 in 19699037ce. Restore the lax
parsing logic in both games.

In Descent 2, `type` is initialized at declaration time, then never
rewritten. At the end of the function, `Error` is called if `type` has
not been rewritten. Originally, `type` was hard reset to
`OL_CONTROL_CENTER`, but this reinitialization was removed when
`ObjType` and related data were removed from Descent 2.

Difficulty_level_type is used in arithmetic expressions. If
Difficulty_level_type is unsigned, then those expressions use unsigned
terms, but some of the expressions were designed to use signed terms and
produce incorrect results when used with unsigned terms. There is no
strong reason to make Difficulty_level_type unsigned, so switch it to
signed instead of trying to fix every site that uses it.

Mission sorting is handled in a top-level function after the missions
have been found, so that the special case to promote built-in missions
is only applied at the top level. Unfortunately, this meant that
subdirectories were not sorted. Add an explicit sort in a path specific
to subdirectory handling.
