newpath is a std::array and does not decay to char* automatically.
Use data() method to get char[], which does decay to char*.
This compile-time issue only affected Mac OS X.
Commit d879fc7f6b changed the type of `newpath` and updated all uses
in common code. A Windows-only block was skipped. Update that now.
Fixes: d879fc7f6b ("Convert file selection to use array<char, N>, not char[N]")
The highest-level tracking code assumed filenames would always fit in a
char[9]. This was true on DOS, but has not been true in Rebirth for
many years. Builds without fortification caused silent memory
corruption in this case.
Refuse to create highest-level entries if they would cause corruption.
Log a diagnostic telling the user that this happened.
This commit enables Rebirth to build with SDL2, but the result is not
perfect.
- SDL2 removed some sticky key support. Rebirth may behave differently
now in this area.
- SDL2 removed some key-repeat related support. Rebirth may behave
differently now in this area.
- SDL2 gained the ability to make a window fullscreen by sizing it to
the desktop instead of by changing the desktop resolution. Rebirth
uses this, and it mostly works.
- Resizing while in the automap does not notify the automap code, so
the view is wrong until the player switches out of automap mode and
back in.
- SDL2 changed how to enumerate available resolutions. Since
fitting the window to the desktop is generally more useful than
fitting the desktop to the window, I chose to drop support for
enumerating resolutions instead of porting to the new API. Users can
now enter an arbitrary window dimension and Rebirth will make an
attempt to use it.
- It might be useful to cap the window dimension at the desktop
dimension, but that is not done yet.
- Entering fullscreen mode through the Controls->Graphics submenu
failed to notify the relevant subsystems, causing the rendered
content not to rescale. For now, compile out the option to toggle
full screen through that menu. Toggling through Alt+Enter works
properly.
Despite these quirks, this is a substantial improvement over the prior
commit, where SDL2 cannot be used at all. The remaining issues can be
resolved in future work.

Rather than use an inline wrapper and rely on the compiler optimizer to
redirect gr_set_current_canvas(nullptr) to gr_set_default_canvas,
rewrite all relevant calls directly in the source.
git grep -l 'gr_set_current_canvas' | xargs sed -i -e 's:gr_set_current_canvas(\s*NULL\|nullptr\s*);:gr_set_default_canvas();:'
Commit f4b21088a0 ("Track vulcan ammo explicitly") fixed an original
retail bug that prevented the thief from stealing energy weapons,
because the thief could only steal weapons for which the player had ammo
and energy weapons never have ammo. This went unremarked for several
years, until a recent report of the new semantics as a game-breaking
regression because the thief is now "ridiculously potent".
Address this report, as well as an intermittently raised issue from
various users over time, by adding two new knobs to both the single
player "Gameplay" menu and the multiplayer setup screen: "Remove Thief
at level start" and "Prevent Thief Stealing Energy Weapons".
"Remove Thief" deletes the thief object during level load. It has no
impact on save games, and changing it after entering a level has no
effect on any thief already in the level.
"Prevent Thief Stealing" is checked at the moment of theft and, when
enabled, prevents stealing primary weapons other than Vulcan/Gauss.
This can be changed at will in single player and is immediately
effective. In multiplayer, this option can only be changed by the game
host in the pre-game setup.
For both knobs, there is one pair of checkboxes to control this as a
player preference, which applies in single player games. There is a
second pair of checkboxes in the multiplayer setup, which applies only
to multiplayer games. Therefore, in multiplayer, the host chooses thief
settings and all clients use the host's choice. The host may configure
the thief differently in multiplayer from how the host plays in single
player.
For users who wanted to remove the thief, no specific tally has been
kept for who requested it or when. Now that the code is being updated,
this is thrown in as an easy addition.

Revert to the user's chosen resolution, not to 0x0, which would then be
coerced to the minimum resolution. When the text says revert, it should
revert, not just pick a size.
Change the "OK" label to say "Revert to NxM" for the resolution it is
reverting to.
Tighten input validation so that a blank width or blank height produce
the correct error message, rather than being coerced to 0, then
rejecting 0 as too small.
Macro LINE_SPACING previously used global grd_curcanv implicitly.
Change it to take a canvas argument. Change all callers to pass
grd_curcanv, so that usage is explicit.
