According to the spec, blank lines in message catalogs or lines
beginning with '$ ' are valid comments.
However, there were many cases where lines in the message catalogs
contained just a single '$', without the required space after it.
Under linux, this caused 126766 error lines (in my builds) of the
form:
... unknown directive `': line ignored
This also causes gencat to exit with a non-0 exit code. Even though
gencat says it ignores the line, it really doesn't.
An early porting change to programs/localized/util/merge.c was made to
ignore this return value on linux. This hack has now been removed.
Build logs are a lot smaller and cleaner now.
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is obsolete on BSD; FreeBSD even throws an error if you include it with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 Pascal Stumpf <Pascal.Stumpf@cubes.de>:
So here are all the patches that deal with the fact that modern
compilers assume different scoping rules for variables declared in for
loops. On Linux, -fpermissive has been added as a compiler flag to
compensate for this old C code, but I think it is the wrong approach.
Sorry, couldn't help sneaking in a || defined(CSRG_BASED) and some casts
needed for other reasons ...
Patch from Frederic Koehler <f.koehler427@gmail.com>:
These implicit definitions cause segfaults on x64 because
the implicit return type is a 32-bit signed int, rather than a pointer
type.
With Aaron's fixes to dtdbcache fixing a potential coredump, the
comment block in the write_db() function regarding tmpnam() no longer
applies, and the tmpnam_buf variable is no longer used.
So, remove them :)
Remove from individual Imakefiles.
Also, remove '#if 0' block in linux.cf, and remove empty
LinuxMachineDefines. This should be working correctly. If not, let me
know.
