Having a difficult choice between unplasant
cast to get a void * into an enumeration type
and "Something's wrong here" double cast
I decided for the latter.
At least it does not crash when the legal
value of zero is passed as the argument.
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is obsolete on BSD; FreeBSD even throws an error if you include it with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 ...
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.
