GCC 7 Added a warning for implicit fallthroughs in switch cases.
It's enabled by -Wextra, and treated as an error due to -Werror so
compilation fails on GCC 7 and higher.
See -Wimplicit-fallthrough in the GCC manual.
Regularized the case statements in qio.c, str.c, and token.c
that relate to escape characters.
The '\a' is now recognized in a printf format string as the
single byte audible bell character (byte 0x07 in ASCII encoding).
The following is a partial list of escape sequences recognized
in strings and in printf formats:
\a audible bell byte 0x07 in ASCII encoding
\b backspace byte 0x08 in ASCII encoding
\f form feed byte 0x0c in ASCII encoding
\n newline byte 0x0b in ASCII encoding
\r return byte 0x0a in ASCII encoding
\t tab byte 0x0d in ASCII encoding
\v vertical tab byte 0x09 in ASCII encoding
Added a patch to replaces the manual search for include files
in $(INCDIR) in the have_*.h targets with compiler invocations.
Thanks goes to Helmut Grohne <helmut at subdivi dot de> who
implemented the patch and posted it to the Debian bug tracker
and Martin Buck (m at rtin-buck dor de) for forwarding it to us.
The check_include make rule was fixed to not assume /usr/include.
The qprintnum() function now takes outdigits as a 3rd argument.
Most of the time, this 3rd argument is just conf->outdigits.
But when it comes to the experimental '%g', this value can
change. This avoids having to modify conf->outdigits.
This code %g is preliminary.
Fixed some code style issues to match the current code style.
Added regression tests and help file updates to printf and strprintf.
Fixed use of magic number -4: using -P instead.
Noted two problem areas with XXX comments in qio.c:
1) need a qprintfg function
2) re-write to not modify conf->outdigits
Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!? And we will say,
hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was
around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-)
Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18.
RCS served us well. But now it is time to move on. And so we are
switching to git.
Calc releases produce a lot of file changes. In the 125 releases
of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there
have been 15473 file mods!
