Changed calc_errno a global int variable so that is may be directly
accessed by libcalc users.
Further improve help files for help/errno, help/error, help/newerror,
help/stoponerror and help/strerror by adding to documentation
of the calc error code system as well as libcalc interface
where applicable.
Changed #define E_USERDEF to #define E__USERDEF.
Removed use of E_USERDEF, E__BASE, E__COUNT, and E__HIGHEST
from custom/c_sysinfo because the c_sysinfo is just a demo
and this will simplify the custom/Makefile.
The include file calcerr.h is now the errsym.h include file.
The calcerr.tbl has been replaced by errtbl.c and errtbl.h.
The calcerr_c.awk, calcerr_c.sed, calcerr_h.awk, and
calcerr_h.sed files are now obsolete and have been removed.
The calcerr.c and calcerr.h now obsolete and are no longer built.
The calc computation error codes, symbols and messages are now in
a error_table[] array of struct errtbl.
An E_STRING is a string corresponds to an error code #define.
For example, the E_STRING for the calc error E_STRCAT,
is the string "E_STRING". An E_STRING must now match
the regular expression: "^E_[A-Z0-9_]+$".
The old array error_table[] of error message strings has been
replaced by a new error_table[] array of struct errtbl. The struct
errtbl array holds calc errnum error codes, the related E_STRING
symbol as a string, and the original related error message.
To add new computation error codes, add them near the bottom of the
error_table[] array, just before the NULL entry.
The ./errcode utility, when run, will verify the consistency of
the error_table[] array.
The Makefile uses ./errcode -e to generate the contents of
help/errorcodes file. The help errorcodes now prints
information from the new cstruct errtbl error_table[] array.
The help/errorcodes.hdr and help/errorcodes.sed files are
now obsolete and have been removed.
The Makefile uses ./errcode -d to generate the contents of the
errsym.h include file.
Updated .gitignore and trailblank to support the above changes.
Updated comments in Makefile.local for how to Diagnosing memory,
thread, and crash issues under RHEL and macOS.
We no longer support the Makefile variable ${ALLOW_CUSTOM} to be empty.
Normally ${ALLOW_CUSTOM} is:
ALLOW_CUSTOM= -DCUSTOM
Now, to disable custom disable custom even if -C is given, use:
ALLOW_CUSTOM="-UCUSTOM"
Added comments in Makefile.local for how to reduce dependency chains
under macOS. XXX - this doesn't yet work so don't uncomment - XXX.
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!
