halibut/malloc.c, branch master My halibut tree Revamp of the Halibut error handling mechanism. 2012-08-29T18:13:11+00:00 Simon Tatham anakin@pobox.com 2012-08-29T18:13:11+00:00 1489dc15967970576d08f3f2b22c6e1c939bcbcf I'm not quite sure why I ever thought it was a good idea to have a central variadic error() function taking an integer error code followed by some list of arguments that depend on that code. It now seems obvious to me that it's a much more sensible idea to have a separate function per error, so that we can check at compile time that the arguments to each error call are of the right number and type! So I've done that instead. A side effect is that the errors are no longer formatted into a fixed-size buffer before going to stderr, so I can remove all the %.200s precautions in the format strings.

Add a "const" to the argument of dupstr() so that GCC doesn't complain when 2007-02-04T23:39:47+00:00 Ben Harris bjh21@bjh21.me.uk 2007-02-04T23:39:47+00:00 a6137380cf2e8711c2ec7a522e746e894aaea473 we pass it a constant string. [originally from svn r7218]

dup_word_list() does the right thing if passed NULL (on general principles) 2004-08-06T00:31:35+00:00 Jacob Nevins jacobn@chiark.greenend.org.uk 2004-08-06T00:31:35+00:00 a4baf2e856ebac06b56b62f46cde5d88229f0974 [originally from svn r4410]

Switch the memory allocation macros from the Halibut ones 2004-06-12T20:31:03+00:00 Simon Tatham anakin@pobox.com 2004-06-12T20:31:03+00:00 a5d800d080a9eb557082042216636ac872eac7ec (mknew/mknewa/resize) to the PuTTY ones (snew/snewn/sresize). snewn and mknewa have their arguments opposite ways round; this may make the change initially painful but in the long term will free me of a nasty context switch every time I move between codebases. Also sresize takes an explicit type operand which is used to cast the return value from realloc, thus enforcing that it must be correct, and arranging that if anyone tries to compile Halibut with a C++ compiler there should be a lot less pain.

Rename Buttress to Halibut. I _think_ I've caught everything in this pass. 2002-08-05T10:31:35+00:00 Simon Tatham anakin@pobox.com 2002-08-05T10:31:35+00:00 c478f3d9469c09773097eba89342c311ee70a319 [originally from svn r1800]
