I've only just realised that there's a false-positive bug in the
latin.c solver framework.
It's designed to solve puzzles in which the solution is a latin square
but with some additional constraints provided by the individual
puzzle, and so during solving, it runs a mixture of its own standard
deduction functions that apply to any latin-square puzzle and extra
functions provided by the client puzzle to do deductions based on the
extra clues or constraints.
But what happens if the _last_ move in the solving process is
performed by one of the latin.c built-in methods, and it causes a
violation of the client puzzle's extra constraints? Nothing will ever
notice, and so the solver will report that the puzzle has a solution
when it actually has none.
An example is the Group game id 12i:m12b9a1zd9i6d10c3y2l11q4r . This
was reported by 'groupsolver -g' as being ambiguous. But if you look
at the two 'solutions' reported in the verbose diagnostics, one of
them is arrant nonsense: it has no identity element at all, and
therefore, it fails associativity all over the place. Actually that
puzzle _does_ have a unique solution.
This bug has been around for ages, and nobody has reported a problem.
For recursive solving, that's not much of a surprise, because it would
cause a spurious accusation of ambiguity, so that at generation time
some valid puzzles would be wrongly discarded, and you'd never see
them. But at non-recursive levels, I can't see a reason why this bug
_couldn't_ have led one of the games to present an actually impossible
puzzle believing it to be soluble.
Possibly this never came up because the other clients of latin.c are
more forgiving of this error in some way. For example, they might all
be very likely to use their extra clues early in the solving process,
so that the requirements are already baked in by the time the final
grid square is filled. I don't know!
Anyway. The fix is to introduce last-minute client-side validation:
whenever the centralised latin_solver thinks it's come up with a
filled grid, it should present it to a puzzle-specific validator
function and check that it's _really_ a legal solution.
This commit does the plumbing for all of that: it introduces the new
validator function as one of the many parameters to latin_solver, and
arranges to call it in an appropriate way during the solving process.
But all the per-puzzle validation functions are empty, for the moment.

This is the main bulk of this boolification work, but although it's
making the largest actual change, it should also be the least
disruptive to anyone interacting with this code base downstream of me,
because it doesn't modify any interface between modules: all the
inter-module APIs were updated one by one in the previous commits.
This just cleans up the code within each individual source file to use
bool in place of int where I think that makes things clearer.

This commit removes the old #defines of TRUE and FALSE from puzzles.h,
and does a mechanical search-and-replace throughout the code to
replace them with the C99 standard lowercase spellings.

latin_check now returns bool, and latin_solver_diff_set takes a bool
'extreme' flag. Should be non-disruptive.

Oops! This was left over from an early development version of commits
4408476b7 and 000ebc507, in which I initially arranged for each
adjacency list to be terminated with the sentinel value -1 instead of
separately storing an array of the lists' lengths.
I later changed the representation to make randomising the algorithm
easier (it's much easier to shuffle an array uniformly at random if
you _don't_ have to faff endlessly to work out its length). But this
write of a no-longer- needed sentinel value in the client code must
have survived the rewrite by mistake, and also somehow evaded all my
pre-commit testing with valgrind and asan.
A user reported that the Towers Javascript version was crashing on
startup, and I think this is the cause, because it seems to fix it for
me.

The new client code is a lot smaller and nicer, because we can throw
away the col[] and num[] permutations entirely.
Of course, this also means that every puzzle that incorporated latin.c
now has to link against matching.c instead of maxflow.c - but since I
centralised that secondary dependency into Recipe a few commits ago,
it's trivial to switch them all over at once.

In solver_show_working mode, we were logging all the deductions,
guesswork and backtracking, but not printing out the actual solution
(if any) reached at the end of each branch of the tree.

I've also added that warning option and -Werror to the build script,
so that I'll find out if I break this property in future.

Hitori. One infrastructure change in the process: latin.c has
acquired a utility function to generate a latin rectangle rather
than a full square.

introduced to mimic similar macros in solo.c, in case Solo ever
moved over to being based on the latin.c solver framework; but even
Solo has long since lost those macros, so latin.c has no need to
keep them.

programs having to clone the latin_solver() function and insert
their own extra deduction routines, they can now just _call_
latin_solver with enough parameters to let it fit its own deductions
into their difficulty framework and call a set of provided function
pointers to do user deductions. Modified Unequal to work in the new
world, of course.

is mostly done with ifdefs in windows.c; so mkfiles.pl generates a
new makefile (Makefile.wce) and Recipe enables it, but it's hardly
any different from Makefile.vc apart from a few definitions at the
top of the files.
Currently the PocketPC build is not enabled in the build script, but
with any luck I'll be able to do so reasonably soon.
