was this ever used for anything? i checked a couple hundred dockapps,
no joy; there's nothing in debian (afaict) that build-depends on it,
so let's try doing away with it.
- tested on Net, Free, Open and DragonFly
- fix up the linux version (terminate argv with a null ptr)
- add error handling to file ops in the linux version
- add a stub version for platforms not supported
- add new wglobaldefaultspathfordomain() to wings (replaces several
hand-rolled individual implementations in utils/)
- make all of 'em handle -h|--help, -v|--version
- try making them not to nothing silently
- change various ways of knowing thyselves to using __progname
- generally try to make them feel similar (NOT right, similar --
right is a completely different matter)
In the wmaker-dev list, Iain noted that:
"I can see the benefit of this. I know of at least two
applications[1] which don't bother to set a class and instance. Early
versions of my OS X cycling patch for Window Maker caused a crash when
faced with such windows because I forgot to check that these
properties existed. Nowadays it just refuses to do the cycling.
Also Window Maker won't let you save attributes on such windows from
the Inspector.
[1] Interestingly they are competiting commercial applications: No
Machine and Exceed onDemand."

Since getstyle now saves the theme pack in $GUR instead of
the cwd, there's a slight possibility you can specify a theme
pack name that will do Bad Things to your existing stuff.
To that end, specified theme pack name is "sanitised" a bit, as in
forward slashes in it are replaced by an underscore.
Oh yes, i forgot to mention. getstyle now saves the theme pack
in $GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT, not in cwd.
- make it use wings functions, remove duplicated code from getstyle
- de-static necessary functions in wings
- add new wrmdirhier to wings
- rename WMMkDirHier to wmkdirhier (fits better)
- remove calling shell from getstyle (what were they thinking?)
i couldn't quite test getstyle (no idea about themes), but it still
basically works.
do back your ~/G dir up... wrmdirhier might eat it!
definitely needs testing, especially by people who have any idea
how themes work.
Some more getstyle
- missed a shell invocation
- maybe copyFile should be in wutils too...?
[crmafra: Folded second patch into the first]
make wtrimspace() use wings' own function for a task
semantics change: it used to segfault given null, now it returns null.
this doesn't affect any current use (there's exactly one..), and i see
no harm in this behaviour, and perceive this to be more natural.
The result is not much more convoluted than the original was, but much shorter.
Several vararg macros were added -- no idea what !gcc compilers make of this.
The messages sent to these functions are inconsistent across the source tree.
I have now decided that the logging function will add the final newline -
messages will need to be modified accordingly.
I have no idea why the original implementation was as complicated and ugly as
it was. My guess is that it was anticipated that these are be called from
sighandlers, but why no snprintf when they are all stuffed up with vsnprintf...
Still, the result is not worse in this regard either.
remove the choice of atomic/non-atomic writes. firstly, the only users
of non-atomic writes were getstyle and geticonset; secondly, who in their
right minds would ever want non-atomic writes; thirdly, the file system
will screw you anyway *G*.
...which creates directory hierarchies under $GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT
- make WMWritePropListToFile() use this
readily solves the "run dialog history vs nonexistent state dir" case.
if other consumers are found for this, just de-static and move the
prototype to WUtil.h or some other appropriate place.
This patch removes bits and pieces of xmu that for some reason
have been bundled with wmaker. I can very well imagine that at the time
they were bundled, xmu was not, was not available everywhere, or
whatever.
I couldn't come across a system that doesn't have these things in its
system-supplied x libs, though i've been carrying this since january,
and my memory is quite flakey at times.
certainly nothing xorg is at danger, nor xfree86 dating back to at
least 3.3. i believe this stuff should be everywhere that calls itself
to be on par with x11r6.3 at the very least.
it would be incredibly useful if people having access to commercial
unixes could check this on things released in the past, say, 15 years.
i believe back then i had solaris 8+and sco openserver 5+ covered.
Actually, the whole thing is so chock full of signed vs unsigned
mixups and the assumption of all the world is 32-bit that i'm not sure
anymore that correcting them one by one is a good idea.
what would probably work best is that if someone deeply familiar with
the code (*looks in dan's general direction*) cleaned the data types
up, then legions of grunts like myself could start cleaning the rest
with relative confidence...
