In "nroff" mode, italic font renders as an underlined text, which
makes it indistinguishable from the bold text on color monitors
(cons25 terminal type), yet it requires the less(1)'s -R option.
(Refer to the new grotty(1) manpage for details.)
So turn off the color support for now (when generating catpages),
until we figure out what do we do with this new feature. I have
a patch for grotty(1) that tells it to use the "reverse video"
attribute to render the italic font. Once this is accepted, we
can turn color support back on (if there won't be any objections
from the community).
interface setbuffer(), and emulates setbuffer() on USG systems using a
#define of setbuffer() in terms of setvbuf(). The #define is correctly
ifdefed in some places but was not correctly ifdefed here -- i.e., BSD
was essentially configured as USG here. This became fatal when <stdio.h>
was de-__P(())ified without testing. This file gets included before
<stdio.h>, so the #define now affects (and breaks)
`setbuffer<left parentheses>' in <stdio.h> where it didn't affect
`setbuffer<whitespace>'.
Murdered by members of: a.out.die.die.die
ELF is the 1 true path now. So make good on the src/Makefile threat that
building a.out will not be supported post 4.x. These bits should either
resurface as a port, or a new port using the latest Binutils bits. The
later will not support our SunOS-style shared a.out libs; but we shouldn't
need such support by this point in time.
under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.
Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha
internal buffer management somehow (an off by one perhaps). HAVE_MMAP
wasn't detected because configure has a bogus declaration of malloc
which conflicted with stdlib.h. Sigh.
