I'm not too happy about the result either, but at least it has less
chance of backfiring.
This particular feature could be called "a mess" without offending
anybody.
Use them to `make gcc -Wformat' check formats for all printf-like
and scanf-like functions in /usr/src except for the err()/warn()
family. err() isn't quite printf-like since its format arg can
legitimately be NULL. syslog() isn't quite printf-like, but gcc
already accepts %m, even for plain printf() when it shouldn't.
FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
The details are hidden in the DB_COMMAND(cmd_name, func_name) and
DB_SHOW_COMMAND(cmd_name, func_name) macros. DB_COMMAND() adds to
the top-level ddb command table and DB_SHOW_COMMAND adds to the
`show' subtable. Most external commands will probably be `show'
commands with no side effects. They should check their pointer
args more carefully than `show map' :-), or ddb should trap internal
faults better (like it does for memory accesses).
The vm ddb commands are temporarily unattached.
ddb.h:
Also declare `db_indent' and db_iprintf() which will replace vm's
`indent' and iprintf().
