POSIX specifies a dprintf function that operates on an fd instead of
a stdio stream. Using upper case for macros is more idiomatic too.
We no longer need to use an extra set of parentheses for debugging
printf statements.
* LC_NUMERIC radix issue.
According to https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xcu/awk.html
The period character is the character recognized in processing awk
programs. Make it so that during output we also print the period
character, since this is what other awk implementations do, and it
makes sense from an interoperability point of view.
* print "T.builtin" in the error message
* Fix backslash continuation line handling.
* Keep track of RS processing so we apply the regex properly only once
per record.
* - enhance fpe handler to print the error type
- cleanup argument parsing
- dynamically allocate program filename array
* bison uses enums now, not #define's, make it work with that.
* We need to use either the enums or the defines but not both. This
is because bison -y will create both enums and #defines, while bison
without -y produces only the enums, and byacc produces just #defines.
* fix indentation
* Set the tokentype when we have a match in the scan, and reset it later
when we decide that the match was bad. Fixes nbyacc.
* - don't use pattern rules for portability
- try to move both flavors of generated names for portability
* Amend tests for the new error messages
Support POSIX-specified C-style escape sequences "\a" (alarm)
and "\v" (vertical tab) in command line arguments and regular
expressions, further to the support for them in strings added on
Apr 9, 1989. These now no longer match as literal "a" and "v"
characters (as they don't on gawk and mawk).
IOW, lex.c already supported these (lines 390-391 as of 4e343460);
the support needed to be added to b.c and tran.c.

While none of them is considered even near to cryptographic
level, random(3) is a better random generator than rand(3).
Use random(3) for awk as is done in other systems.
Thanks to Chenguang Li for discussing this in the lists
and submitting the patch upstream.

The lack of POSIX interval expressions[*] (a.k.a. bounds, a.k.a.
repetition expressions) in regular expressions is listed under BUGS
in 'awk.1'. Apple's version of onetrueawk has supported these since
at least 2009, judging by the date stamp on their src/b.c in:
https://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/awk/awk-24.tar.gz
A bug report prompted NetBSD to swiftly integrate this code into
their awk. This commit is based on that NetBSD diff.
http://gnats.netbsd.org/53885f3e4c4ca1d
b.c:
- Backport POSIX-standard interval expressions support in regular
expressions via NetBSD from Apple awk-24 (20070501).
main.c:
- Bump version ID.
FIXES:
- Add note and credit for this feature.
awk.1: section BUGS:
- Remove line saying interval expressions are not supported.
