When setting the tty device to raw mode, save the VERASE character.
Later, compare incoming bytes to that.
This is somewhat complicated because "stty verase undef"
sets termios.c_cc[VERASE] = _POSIX_VDISABLE, and e.g. Linux
defines _POSIX_VDISABLE as 0 but that must not cause ELinks
to treat incoming null bytes as backspaces. Furthermore,
some systems may use different VDISABLE values for different
terminal devices, in which case _POSIX_VDISABLE is undefined
and ELinks must instead read the value from fpathconf().
screen_driver_change_hook was comparing only strlen(name) characters
and ignoring the '\0'. To reproduce the bug in ELinks 0.11.3 and
ELinks 0.12.GIT:
- Run TERM=screen elinks.
- In another terminal, run TERM=scr elinks. Quit this slave ELinks.
- Open the terminal options dialog and set 16 colors.
- Open the option manager and change the terminal.scr.colors option to
1 and back to 0.
- Note that ELinks no longer displays colors.
That bug could be fixed just by using len+1 instead of len. However,
there is also another bug: memcmp may compare the specified number of
bytes, even if some of the earlier ones differ; thus, it could in
principle read past the end of the malloc block and thereby crash
ELinks. Using strcmp may be a little slower but I do not believe it
could become a bottleneck.
Use it for the actual I/O only. Previously, defining CONFIG_UTF8 and
enabling UTF-8 used to force many strings to the UTF-8 charset
regardless of the terminal charset option. Now, those strings always
follow the terminal charset. This fixes bug 914 which was caused
because _() returned strings in the terminal charset and functions
then assumed they were in UTF-8. This reduction in the effects of
UTF-8 I/O may also simplify future testing.
Don't cast function pointers; calling functions via pointers of
incorrect types is not guaranteed to work. Instead, define the
functions with the desired types, and make them cast the incoming
parameters. Or define wrapper functions if the return types don't
match.
really_exit_prog wasn't being used outside src/dialogs/menu.c,
and I had to change its parameter type, so it's now static.
