SpiderMonkey was updated to mozjs24. If you want to build elinks
with ecmascript support, you must compile using g++ with -fpermissive .
There is a lot of warnings.
There are some memleaks in ecmascript code, especially related to JSAutoCompartment.
I don't know yet, where and how to free it.
Debian does not support mozjs24, so I'm going to gradually update SpiderMonkey version.
Weak points:
- alignof
- js problems
Todo:
- make js work with C++ and mozjs-17
- then mozjs-24
- then mozjs-52
- then mozjs-60
- decrease number of warnings
DELETED:
* dumb {b}, smart {bb, bb_fr_en, bb_en_fr}: Redirects to Microsoft
Translator, which I can't get to work without JavaScript. Deleted.
* dumb {pyhelp}, smart {py, pydev}: Deleted as recommended by the
author of the CGI script.
* dumb {pyvault, lyrics}, smart {pyvault}: Can't find a new URL for the
service. Deleted.
* smart {gd}: Google Directory has been shut down. Deleted.
* smart {sd, sdc, sdu, sdp, sdj, whatis}: These don't seem to work
without JavaScript. Deleted.
* smart {id, draft}: The search still exists but I can't get it to
take the words from the URL. Deleted.
UPDATED:
* dumb {cia}: Had changed its URL, and the service is down, but they
intend to restore it. Updated and kept.
* dumb {lua}: ELinks no longer supports Lua 4.0. Changed to 5.1 as
installed by Debian.
* smart {cliki, foldoc, gwho, gwhat, gwhere, gwhen, a, imdb, wn, fsd,
rfcs, cr}: Updated URLs.
INIT_OPTION used to initialize union option_value at compile time by
casting the default value to LIST_OF(struct option) *, which is the
type of the first member. On sparc64 and other big-endian systems
where sizeof(int) < sizeof(struct list_head *), this tended to leave
option->value.number as zero, thus messing up OPT_INT and OPT_BOOL
at least. OPT_LONG however tended to work right.
This would be easy to fix with C99 designated initializers,
but doc/hacking.txt says ELinks must be kept C89 compatible.
Another solution would be to make register_options() read the
value from option->value.tree (the first member), cast it back
to the right type, and write it to the appropriate member;
but that would still require somewhat dubious conversions
between integers, data pointers, and function pointers.
So here's a rather more invasive solution. Add struct option_init,
which is somewhat similar to struct option but has non-overlapping
members for different types of values, to ensure nothing is lost
in compile-time conversions. Move unsigned char *path from struct
option_info to struct option_init, and replace struct option_info
with a union that contains struct option_init and struct option.
Now, this union can be initialized with no portability problems,
and register_options() then moves the values from struct option_init
to their final places in struct option.
In my x86 ELinks build with plenty of options configured in, this
change bloated the text section by 340 bytes but compressed the data
section by 2784 bytes, presumably because union option_info is a
pointer smaller than struct option_info was.

Conflicts:
src/protocol/fsp/fsp.c: All options had been removed in 0.13.GIT.
src/protocol/smb/smb2.c: Ditto.
... and mention that URI rewriting rules may leak ELinks' identity
in the documentation of protocol.http.user_agent.
Originally requested at <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/856348>.
Documentation strings of most options used to contain a "\n" at the
end of each source line. When the option manager displayed these
strings, it treated each "\n" as a hard newline. On 80x24 terminals
however, the option description window has only 60 columes available
for the text (with the default setup.h), and the hard newlines were
further apart, so the option manager wrapped the text a second time,
resulting in rather ugly output where long lones are interleaved with
short ones. This could also cause the text to take up too much
vertical space and not fit in the window.
Replace most of those hard newlines with spaces so that the option
manager (or perhaps BFU) will take care of the wrapping. At the same
time, rewrap the strings in source code so that the source lines are
at most 79 columns wide.
In some options though, there is a list of possible values and their
meanings. In those lists, if the description of one value does not
fit in one line, then continuation lines should be indented. The
option manager and BFU are not currently able to do that. So, keep
the hard newlines in those lists, but rewrap them to 60 columns so
that they are less likely to require further wrapping at runtime.
This syncs some changes (ie. -> e.g. etc.) from elinks-0.12 or beyond.
I noticed them while updating the web pages, and apologize that I will
not spent the time to attribute it to the individual commits.

<http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?search=sue%20lawley>
incorrectly redirects to
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?search=sue%2520lawley>
which searches for "sue%20lawley" rather than "sue lawley".
By using en.wikipedia.org directly, we avoid the server bug.
Prompted by an elinks-users post on 2007-07-27.
I asked on #wikimedia-tech, and www.wikipedia.org does always
redirect to en.wikipedia.org; it does not guess any other
language based on headers or IP addresses or such. Also, the
redirection exists only for compatibility, and skipping it
avoids a few roundtrips to the server. So this change is good
even if the server is eventually fixed.
This changes the init target to be idempotent: most importantly it will now
never overwrite a Makefile if it exists. Additionally 'make init' will
generate the .vimrc files. Yay, no more stupid 'added fairies' commits! ;)
Ditch the building of an archive (.a) in favour of linking all objects in a
directory into a lib.o file. This makes it easy to link in subdirectories
and more importantly keeps the build logic in the local subdirectories.
Note: after updating you will have to rm **/*.a if you do not make clean
before updating.
