In this path we can't look up ignores again because the print text signal
doesn't know the nick, etc. Instead just show it. The user can use -actcolor %n
or make the hilight more specific if desired.
This results in a more flexible system and is less surprising as it means levels
can be used in the way they normally can in an ignore.
As an example the current approach to NO_ACT provides no way to let HILIGHTS
be shown, with this change /set activity_hide_targets can be recreated with:
/ignore #channel NO_ACT
/ignore #channel -except -regexp -pattern . NO_ACT HILIGHTS
(but obviously this can be configured in many more ways if desired).
add the missing alternate_nick in Irc::Server by making an additional
call to the Irc::Connect filler. this is not quite ideal but might
need bigger refactoring otherwise.
This patch implements some 256 colour support for Irssi up from the
previous 16 colours. Initial parsing of the %x/%X format codes is
implemented and the parser accounts in advances the char* for
that.
The colour attributes are widened from 4 to 8 bit. The colour protocol
is changed to a new format. Some pointers to remaining work are
written in the comment in textbuffer.h.
Note that Irssi already does support requesting 256 colours from the
terminal in the original source code, so this part did not have to be
touched.
Silences notice on newer autoconf:
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.
This helps keep the top-level build directory clean, too
Further to pull #49 this is the result of an audit of the use of perl
stack macros. There were several cases where PUTBACK was being called
where the stack pointer could be out-of-date.
Also some misc. cleanup where the macros were used needlessly.
PUTBACK was being called even for the error path which didn't use the
stack. Emitting the "script error" signal can involve running Perl code
(Irssi:core::destroy) therefore the stack can be reallocated. This
can result in the perl stack being corrupted because the local stack
pointer is out of date (although as it's use of freed memory the crash
is not always instant).
This removes the calls to Perl_get_context() that get automatically
added to XS code for ancient source code compatibility reasons.
The result is about a ~60K size reduction in the binary (based on
comparing two 64-bit stripped irssi binaries compiled
--with-perl-staticlib).
