Programs that want to background themselves now need
to define threadmaybackground returning 1.
This avoids a confusing (to people and debuggers)
extra parent process for all the threaded programs
that will never want to background themselves.
Drawing as white on black to produce a mask only works if
the white on black is the inversion of black on white.
Emoji that force use of specific colors don't respect that.
Draw black on white and invert to mask separately.
This fixes https://github.com/9fans/plan9port/issues/436
This doesn't necessarily address the underlying issue: calling p9create with
mode = OREAD should probably be allowed, but currently doesn't work on
OpenBSD.
Unclear why it is here (wkj added it long ago).
It has never been installed into $PLAN9/bin,
so it's doubtful that anyone has ever used it.

Fixes#421.
List mode was constrained to the BMP. This change introduces
the following new list mode convention, using Go string literal syntax:
Non-printing ASCII characters display as \xhh.
Non-ASCII characters in the BMP display as \uhhhh.
Characters beyond the BMP display as \Uhhhhhhhh.
Runes in Plan 9 were limited to the 16-bit BMP when I drew up
the RPC protocol between graphical programs and devdraw
a long time ago. Now that they can be 32-bit, use a 32-bit wire
encoding too. A new message number to avoid problems with
other clients (like 9fans.net/go).
Add keyboard shortcut alt : , for U+1F602, face with tears of joy,
to test that it all works.
This fixes at least one shell script (printfont) that expected
'x'`{y}'z'
to mean
'x'^`{y}^'z'
as it now does. Before it meant:
'x'^`{y} 'z'
One surprise is that adjacent lists get a free carat:
(x y z)(1 2 3)
is
(x1 y2 z3)
This doesn't affect any rc script in Plan 9 or plan9port.
The old yacc-based parser is available with the -Y flag,
which will probably be removed at some point.
The new -D flag dumps a parse tree of the input,
without executing it. This allows comparing the output
of rc -D and rc -DY on different scripts to see that the
two parsers behave the same.
The rc paper ends by saying:
It is remarkable that in the four most recent editions of the UNIX
system programmer’s manual the Bourne shell grammar described in the
manual page does not admit the command who|wc. This is surely an
oversight, but it suggests something darker: nobody really knows what
the Bourne shell’s grammar is. Even examination of the source code is
little help. The parser is implemented by recursive descent, but the
routines corresponding to the syntactic categories all have a flag
argument that subtly changes their operation depending on the context.
Rc’s parser is implemented using yacc, so I can say precisely what the
grammar is.
The new recursive descent parser here has no such flags.
It is a straightforward translation of the yacc.
The new parser will make it easier to handle free carats
in more generality as well as potentially allow the use of
unquoted = as a word character.
Going through this exercise has highlighted a few
dark corners here as well. For example, I was surprised to
find that
x >f | y
>f x | y
are different commands (the latter redirects y's output).
It is similarly surprising that
a=b x | y
sets a during the execution of y.
It is also a bit counter-intuitive
x | y | z
x | if(c) y | z
are not both 3-phase pipelines.
These are certainly not things we should change, but they
are not entirely obvious from the man page description,
undercutting the quoted claim a bit.
On the other hand, who | wc is clearly accepted by the grammar
in the manual page, and the new parser still handles that test case.
The issue manifests in fork: POSIX fork mandates that a
fork'd process is created with a single thread. If a
multithreaded program forks, and some thread was in
malloc() when the fork() happened, then in the child
the lock will be held but there will be no thread to
release it.
We assume the system malloc() must already know how to
deal with this and is thread-safe, but it won't know about
our custom spinlock. Judging that this is no longer
necessary (the lock code was added 15 years ago) we remove
it.

The dump substitutes each \n in a multiline tag with a 0xff byte.
Since it is not valid UTF it cannot occur in an ordinary dump file.
Old acmes will just read it in as an error rune.

This hides the menu on dock on all screens which is more than we want.
The code was added to fix a problem with Catalina that I can no longer
reproduce, so I guess it works now.

There are many things we could do to make this work.
an environment variable to control the character.
Another option would be to use U+00A0 (non-breaking space),
which renders the same as space.
This change avoids changing the separator character and instead
assumes that if the left side of the tag already ends in " Del Snarf |"
then what comes before that is the file name.
Acme already aggressively preserves the "Del Snarf |",
so this should work decently well as a stop-gap.
We can always try something else later.

This brings mk's behavior when using rc in line with Plan 9's.
The existing code is for Unix environment data structures but
also was assuming Unix shell semantics where empty and missing
variables are mostly equivalent.
The Plan 9 code (/sys/src/cmd/mk/plan9.c in the distribution)
explicitly removes /env/name (creating an empty list) when the
value is missing or an empty string.
Fixes#255.
Improved error message in case of unexpected open flags. The message
unexpected open flags requested=0100040 unhandled=040
prompted me to clear the FMODE_EXEC flag, although I wonder if I
shouldn't have set OEXEC (0x3) instead.
Now that we only have Metal, we can drop the -metal.
Also now that Carbon is gone we can drop the macargv.c,
and then the -objc from object file names.
We didn't start using Metal until macOS 10.14,
but it was available on 10.13, which is currently
the oldest Apple-supported version of macOS.
Simplify by deleting the old code.
The functions from <ctype.h> require that their argument be
representable as an unsigned char, anything else is an error.

Some truetype fonts have good manual hinting.
Ignoring hinting makes the font render badly on low resolution screens.
This commit only disables the freetype autohinter, and allows hinting.
This splits a certain vtmallocz call in mkihash into two vtmallocz
calls. The first issue this fixes is that the C aliasing rules were not
respected in the code before this commit. The other thing is that this
enables better memory alignment guarantees.

or conditional.

A loop is added for each structure field instead of accessing the other

Passing a null pointer to qsort is an error in C (GCC and Clang agree
with the standards there, so this is no joke).
