activate additional checks which compare the results from running
tparm() on the terminfo expressions versus the translated termcap

> patches by Nicolas Boulenguez:
+ explicit dereferences to suppress some style warnings.
+ when c_varargs_to_ada.c includes its header, use double quotes
instead of <>.
+ samples/ncurses2-util.adb: removed unused with clause. The warning
was removed by an obsolete pragma.
+ replaced Unreferenced pragmas with Warnings (Off). The latter,
available with older GNATs, needs no configure test. This also
replaces 3 untested Unreferenced pragmas.
+ simplified To_C usage in trace handling. Using two parameters allows
some basic formatting, and avoids a warning about security with some
compiler flags.
+ for generated Ada sources, replace many snippets with one pure
package.
+ removed C_Chtype and its conversions.
+ removed C_AttrType and its conversions.
+ removed conversions between int, Item_Option_Set, Menu_Option_Set.
+ removed int, Field_Option_Set, Item_Option_Set conversions.
+ removed C_TraceType, Attribute_Option_Set conversions.
+ replaced C.int with direct use of Eti_Error, now enumerated. As it
was used in a case statement, values were tested by the Ada compiler
to be consecutive anyway.
+ src/Makefile.in: remove duplicate stanza
+ only consider using a project for shared libraries.
+ style. Silent gnat-4.9 warning about misplaced "then".
+ generate shared library project to honor ADAFLAGS, LDFLAGS.
+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
--version message.
+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
+ drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
has used that for a while.

for experimental use.
+ remove unused configure macros.
+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.

+ add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
(cf: 20040327).
+ correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
+ amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
+ add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
+ modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
filesystem.
+ updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
+ modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
Alcock aka "Nix").
+ build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (ch: 20110917).
+ add special check in Ada95/configure script for ncurses6 reentrant
code.

+ fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).
+ add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate
package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr
Pavlu).
> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
pragmas.
+ suppress unreferenced warnings.
+ make all dereferences in binding explicit.
+ regen Ada html documentation.

is listed first.
+ modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
+ modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is

+ modify configure script to add -g and/or -O3 to ADAFLAGS if the
CFLAGS for the build has these options.
+ amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
thread in comp.lang.ada).

+ spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt
> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
+ add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
+ add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
+ add Library_Options to library.gpr
+ add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
+ start documenting interface changes for upcoming 5.8 release.

Alcock).

out-of-tree.

* add hard-reset for rs2 to wsvt25 to help ensure that reset ends
the alternate character set (patch by Nicholas Marriott)
+ remove tar-copy.sh and related configure/Makefile chunks, since the
Ada95 binding is now installed using rules in Ada95/src.
+ start integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95 tree
+ add test_make / test_clean / test_install rules in Ada95/src
+ change install-path for adainclude directory to /usr/share/ada (was
/usr/lib/ada).
+ update Ada95/configure.
+ add mlterm+256color entry, for mlterm 3.0.0 -TD
+ modify test/configure to use macros to ensure consistent order

+ modify screen-bce.XXX entries to exclude ech, since screen's color
model does not clear with color for that feature -TD
+ add make-tar.sh scripts to Ada95 and test subdirectories to help with
making those separately distributable.
+ build-fix for static libraries without dlsym (Debian #556378).
+ fix a syntax error in man/form_field_opts.3x (patch by Ingo
Schwarze).
+ add screen.Eterm terminfo entry (GenToo #124887) -TD
+ modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
directory.
+ correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in
adacurses-config
+ change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
works for C/C++ parts).
+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
+ modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
+ build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
+ restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
+ fix a bug in Ada95/samples/ncurses which caused a variable to
become uninitialized in the "b" test.

generated html.
+ add Ada95 binding to _nc_freeall() as Curses_Free_All to help with
memory-checking.
+ correct some functions in Ada95 binding which were using return value
from C where none was returned: idcok(), immedok() and wtimeout().
+ amend recent changes for Ada95 binding to make it build with
Cygwin's linker, e.g., with configure options
--enable-broken-linker --with-ticlib
+ modify Ada95 binding to build with --enable-reentrant by wrapping
global variables (bug: acs_map does not yet work).
+ modify Ada95 binding to use the new access-functions, allowing it
to build/run when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
+ add access-functions and macros to return properties of the WINDOW
structure, e.g., when NCURSES_OPAQUE is set.
+ improved install-sh's quoting.
+ use mkdirs.sh rather than mkinstalldirs, e.g., to use fixes from
other programs.
NCURSES_OPAQUE set, since we cannot pass a reference to
+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
Ricardo Cantu).
+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
no longer relies on it.
+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
--enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
+ add a break-statement in misc/shlib to ensure that it exits on the
_first_ matched directory (report by Paul Novak).
+ add tack/configure, which can be used to build tack outside the
ncurses build-tree.
+ add --with-ticlib option, to build/install the tic-support functions
in a separate library (suggestd by Miroslav Lichvar).
