> 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.
+ modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
Boulenguez):
+ Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc. This
undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
+ add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
the in-tree build of sample programs.
+ corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
needed for rpm script.
+ add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
options if building a shared library with gnat.
> portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
+ add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat. This is
needed for the "rain" sample program. If SIGINT does not work, omit
that sample program.
+ correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
+ add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
which were added in 5.7 and later.

+ 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.
+ change order of -I options from ncurses*-config script when the
--disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include
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
distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ 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).
+ build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5
+ 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
+ revert changes to limit-checks from 20110122 (Debian #616711).
> minor type-cleanup of Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+ corrected a minor sign error in a field of Low_Level_Field_Type, to
conform to form.h.
+ replaced C_Int by Curses_Bool as return type for some callbacks, see
fieldtype(3FORM).
+ modify samples/sample-explain.adb to provide explicit message when
explain.txt is not found.
+ improve makefiles for Ada95 tree (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ fix an off-by-one error in _nc_slk_initialize() from 20100605 fixes
for compiler warnings (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+ modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to declare unused bits in generated layouts,
needed to compile when chtype is 64-bits using gnat 4.4.5
+ miscellaneous build-fixes for Ada95 and test-directories when built
out-of-tree.
+ use VPATH in makefiles to simplify out-of-tree builds (Debian #34182).

work around by adding script to generate alternate makefile.
+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
+ add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make rule.
+ move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since additional checks
will be needed to distinguish old/new implementations of gnat.
+ 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

+ modify adacurses-config to look for ".ali" files in the adalib
directory.
+ correct install for Ada95, which omitted libAdaCurses.a used in

for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
+ use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
option.
+ change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
options.

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
+ eliminate part of the direct use of WINDOW data from Ada95 interface.
+ fix substitutions for termlib filename to make configure option
--enable-reentrant work with --with-termlib.
+ change a constructor for NCursesWindow to allow compiling with
NCURSES_OPAQUE defined, since we cannot pass a reference to
an opaque pointer.
