just like hooks now. Yeah we've messed up a few times by now.
Seems only Gottem uses them :D
So now it would call for example: prio -10, prio 0, 10, 20, cmd.
This matches the behavior of hook priorities (and swhois etc.)
This so I - and others - don't constantly have to wonder whether the client
is called sptr, cptr or acptr in a simple routine.

Couldn't just mass-replace of course since there are places where there
are multiple clients involved. So had to check each function.
Also renamed some 'acptr' to 'target' and such.
I will write a page with new style rules later.. but in short if there is
only 1 client involved it will now be called 'client'.
code changes in UnrealIRCd itself:
1) Clients are no longer freed directly by exit_client. Most fields
are freed, but 'sptr' itself is not, so you can use IsDead() on it.
2) exit_client now returns void rather than int
3) ALL command functions return void rather than int.
Of course this also affects do_cmd, command overrides, etc.
This is a direct consequence of the removal of 'cptr' earlier, as that
was used to signal certain things that are now no longer possible
(and it raises the question if things were always correctly signaled
in the first place, so may fix some bugs).
It also makes the code more resillient against cases where you forgot
to check if the client was freed. Still, you are encouraged to do an
IsDead(sptr) if you are calling functions that may kill clients,
such as command functions or things that may use spamfilter.
More changes will follow, such as the removal of FLUSH_BUFFER.
'sptr' is sufficient and in most cases the only one you should care about.
Should you need it, you can access sptr->direction in cases where you
need the old information (usually only for some sendto_* functions
and some protoctl checks), so 'cptr' was redundant too.
[!] This change likely introduces some bugs. This was many hours of work.
I only cut some corners in 4 functions, which will be fixed at a later
stage..... yes, more major changes to come.
On the plus side, I likely fixed some bugs in the process. Situations
where cptr vs sptr usage was incorrect. Eg using cptr->name (near server)
when sptr->name should be used (the actual source server), etc....
which specifies the time in milliseconds rather than seconds. This
allows for additional precision, or at least multiple calls per second.
The minimum allowed every_msec value is 100 at this time.
The prototype is now: EventAdd(Module *module, char *name,
vFP event, void *data, long every_msec, int count);
crashes (has a core file) to the crash bug report.
Also, disable leak detection since this is too noisy and would cause
a core dump each time + bothering the user to submit a crash report
+ send this crashreport etc. We still enable this in our own tests
though, but not for end-users.
MOD_UNLOAD. And MOD_HEADER(xyz) is now MOD_HEADER even without ()
since this isn't a function, really.
To make things understandable I added the following to the
developer section of the release notes:
* The module header is now as follows:
ModuleHeader MOD_HEADER
= {
"nameofmodule",
"5.0",
"Some description",
"Name of Author",
"unrealircd-5",
};
There's a new author field, the version must start with a digit,
and also the name of the module must match the loadmodule name.
So for example third/funmod must also be named third/funmod.
* The MOD_TEST, MOD_INIT, MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD functions no longer
take a name argument. So: MOD_INIT(mymod) is now MOD_INIT()
the chanmodes/delayjoin module must be named chanmodes/delayjoin
in the module header.
This because currently we have two module names for each module,
one is the name from the MOD_HEADER and the other is the
relative path, such as used by loadmodule and is_module_loaded().
This commit also (not entirely, but practically) breaks loading
of modules outside the regular modules path. I don't think that's
a problem, although it could use a bit more documentation.
This so we have a few simple concepts:
Client: this can be a user, server, or something unknown yet
Then the type of clients:
User: this is a user, someone with a nick name.
Server: this is a server
Etc.
including things like CallCmdoverride() to CallCommandOverride().
Type changes like aTKline -> TKL and many more (in particular
aSomething to Something etc. such as aWatch to Watch) but these are
less used by 3rd party module coders.
aChannel to Channel, and some more. Third party module coders will
love this. But.. it makes things more logical and the doxygen output
will look more clean and logical as well.
(More changes will follow)
src/modules/tkl.c is the main one).
Also move DB writing/reading functions to src/misc.c so they can be
removed out of channeldb and tkldb.
Important note to current tkldb users:
Unfortunately due to the major cleanup I had to remove upgrading
for previously saved tkl db files. That seemed not worth the effort
for maybe <15 current users or so. It also makes the tkldb code
a lot more cleaner. Otherwise it would be a huge mess.
Currently a FIXME item: spamfilter support in RMTKL.
and remove old dependency field (never used, was always NULL,
broken since 3.2.x)
I'll add some constraints later on things like names and versions.
IOTW: more changes to follow, don't mass update your own mods yet.
LoadPersistentPointer(modinfo, removefld_list, floodprot_free_removefld_list);
SavePersistentPointer(modinfo, removefld_list);
The above example was for a pointer, there are also functions for int and long,
which are even more simple:
LoadPersistentInt(modinfo, somevar)
SavePersistentInt(modinfo, somevar)
and
LoadPersistentLong(modinfo, somevar)
SavePersistentLong(modinfo, somevar)
both are untested, but will be tested soon...
file that cannot be deleted via commands such as /KLINE -...
And transform some ban XX entries to use the TKL system
