Known bugs in bsd-games and bsd-games-non-free
|
||
==============================================
|
||
|
||
I know of the following bugs in bsd-games and bsd-games-non-free;
|
||
there is no need to report them if you come across them, but fixes are
|
||
welcome.
|
||
|
||
General
|
||
=======
|
||
|
||
Some games may not handle signals (especially resizing) properly.
|
||
Handling signals properly means in a way conforming to ISO C and
|
||
POSIX.1: no async-unsafe functions may be used in a signal handler if
|
||
the signal could have interrupted an async-unsafe function, and any
|
||
variable of static storage duration assigned to must be of type
|
||
volatile sig_atomic_t. (See adventure for an example of proper
|
||
handling.)
|
||
|
||
Some games may not check for errors when they should (including
|
||
allocation failure), or may return inappropriate exit statuses.
|
||
|
||
Some games may have arbitrary limits that they should not have.
|
||
|
||
Specific games
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
Under some circumstances, hunt fails to start the hunt daemon if one
|
||
is not already running. In general, hunt needs thorough testing by
|
||
someone willing to investigate and fix bugs; at present hunt should be
|
||
considered unsupported and probably broken.
|
||
|
||
Saving in monop is completely broken. Since it assumes it can save by
|
||
writing out the whole data space from 0 to sbrk(0) and read it in to
|
||
restore, it may not be easy to fix.
|
||
|
||
Gomoku can use 16 megabytes or more of memory. (This is reported (not
|
||
by me) as NetBSD PR 3126.)
