Job uses Ubuntu 16.04 to get the widest compatibiity with Linux
distributions.
Snapshot builds are uploaded as job artifacts, but GitHub Actions do not
allow to specify compression program/params yet (everything is forced
into a zip).
Autoconf enforces these files only for GNU projects. ATM these files are
out of date and might be misleading to the users.
As long as we'll not place files with the same names in this repo, git
will automatically update moved files when new commits from SVN will be
merged in.
For releases, it would probably be the best to write our own NEWS.md
file and generate CHANGES.md file out of git log.
The eliminated code removes the (ch == 1) branch, which is scoped
within this if condition: `if (rtype == 2 && ch != 1)`, therefore
the (ch == 1) branch will never be taken.
In the call to decode_residue:
decode_residue(f, residue_buffers, ch, n2, r, do_not_decode);
The channel count is previously intialized as zero and incremented
based on a for-loop (f->channels) plus a conditional,
if (map->chan[j].mux == i). If this doesn't happen then 'ch'
remains zero.
Once inside decode_residue(..), the code has three branches based
on channel count: stereo (ch == 2), mono (ch == 1), and then the
exception if it's neither of those (simple 'else'). It's in here
where a zero-valued 'ch' can be used as the denominator in these
calculations:
int c_inter = z % ch
p_inter = z/ch;
Obviously this 'else' branch is meant for channel counts greater
than two an not for zero channels; so this change simply makes
that branch only valid if (ch > 2).
It didn't work. Coverity classifies all our builds as belonging to the
stream called 'dosbox-staging' and there's no option to change it.
This reverts commit e86e6e353e.
It seems like GitHub badges have some caching issues and they do not
work correctly (I have them showing two contradictory statuses,
depending on tab, no matter if I reload page or not).
This badge is useful link straight to the Coverity report, but Coverity
decides to present the scan results in quite misleading way - mixing
runs from master with runs from other branches.
It's better to show no info at all than to show misleading info.
Link to Coverity scan is accessible in README.md, as a reference [3] in
the comparison table.
GCC helpfully indicates, that:
warning: this ‘if’ clause does not guard (…) this statement, but
the latter is misleadingly indented as if it were guarded by the ‘if’.
Also, improve readability while we're touching these lines.
Previous glyph (Five Spoked Asterisk) looks great on Linux, but as it
turns out seems to be broken everywhere else. Use this opportunity to
point out, that SDL 1.2 in general is not being developed any more.
Also, make a correction:
"DOSBox does indicate support" -> "does not"
This bug was detected via Coverity static analysis:
Variable tempfile going out of scope leaks the storage it points to.
The leak happens when invalid keyboard layout file is being loaded:
$ touch xx.kl
$ dosbox .
C:\>keyb xx
Information in comparison table is based on developer testing on Linux
and user reports on Windows.
Remove VS-related info from INSTALL file instead of duplicating it in
README.md.

The Coverity software (Roughly 1.5GB worth unpacked from a tarball)
can only be downloaded from an authentication web sessions, so I've
uploaded it to my Google drive and use 'gdown' to pull it inside
the workflow. This sounds ugly, but it's not too bad: Coverity last
updated their software nine months ago, so this will be a once-a-year
change, maybe twice.
The Google drive ID, SHA256 checksum, and other specifics are all
variables at the top YAML, so they're easy to adjust when Coverity
makes their next update. The download, extraction, and sha256
verification are all done in parallel via pipes, and extracting to
/dev/shm. It should be pretty quick. Edit: it is; 4 seconds.
To keep the tarball small, I remove unecessary bits (but this is
optional), before tar & zstd compressing it:
``` bash
rm -rf closure-compiler jars jdk11 jre node support-angularjs
cd bin
rm *java* *js* *php* *python* *ruby*
```
