the first cut of CTRACE changes are actually cosmetic - but do serve
a purpose:
+ they do pick up about 90% of the places where we should
change the code to restructure it (to make the inline fprintf
a call to a function that 'does the Right Thing'), but
+ there's a number of places where TRACE is used to wrap a block
of code - and I didn't modify the fprintf's in those since it
seemed redundant,
+ and the switches between stderr as stderr vs a logging file
have to be restructured.
But I didn't do anything on that last week, since I was (for the amount of time
I had available for Lynx) trying to reduce the backlog of patches from other
people (John Davis's patches are in the right direction, but required a fair
amount of work). But that (CTRACE etc) and tempname are both things that I
will work
on more. There's a couple of problems that I spotted that also have to be
resolved:
+ one of the recent changes (probably mine) leaves one of the temp
files undeleted, and
+ turning on the trace (in all versions) changes the color behavior.
So I'm looking into those (before I get into John Davis' keymap patch).
