The last use was for storing a list of memory blocks. As the way these lists are accessed is very
specific, it is easier to just write an explicit destructor instead of trying to exactly match the behaviour.
DropDownListItem are strongly managed using std::unique_ptr to ensure leak-free handling. Appropriate use
of move-semantics make intent a lot clearer than parameter comments and allows the compiler to generate
copy-free code for most situations.
A conforming compiler with a valid <mutex>-header is expected.
Most parts of the code assume that locking a mutex will never fail unexpectedly,
which is generally true on all common platforms that don't just pretend to
be C++11. The use of condition variables in driver code is checked.
The use of std::none_of in network/core/host.cpp is driven by the non-const
comparison operator use by NetworkAddress. A future commit should address
the const_casts in that class to ensure const-correctness.
The public and protected interface to SmallVector are unchanged
SmallVector now requires that items be default constructible
This isn't an issue since some contained items were previously created
uninitialized.
Temporary default constructors are added to the following structs
- SmallPair
- SmallStackItem
- GRFPresence
Where vector<bool> is required, transition immediately to std::vector
to avoid returning proxy object references.
In 10 years there was no active development on DOS. Although it
turned out to still work, the FPS was very bad. There is little
interest in the current community to look into this.
Further more, we like to switch to c++11 functions for threads,
which are not implemented by DJGPP, the only current compiler
for DOS.
Additionally, DOS is the only platform which does not support
networking. It is the reason we have tons of #ifdefs to support
disabling networking.
By removing DOS support, we can both use c++11 functions for threads,
and remove all the code related to disabling network. Sadly, this
means we have to see DOS go.
Of course, if you feel up for the task, simply revert this commit,
and implement stub c++11 functions for threads and stub functions
for networking. We are more than happy to accept such Pull Request.
