Quoth MSDN: "The Unicode version of this function, CreateProcessW, can
modify the contents of this string. Therefore, this parameter cannot be
a pointer to read-only memory (such as a const variable or a literal
string). If this parameter is a constant string, the function may cause
an access violation."
It can, however, be NULL, which does the right thing automatically.
The GTK and OS X platforms already ignored the requested bit depth and
always used 32 bit. Windows and SDL would set a 16 bit color depth for
the screen, but still did all of the rendering short of the final
present in 32 bit.
GL startup failures call Application.Clear(), which will at some point
before creating the error dialog post a WM_QUIT. When the dialog box's
message loop retrieves that message, it will shut down the dialog box,
thus ensuring that the user will never see it.
So before showing the dialog box, we have to dispatch any pending
messages, then retrieve the WM_QUIT ourselves, run the dialog box, then
re-post the WM_QUIT.
As discussed in http://forum.openclonk.org/topic_show.pl?tid=2917, I
have merged all copyright notices into a single file and referenced that
merged file from each source file.
For the updated source files, the timeline has been split into three
parts:
1. Pre-RWD code (before 2001)
2. RWD code (2001 through 2009)
3. OpenClonk code (2009 and later)
All pre-RWD copyright notices have been left intact, as have RWD-era
copyright notices where the file did not have a RedWolf design copyright
notice but only individual author ones. All copyright notices of the
OpenClonk era have been replaced by a single notice ranging from the
first recorded year to the current year (2013). Mape code did not get a
OpenClonk Team copyright notice because it is somewhat separate from the
main OpenClonk codebase and has only been touched by Armin Burgmeier.
