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OpenClonk era have been replaced by a single notice ranging from the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.
libc4script requires the system string table, but doesn't require the
full-fledged C4Language. Move the table to C4LangStringTable to reduce
dependencies.
To make C4ComponentHost more reusable, move C4Language dependencies out
of the class.
LoadEx isn't really suited to reside in C4Language, but it's better to
have it there, since all C4Language consumers also use C4ComponentHost;
the reverse isn't true.
A large number of g++ versions ship a <regex> that declares all of the
required functions, but don't actually implement them, making using them
result in a linker error.
Fallback to Boost.Regex if the host C++11 <regex> implementation is
broken; the interface is the same anyway, only differing in the
containing namespace.
Unfortunately, Boost.Regex is not a header-only library, but this is not
a big deal because all major Linux distributions ship it, and Visual
Studio implements <regex> since 2010 (the oldest version we still
support).
ResTable (the main system string table) was a home-grown hashmap that
did not cope with collisions at all. Since we already have a proper
dictionary in C4LangStringTable, use that instead.
This time with more manual checking and using git blame -M -C, so that
a few cases of copied code get a copyright notice corresponding to
their initial introduction.
