The C++ standard library comes with perfectly fine implementations of
these functions, so there's no point in reimplementing them just for the
hell of it.
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OpenClonk era have been replaced by a single notice ranging from the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.
These are not used anymore in openclonk, if there is any need for the functionalitiy at all, it can be implemented in C4Script. To remove the other definitions some more work is required.
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.
RCT_Escaped is meant to be used when embedding a string into a custom encoding of a structure. That's why it has a terminator symbol and escapes anything that could be interpreted as a seperator. Falling back to RCT_All completely destroys this safeness, as it just blindly copies everything. In case this kind of functionality is really needed, introduce RCT_EscapedAll or something similar.
This is a whitespace-only patch. Hopefully, it'll only affect rarely-changed
parts of the engine, since all regularly maintained pieces should already
use tabs.
