| | | *************************************************************************************** |
| | | |
| | | This section details how to add new fields/flags to an object structure. |
| | | |
| | | 1) Send mail to the development list to make sure that a new element is really |
| | | added. |
| | | |
| | | For flags: |
| | | |
| | | 2) Update the FLAG_.. entries in include/define.h for your new flag. Recycle unused |
| | | values if possible - there may be cases where you want to group the new flags together. |
| | | If you are adding beyond the end of the existing values, update the NUM_FLAGS entry |
| | | |
| | | 3) Decide the name of your flag as loaded/saved in objects. The default syntax is |
| | | the name you assigned in step 2 above, minus the leading flag_ part. |
| | | |
| | | 4) In the common/loader.l, update the load section (where the code is mostly ^value |
| | | SET_OR_CLEAR(...)) add your entries in. |
| | | |
| | | 5) update the flag_names in common/loader.l. The location of your names _must_ be |
| | | in the same array location as the FLAG_ value. |
| | | |
| | | 6) Update other areas of the code that you presumably know about that will use these |
| | | flag values. |
| | | |
| | | 7) As appropriate, update the arch files and rebuild. |
