The bulk of this commit is the changes necessary to make testcrypt compile under Visual Studio. Unfortunately, I've had to remove my fiddly clever uses of C99 variadic macros, because Visual Studio does something unexpected when a variadic macro's expansion puts __VA_ARGS__ in the argument list of a further macro invocation: the commas don't separate further arguments. In other words, if you write #define INNER(x,y,z) some expansion involving x, y and z #define OUTER(...) INNER(__VA_ARGS__) OUTER(1,2,3) then gcc and clang will translate OUTER(1,2,3) into INNER(1,2,3) in the obvious way, and the inner macro will be expanded with x=1, y=2 and z=3. But try this in Visual Studio, and you'll get the macro parameter x expanding to the entire string 1,2,3 and the other two empty (with warnings complaining that INNER didn't get the number of arguments it expected). It's hard to cite chapter and verse of the standard to say which of those is _definitely_ right, though my reading leans towards the gcc/clang behaviour. But I do know I can't depend on it in code that has to compile under both! So I've removed the system that allowed me to declare everything in testcrypt.h as FUNC(ret,fn,arg,arg,arg), and now I have to use a different macro for each arity (FUNC0, FUNC1, FUNC2 etc). Also, the WRAPPED_NAME system is gone (because that too depended on the use of a comma to shift macro arguments along by one), and now I put a custom C wrapper around a function by simply re-#defining that function's own name (and therefore the subsequent code has to be a little more careful to _not_ pass functions' names between several macros before stringifying them). That's all a bit tedious, and commits me to a small amount of ongoing annoyance because now I'll have to add an explicit argument count every time I add something to testcrypt.h. But then again, perhaps it will make the code less incomprehensible to someone trying to understand it! |

PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
--------------------------------
The PuTTY home web site is

Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature
requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or
in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report
bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to
save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports
telling us `it doesn't work'.
