Subject: RE: Plumbing changes [moved from john-users]
I wonder if this could be done:
Add some code in Makefile (or build a script that is run by a rule in
Makefile), using grep and sed or awk to pull the names of the format
structures, and possibly even the names of the format 'signatures', out of
the *_fmt.c files ? In this way, there would be few, or no format
structures in john.c (or the options.c), and would be a .h file 'built' by
the maker, similar to how arch.h is made (but MUCH more complex than a
simple cp command).
I know a lot of this type stuff is done by ./configure, but since we do not
have that, this may also be a method of getting this volatile data, and
totally eliminate patch collisions, since no one has to code to these patch
hot spots any more.
Jim.
