More generally, clean-up the various batch files we have.
scripts/mdb.bat.in:
Ensure that the value of MERCURY_DEBUGGER_INIT environment variable does
*not* include double quotes, otherwise the path to the mdbrc file will
be incorrect.
scripts/*.bat.in:
Require command extensions to be enabled. This is the default on
all Windows systems we support; explicitly enabling them is just in case
the user turns them off for some reason.
Don't disable echoing twice.
Quote the entire argument to the set command; this should avoid double
quotes ending up where we don't want them.
Update copyright notices.
Branches: 11.07, main
Improve and update documentation of the MSVC port.
Add batch files for invoking mdb and mprof; avoid problem with mercury.bat.
README.MS-VisualC:
Rewrite this file, it was very much out-of-date.
The major changes are:
+ we now describe how to set up a Cygwin or MSYS shell
with MSVC available.
+ the source distribution now works with MSVC.
+ a list of the limitations of the MSVC port has been added.
+ a description of how to set up the compiler so that it
works from the Windows command prompt has been added.
scripts/mercury/mercury.bat.in:
Delete support for the MERCURY_COMPILER and MERCURY_CONFIG_DIR
enviorment variables; the handling of them in this batch file
doesn't appear to be portable across different versions of
Windows and it's more important that this file work in the
normal case. (Keeping it simple is the way to ensure this.)
scripts/mdb.bat.in:
scripts/mprof.bat.in:
Templates for invoking mdb and mprof on Windows.
(I'm not sure how to reproduce all the functionality of the mdb
script in a batch file, so the command line options provided by
the mdb script aren't currently replicated here.)
configure.in:
scripts/Mmakefile:
Add the new batch files.
scripts/Mercury.config.in:
Use the Windows-style installation prefix on Cygwin systems.
browser/util.m:
Use the conventional name for the I/O state.
Use don't-care variables for the I/O state in foreign procs.
This avoids suprious warnings from MSVC.
