Cproto is a program that generates function prototypes and variable
declarations from C source code. It can also convert function definitions
between the old style and the ANSI C style. This conversion overwrites the
original files, so make a backup copy of your files in case something goes
wrong.
The program isn't confused by complex function definitions as much as other
prototype generators because it uses a yacc generated parser. By ignoring all
the input between braces, I avoided implementing the entire C language grammar.
Cproto is in the public domain, except for the configure script which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. If you have any comments
or find any bugs, please let me know.
devel/cproto: Update 4.7y => 4.8
Changelog:
2026/05/12 (4.8)
- modify --with-trace option to separate it from doalloc(), which is now
a configure option --enable-doalloc
- add __int128 and other gcc extensions to keywords (Debian #1121161)
- improve configure script checks, reducing warnings
- update config.guess, config.sub
https://invisible-island.net/cproto/CHANGES.html#index-t20260512
Also drops files/patch-system.h, which is obsoleted by AC_PROG_CPP
in upstream's configure.in. autoconf now detects "cc -E" on FreeBSD
at configure-time and writes it into config.h, which is semantically
better than the hardcoded /usr/bin/cpp the downstream patch provided.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:
- Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Update cproto to 4.7e.
Changes:
- eliminate some fixed limits on buffer sizes (prompted by FreeBSD port).
- eliminate fixed limit on include nesting.
- use configure check for mkstemp(), use that function in preference to
mktemp() if a working version is found.
- move strstr.c into strkey.c to avoid zero-length object
- improve configure check for gcc version, from ncurses.
- update config.guess, config.sub
