Reasoning:
- implementation was unsound -- broke down when I added a fairly
basic macro definition expanding to a struct initializer in a *.c
file.
- made it way too easy (e.g. via otherwise totally innocuous git
commands) to end up with timestamps such that it always ran
MakeHeader.py but never used its output, leading to overbuild noise
when running what should be a null 'make'.
- but mostly: it's just an awkward way of dealing with C code.
Promote the Arg union to a core data type in Object.c such
that it is visible everywhere (many source files need it),
and correct declarations of several functions that use it.
The Process_sendSignal function is also corrected to have
the expected return type (bool, not void) - an error being
masked by ignoring this not-quite-harmless warning. I've
also added error checking to the kill(2) call here, which
was previously overlooked / missing (?).
A logic mistake in pull request #746 causes <sys/sysmacro.h> to be
*not* included when AC_HEADER_MAJOR (before autoconf-2.70) finds
'major' in <sys/types.h>. Though this would still build htop, it would
still bring deprecation warning in systems using glibc 2.25-2.27. Fix
the logic and suppress the warning.
Also, include config.h in Process.c for the sake of strengthening the
code.

glibc 2.28 no longer defines 'major' and 'minor' in <sys/types.h> and
requires us to include <sys/sysmacros.h>. (glibc 2.25 starts
deprecating the macros in <sys/types.h>.) Now do include the latter if
found on the system.
At the moment, let's also utilize AC_HEADER_MAJOR in configure script.
However as Autoconf 2.69 has not yet updated the AC_HEADER_MAJOR macro
to reflect the glibc change [1], so add a workaround code.
Fixes#663. Supersedes pull request #729.

Linux commit 06eb61844d841d0032a9950ce7f8e783ee49c0d0 ("sched/debug:
Add explicit TASK_IDLE printing") exposes kthreads idling using
TASK_IDLE in procfs as "I (idle)".
Until now, when sorting the STATE ("S") column, htop used the raw
value of the state character for comparison, however that led to the
undesirable effect of TASK_IDLE ('I') tasks being sorted above tasks
that were running ('R').
Thus, explicitly recognize the idle process state, and sort it below
others.
This is/was necessary only on macOS, because you needed root in order
to read the process list. This was never necessary on Linux, and
it also raises security concerns, so now it needs to be enabled
explicitly at build time.
In all the cases where sprintf was being used within htop, snprintf
could have been used. This patch replaces all uses of sprintf with
snprintf which makes sure that if a buffer is too small to hold the
resulting string, the string is simply cut short instead of causing
a buffer overflow which leads to undefined behaviour.
`sizeof(variable)` was used in these cases, as opposed to `sizeof
variable` which is my personal preference because `sizeof(variable)`
was already used in one way or another in other parts of the code.
BFS-patched kernels can have kernel threads with priority -101.
This change makes priority -101 display as "RT", just like priority -100.

on Darwin, htop needs to run with root privileges to display information
about other users processes. This commit makes running htop SUID root a
bit more safe.
Add a setting to hide all but the last component from the programme
path, leaving only the "basename". Makes htop more usable on smaller
screens, or systems with longer than average paths. Off by default.
"Highlight program basename" will still be respected, to further
visually separate process names from their arguments.
