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.
GCC 7.x does some extended checks on fallthough for switch/case
statement. The warning looks like this:
warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]
It can be told about implicit fallthough, however it does not
recognize comments within blocks, so move the comments outside.
* Performance improvements
* Support for splitting CPU meters into two or four columns
(thanks to Wim Heirman)
* Switch from PLPA, which is now deprecated, to HWLOC.
* Bring back support for native Linux sched_setaffinity,
so we don't have to use HWLOC where we don't need to.
* Support for typing in user names and column fields in selection panels.
