Modifications have been made; patch in kern/14087. It produces
identical output to the new softcore.pl for my test case of
cat sys/boot/ficl/softwords/*.fr
People (more) familiar with ficl syntax might like to craft some
awkward constructs and check that I'm handling them legally.
Note that the script contains one gawk-ism (use of strftime() to
include a cosmetic "last update" comment in the generated
softcore.c). In my opinion, this should be eliminated -- it seems
like a needless GNUism to me.
gawk(1) says that the use of the character class [[:space:]] is
consistent with POSIX 1003.2 (and I have no reason to disbelieve
it). However, [[:space:]] also seems to be frequently misunderstood
by other common awks, so it might also be considered a candidate for
removal in the interests of portability. The alternative is a bit
messier, though, and not necessarily portable across different
locales.
