Details:

Server should search for start positions in a deterministic manner instead of
current random placement. That way server would not abort because of starting
positions allocation failure nearly as often as currently.

Failures to allocate start positions can sometimes be reproduced with default
rules.

It happens constantly with Alien ruleset (
http://www.cazfi.net/freeciv/alien/ ) since there terrains native to starting
units are rare. Alien ruleset might be useful in testing rewrite of starting
position placement.

[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #1365] Add INT_TO_PTR() and PTR_TO_INT() macros

2009-11-16 Thread Marko Lindqvist 

Follow-up Comment #1, patch #1365 (project freeciv):

For namespace cleanliness their name should have FC_ prefix. Macros to
convert between pointers and integers are quite common.
