kconfig/nconf: Initialize the default locale at startup

2025-12-01T10:41:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 43c2931a95e6b295bfe9e3b90dbe0f7596933e91 ] Fix bug where make nconfig doesn't initialize the default locale, which causes ncurses menu borders to be displayed incorrectly (lqqqqk) in UTF-8 terminals that don't support VT100 ACS by default, such as PuTTY.

kconfig: nconf: Ensure null termination where strncpy is used

2025-08-28T14:28:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit f468992936894c9ce3b1659cf38c230d33b77a16 ] strncpy() does not guarantee null-termination if the source string is longer than the destination buffer. Ensure the buffer is explicitly null-terminated to prevent potential string overflows or undefined behavior.

kconfig: nconf: Add search jump feature

2023-08-13T12:29:41+00:00

Menuconfig has a feature where you can "press the key in the (#) prefix to jump directly to that location. You will be returned to the current search results after exiting this new menu." This commit adds this feature to nconfig, with almost identical code. Signed-off-by: Jesse Taube Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Tested-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: nconf: stop endless search loops

2021-04-16T05:39:12+00:00

If the user selects the very first entry in a page and performs a search-up operation, or selects the very last entry in a page and performs a search-down operation that will not succeed (e.g., via [/]asdfzzz[Up Arrow]), nconf will never terminate searching the page. The reason is that in this case, the starting point will be set to -1 or n, which is then translated into (n - 1) (i.e., the last entry of the page) or 0 (i.e., the first entry of the page) and finally the search begins. This continues to work fine until the index reaches 0 or (n - 1), at which point it will be decremented to -1 or incremented to n, but not checked against the starting point right away. Instead, it's wrapped around to the bottom or top again, after which the starting point check occurs... and naturally fails. My original implementation added another check for -1 before wrapping the running index variable around, but Masahiro Yamada pointed out that the actual issue is that the comparison point (starting point) exceeds bounds (i.e., the [0,n-1] interval) in the first place and that, instead, the starting point should be fixed. This has the welcome side-effect of also fixing the case where the starting point was n while searching down, which also lead to an infinite loop. OTOH, this code is now essentially all his work. Amazingly, nobody seems to have been hit by this for 11 years - or at the very least nobody bothered to debug and fix this. Signed-off-by: Mihai Moldovan Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: nconf: refactor in print_in_middle()

2021-04-14T06:25:43+00:00

This helper is the same as the sample code in the NCURSES HOWTO [1], but it is over-engineering to be used for nconf. I do not see any good reason to use the 'float' type just for the division by 2. All the call-sites pass a non-NULL pointer to the first argument, so 'if (win == NULL) win = stdscr;' is dead code. 'if (startx != 0) x = startx;' is dead code because 'x' will be overridden some lines below, by 'x = startx + (int)temp;'. All the call-sites pass a non-zero value to the second argument, so 'if (starty != 0)' is always true. getyx(win, y, x) is also dead-code because both 'y' and 'x' are overridden. All the call-sites pass 0 to the third parameter, so 'startx' can be removed. All the call-sites pass a non-zero value to the fourth parameter, so 'if (width == 0) width = 80;' is dead code. The window will be refreshed later, so there is no need to call refresh() in this function. Change the type of the last parameter from 'chtype' to 'int' to be aligned with the prototype, 'int wattrset(WINDOW *win, int attrs);' I also slightly cleaned up the indentation style.

kconfig: nconf: refactor attributes setup code

2021-04-14T06:25:13+00:00

The current attributes setup code is strange; the array attribute[] is set to values outside the range of the attribute_t enum. At least, attributes_t attributes[ATTR_MAX+1] = {0}; ... should be int attribute[ATTR_MAX+1] = {0}; Also, there is no need to hard-code the color-pair numbers in attributes_t. The current code is messy. Rewrite it. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
