On MSVC (not with GCC/clang), adding `static` changes the mangled symbol name, so we shouldn't add that when building with NDEBUG. On GCC/clang, it doesn't, but adding `const` does, and C++11 rules make `constexpr` methods implicitly `const`, so I've removed the `constexpr` variants from NotifyCategoryProxy for now. Hopefully the compiler is still smart enough to compile out any references when compiling with NDEBUG.
Previously it was only possible to set this in the default-loaded Config.prc file; now it is possible to set this at any time, though it can only be set once from its default value and not changed after it has already been set to something other than the default value.
This happens if load_dso fails due to being unable to find the file, but not setting the dlerror flag and therefore causing a misleading error message to be shown.
The main motivation behind this change is to get rid of a
signed integer overflow that sometimes happens in the prime
multiplication step, which is (per the C++ spec) undefined
behavior. However, it's probably for the best to use only
unsigned int when the function is clearly trying to avoid
negative values.
Not that I suspect it matters much, but I have also heavily
tested that the behavior of the function is unchanged (at
least on PC hardware - signed integer overflow doesn't
behave portably) although it may now be slightly faster due
to the fact that I have removed the floating-point math.
This is used similar to matches() but for file paths: it does not match slashes for * characters and has special support for /**/ and ignores // and /./ patterns.
Even a brief error message in the assertion is infinitely more useful to a user who is not at home in the source code, especially for assertions that may reasonably be triggered by honest user mistakes.
