Function hyperlinking at 100% (?)

For ages, the function-linking feature of the src/*.c pages was broken and incomplete. Finally, all files from the src/ subdirectory have had their function definitions identified, and when you click on a function call, it *should* link you to the relevant function definition. If you see a function call not marked or a link not properly working (for example, sending you to the respective function in the 3.4.3 source), please make the relevant edit or hit me up, dizzylizzy in #nethackwiki on Freenode. It's been a long time coming and now it's all pretty. Props to DizzyBot for being a champ.

Nethack software architecture

I'd like to see something that gives an overview of how the different source files work together. I'd like to see a diagram of the software architecture of Nethack. I'd be happy to work on a page like that, for my own understanding. I suppose a computer scientist could frame this question in a better way. Does this make sense? Where to start?

Here's a snapshot of a mind map of the *.c files, what do you think? The map itself expands to show the *.h files, I can post that later. Wikid (talk) 19:57, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Syntax highlight

Looks like this Mediawiki version allready supports C syntax highlight:

void
 newedog(mtmp)
 struct monst *mtmp;
 {
     if (!mtmp->mextra)
         mtmp->mextra = newmextra();
     if (!EDOG(mtmp)) {
         EDOG(mtmp) = (struct edog *) alloc(sizeof(struct edog));
         (void) memset((genericptr_t) EDOG(mtmp), 0, sizeof(struct edog));
     }
 }

How could we have the annotated source code look like that? It would be so much easier to read!

Why this page is versioned

I put a {{nethack-367}} template on this page. This page itself has NetHack 3.6.1, but it links to the "latest NetHack source" on nethack.org. What's more, many other pages link to this page, telling the reader to come to this page to get the latest sources. So whenever devteam makes a new release, we have to update this page.
