TestTableTemplate declares SetRefresh and Init but never defines them; both
exist only as explicit specialisations, one set per table, at the bottom of
FacilityProduction.cpp and MilitiaWebsite.cpp.
That is too late for tables 3 and 4. Both files call SetRefresh on their
table hundreds of lines above the specialisation, and a call is a point of
instantiation, so the compiler has already committed to instantiating the
primary template by the time the specialisation shows up. A specialisation
declared after the first use that would instantiate it is ill-formed; MSVC
takes it anyway, clang-cl reports
error: explicit specialization of 'SetRefresh' after instantiation
Declaring the specialisations after the includes fixes it. Tables 1 and 2 are
only ever reached through the base class pointer, so they were not diagnosed,
but they are declared alongside the others rather than left to depend on that.
The definitions stay where they are.
Each of these says again, outside the class, what the class already declares:
template <int N>
void TestTableTemplate<N>::SetRefresh();
SetRefresh and Init are declared as members a few dozen lines above, so these
add nothing. A member named out of line has to be a definition; MSVC lets the
declaration through, clang does not.
None of the three templates ever defines these members generically. Every
instantiation supplies its own, as an explicit specialization next to the
screen that uses it, and those are untouched:
template<> void DropDownTemplate<DROPDOWNNR_APPEARANCE>::SetRefresh()
{ gfIMPPrejudice_Redraw = TRUE; }
The mpSelf lines that follow each of these look similar but are definitions of
a static data member, so they stay.
Verification:
grep -rn 'Template<N>::' --include=*.h Laptop/ # only mpSelf definitions
ninja -C build parse # out-of-line class gone: 28 -> 24 sites
ninja -C build -k 0 # Release, four applications, green

PostalService.h names every type twice, once plainly and once as a reference:
RefToDestinationStruct is DestinationStruct&, RefToShipmentList is
ShipmentList&. That scheme was extended to the iterators, and there it does
not work. Every one of the seventeen uses looks like this:
RefToShipmentListIterator sli = _Shipments.begin();
begin() returns a value, so this binds a non-const reference to a temporary.
MSVC allows it as an extension; the temporary still dies at the end of the
full expression, which leaves sli referring to a dead object for the whole
rest of the function. It works only because nothing has reused the stack slot
yet. clang rejects it outright.
Iterators are already handles into their container, so a reference to one buys
nothing: the plain typedef says exactly what these seventeen variables want to
be. DESTINATION and SHIPMENT now take theirs by value, which changes nothing
for either, as both only dereference the iterator they are given.
Two of the reference typedefs, RefToDestinationDeliveryInfoTableIterator and
RefToDeliveryCallbackDataListIterator, had no uses at all. They are removed
rather than left behind, since their only possible use is the pattern this
commit removes.
Verification:
grep -rn 'RefTo[A-Za-z]*Iterator' --include=*.cpp --include=*.h . # nothing
ninja -C build parse # bind-to-temporary class gone: 91 -> 60 sites
ninja -C build -k 0 # Release, four applications, green
ninja -C build-debug -k 0 # Debug, four applications, green

A braced initialiser does not allow a narrowing conversion unless the value
is a constant expression the compiler can prove fits. Every site here holds a
runtime value: WORLD_COLS is the global guiWorldCols, the laptop screen
coordinates are built from iScreenWidthOffset, the sector limits come from the
externalised options. MSVC accepts all of it silently; clang rejects it, and
it is ill-formed.
Nothing about the generated code changes. MSVC was already performing these
conversions; the casts only say so out loud, at the 73 places where it was
happening implicitly.
The invariant: each site is wrapped in a static_cast to the element type the
initialiser already had, and nothing else is touched. No type is widened, no
expression is reassociated, no value is clamped or checked. static_cast rather
than a C-style cast so that a later reader can grep for the narrowings, and so
that none of these can quietly become a reinterpret_cast if a type changes.
Verification:
# every changed line differs only by inserted casts and their parentheses
git show HEAD -U0 | grep '^[+-][^+-]' |
sed -E 's/static_cast<[A-Za-z0-9_]+>//g; s/[()]//g; s/^[+-]//' |
sort | uniq -c | awk '$1 % 2' # no output
git show HEAD -U0 | grep -c '^+[^+]' # 38 lines, 73 casts
ninja -C build parse # narrowing class gone: 129 -> 91 sites
ninja -C build -k 0 # Release, four applications, green
ninja -C build-debug -k 0 # Debug, four applications, green

InitializeFileDatabase, the only reader of gGameLibaries[], is called
nowhere in the tree — VFS replaced this legacy loader. Delete the
7 #ifdef GERMAN/POLISH/DUTCH/ITALIAN/RUSSIAN/FRENCH/CHINESE entries
outright rather than runtime-selecting them.
NPC.h: two commented-out #if defined(CRIPPLED_VERSION)||defined(RUSSIAN)
triplets. AimMembers.cpp: two commented-out #ifdef POLISH character-remap
switch blocks. All already-dead. Verify grep for language macros outside
i18n/ now returns only unrelated hits (filename literal, dev-tool CLI flag,
stray comment, historical prose) — no #ifdef guards left.

squashed into a single commit because doing it in steps that all
compiled involved a lot of boilerplate that is pointless to commit to
the repository. GH still has the PR for reference.
g_lang, MAX_MESSAGES_ON_MAP_BOTTOM, and GetLanguagePrefix() were
compile-time constants selected by the ENGLISH/GERMAN/... build
define. They're now runtime, defaulting to the same per-exe value the
define used to pick, and overridable at startup from [Ja2 Settings]
LANGUAGE in Ja2.ini.
-
XMLTacticalMessages is filled at runtime from NewTacticalMessages.xml,
never from compiled-in per-language data: all 8 per-language definitions
were the identical all-zero { L"" }. Delete them and define one shared
buffer in Utils/XML_Language.cpp (the loader) instead of pointer-rebinding
it like the static tables — this drops 9 dead 800KB zero-buffers (8
namespaced copies in LanguageStrings.cpp plus the standalone one) and
leaves no bind-ordering hazard for the XML load path.
-
ExportStrings.cpp privately recompiled one language's full text table
by #including the raw _<LANG>Text.cpp inside namespace Loc, keyed off
the exe-level ENGLISH/GERMAN/... compile macro (whichever the build
happened to select). That's redundant with the pointer globals every
other subsystem already uses (Text.h / LanguageStrings.cpp).
Drop the private copy; the unqualified table names in Loc::ExportStrings
now resolve to the global pointer externs, which BindLanguageStrings has
already rebound to the runtime g_lang by the time this runs (EXPORT_STRINGS
ini flag, checked after GetRuntimeSettings in sgp.cpp). gs_Lang (used only
by Loc::Translate for the Polish/Russian byte remap on raw .edt exports) is
now derived from g_lang via ToLocLanguage, so the export always matches
whatever language is actually active instead of a compile-time pick.
-
Editor/popupmenu.cpp and Strategic/Scheduling.cpp kept their own
call-site extern of gszScheduleActions as CHAR16[NUM_SCHEDULE_ACTIONS][20]
after the real definition changed into a rebindable pointer
(CHAR16 (*)[20], LanguageStrings.cpp). MSVC decays the outer array
dimension when mangling globals, so both declarations produce the same
symbol (?gszScheduleActions@@3PAY0BE@_WA) and the mismatch linked
silently -- but the array-typed TUs then indexed the 4-byte pointer
slot itself as string data, so the editor schedule popup and the map
schedule message text read garbage.
-
add text.def to be single-source of truth on symbol names and use it
.much simpler, less error prone if adding more strings
-
add pseudo interface for language state. MAX_SAGES_ON_BOTTOM must always
change in lockstep with g_lang. this isn't foolproof but better

Emails from new GameDir file TableData/Email/Emails.xml can be added via lua scripting using calls to AddEmailFromXML & AddPreReadEmailFromXML. The order of emails in Emails.xml acts as the index to be referenced and provided when calling lua functions.
An error message will be displayed if an email is added with an out-of-scope index but game will be able to continue.
Localization is supported and was tested on Chinese localization.
there is no start button, this just controls whether to draw the four
buttons in the Personnel tab of the laptop or not
also get rid of lying comments
also make it static, laptop.cpp doesn't use it at all
