Reduces memory by a tiny bit. Arguably we never needed tombstones
because entries are never removed, so there shouldn't be any performance
hit there. We don't even need a 'used' flag either, considering that can
be represented by a NULL value, but I'm not really up for
implementing/modifying my own hash table.

This is a best-effort approach to save ncdu state when memory is low.
There's likely allocation in libraries that isn't being checked
(ncurses, printf).
Fixes#132 (it actually doesn't, that needs a 64bit static binary too,
but I'll get to that)
This allocation is currently leaked, but as long as we don't allocate
new ones for each refresh, that shouldn't be much of an issue.

This adds an 'm' command to show the latest modified time of all files
in a directory. The 'M' command allows for ascending and descending
mtime sorting. These are only enabled with the -e flag and overload
the dir_ext mtime field.
I had taken care to not sort empty directories during dirlist_open(),
but forgot that manual user actions can still cause dirlist_set_sort()
to be called, which does not handle empty directories.
Reported by Alex Wilson.
'char' may be unsigned on some architectures, which will cause the
"overflow check" on decrement to fail.
This would at most result in a confusing UI issue where no confirmation
option appears to be selected.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a single bit free in struct dir.flags, so I
had to increase its size to 16 bit. This commit is just the initial
preparation, there's still a few things to do:
- Add "extended information" cli flag to enable/disable this
functionality.
- Export and import extended information when requested
- Do something with the data.
I also did a few memory measurements on a file list with 12769842 items:
before this commit: 1.239 GiB
without extended info: 1.318 GiB
with extended info: 1.698 GiB
It's surprising what adding a single byte to a struct can do to the
memory usage. :(
Fixes https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu/bug/103
I don't think a stack overflow as a result of recursion is exploitable
on a modern system. It should just result in an unfortunate write to a
page that is not writable, followed by a crash.
I've decided not to use ls-like file name coloring for now, instead just
coloring the difference between a (regular) file and a dir.
Still looking for a good color scheme for light backgrounds.
This should fix https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu/bug/99 - with the downside
that this requires a C99 compiler.
I also replaced all occurrences of static allocation of struct dir with
use dynamic allocation, because I wasn't really sure if static
allocation of flexible structs is allowed. In the case of dirlist.c the
dynamic allocation is likely required anyway, because it does store a
few bytes in the name field.
TODO:
- Add (ls-like) colors to the actual file names
-> Implement full $LS_COLORS handling or something simple and custom?
- Test on a white/black terminal, and provide an alternate color scheme
if necessary.
- Make colors opt-in?
