1. The combination \z\h is a no-op whatever the argument may be.
In the past, the \z only affected the first space character generated
by the \h, which was wrong.
2. For the conbination \zX\h with a positive argument, the first
space resulting from the \h is not printed but consumed by the \z.
3. For the combination \zX\h with a negative argument, application
of the \z needs to be completed before the \h can be started.
In the past, if this combination occurred at the beginning of an
output line, the \h backed up to the beginning of the line and
after that, the \z attempted to back up even further, triggering
an assertion.
Bugs found during an audit of assignments to termp->col that i
started after the bugfix tbl_term.c rev. 1.65. The assertion
triggered by bug 3 was *not* yet found by afl(1).

This is needed because the TERMP_MULTICOL mode is designed such
that term_tbl() buffers all the cells of the table row before the
normal reset logic near the end of term_flushln() can be reached.
This fixes an assertion failure triggered by \z near the end
of a table cell, found by tb@ using afl(1).

another enclosing .while loop at the same time.
Instead, postpone the closing until the next iteration of ROFF_RERUN.
This prevents one-line constructions like ".while 0 .while 0 something"
and ".while rx .while rx .rr x" (which admittedly aren't particularly
useful) from dying of abort(3), which was a bug tb@ found with afl(1).

do not skip closing the table and cleaning up memory at the end of the
table in the HTML output module.
This bug resulted in skipping the tblcalc() function and reusing
the existing roffcol array for the next tbl(7) processed. If the
next table had more columns than the one ending with a horizontal
line in the last data row, uninitialized memory was read, potentially
resulting in near-infinite output.
The bug was introduced in rev. 1.29 (2018/11/26) but only fully exposed
by rev. 1.38 (2021/09/09). Until rev. 1.37, it could only cause
misformatting and invalid HTML output syntax but not huge output
because up to that point, the function did not use the roffcol array.
Nasty bug found the hard way by Michael Stapelberg on the production
server manpages.debian.org. Michael also supplied example files
and excellent instructions how to reproduce the bug, which was very
difficult because no real-world manual page is known that triggers
the bug by itself, so to reproduce the bug, mandoc(1) had to be
invoked with at least two file name arguments.

we must not reset the recursion counter when moving beyond the end
of the *previous* expansion, but we may only do so when moving
beyond the rightmost position reached by *any* expansion in the
current equation. This matters because definitions can nest;
consider:
.EQ
define inner "content"
define outer "inner outer"
outer
.EN
This endless loop was found by tb@ using afl(1).
Incidentally, GNU eqn(1) also performs an infinite loop in this
situation and then crashes when memory runs out, but that's not an
excuse for nasty behaviour of mandoc(1).
While here, consistently print the expanded content even when the
expansion is finally truncated. While that is not likely to help
end-users, it may help authors of eqn(7) code to understand what's
going on. Besides, it sends a very clear signal that something is
amiss, which was easy to miss in the past unless people
enabled -W error or used -T lint.

whatsoever and ends with a broken next-line scope. Obviously, this
cannot happen in a real manual page, but mandoc(1) should not die
even when fed absurd input.

beginning of an escape sequence: \, \E, \EE, \EEE, and so on all do
the same outside copy mode, so let them do the same in mandoc(1), too.
This fixes an assertion failure triggered by \EE*X that tb@ found
with afl(1). The first E was consumed by roff_expand(), but that
function failed to recognize the escape sequence as the expansion
of a user-defined string and handed it over to mandoc_escape(),
which consumed the second E and then died on an assertion because
it is not prepared to handle user-defined strings. Fix this by
letting *both* functions handle arbitrary numbers of 'E's correctly.

is no need to establish a new block formatting context with "flow-root",
and in fact that's detrimental because it appears to introduce spurious
soft-wrap opportunities.

and man(1), without restricting that statement to "man -k".
Suggested by and patch OK'ed by jmc@.
While only apropos(1) and whatis(1) strictly require the database
and while our man(1) implementation can find many manual pages even
when no database is available or when the database is incomplete or
corrupt, it does use the database even without -k whenever possible.
Consequently, this change makes the manual page less confusing.

It feels more natural to me to use -a directly when asking mandoc(1)
to use a pager. The reason that "mandoc -l" does exactly the same
as "mandoc -a" is that "mandoc" is essentially "man -lc", so the -a
implied by -l negates the -c and the -l has no effect because it is
already the default for mandoc(1).
The more usual command for doing the same is "man -l foo.1 bar.1 ..."
but that's off-topic for the mandoc(1) manual page.

because all of the following hold:
* It is an alias for a part of an ancient standard that is no longer important.
* To refer to that old standard, -xpg4.2 is readily available and portable.
* It is unused in OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and NetBSD.
* Groff never supported it.
I agreed with G. Branden Robinson that deleting this from mandoc
is preferable to adding it to groff.

making the mansearch() function easier to read for human auditors.
No functional change on OpenBSD.
As observed by Mark Millard <marklmi at yahoo dot com>, neither the
latest version of POSIX 2008 nor C11 defines what qsort(3) should do
for base == NULL && nmemb == 0.
My impression is it is indeed undefined behaviour because the
standards say that base shall point to an array, NULL does not point
to an array, and while there is special wording saying that compar()
shall not be called if nmemb == 0, i fail to see any similar wording
stating that base shall not be accessed if nmemb == 0.
Consequently, this patch is also likely to improve standard conformance
and portability.

two character sequence "\_" or "\=", a single or double horizontal
line is supposed to be drawn inside the cell, not joining its
neighbours.
I am not aware of any way to do that with HTML and/or CSS.
Still, it seems closer to the intent of the document author to draw
a horizontal line with <hr/>, even though that line will join the
neighbour cells, rather than printing a literal '_' or '=' character.

For open/openat, if the flags parameter does not contain O_CREAT, the
3rd (variadic) mode_t parameter is irrelevant. Many developers in the past
have passed mode_t (0, 044, 0644, or such), which might lead future people
to copy this broken idiom, and perhaps even believe this parameter has some
meaning or implication or application. Delete them all.
This comes out of a conversation where tb@ noticed that a strange (but
intentional) pledge behaviour is to always knock-out high-bits from
mode_t on a number of system calls as a safety factor, and his bewilderment
that this appeared to be happening against valid modes (at least visually),
but no sorry, they are all irrelevant junk. They could all be 0xdeafbeef.

A comment in the code claimed that the list of spans would be sorted,
but the sorting did not actually work. The layout "LSSS,LLSL" resulted
in the list "0-3, 1-2", whereas the layout "LLSL,LSSS" resulted
in the list "1-2, 0-3". Since sorting serves no purpose, just leave
the list unsorted.

after processing each name given on the command line.
Failure to do so resulted in a memory leak of about 50 kilobytes
per name given on the command line. Since man(1) uses a few
Megabytes of memory anyway and people rarely give hundreds of names
on the command line, this leak did not cause practical problems,
but cleaning up properly is better in any case.

Call this function from the proper place in term_free().
With the way the module is currently used, this does not imply any
functional change, but doing proper cleanup is more robust, makes
it easier during code review to understand what is going on, and
makes it explicit that there is no memory leak.

a user-defined macro. Calls of standard mdoc(7) and man(7) macros
were unaffected, so the effect on OpenBSD manual pages was small,
about 80 Kilobytes grand total for a full run of "makewhatis
/usr/share/man".
Argument expansion contexts for user-defined macros are stored on
a stack that grows as needed if calls of user-defined macros are
nested or recursive. Individual stack entries contain dynamically
allocated arrays of pointers to arguments; these argument arrays
also grow as needed if user-defined macros take more than eight
arguments. The mistake was that argument arrays of already
initialized expansion contexts were leaked rather than reused on
subsequent macro calls.
I found this issue in a systematic hunt for memory leaks after
Michael <Stapelberg at Debian> reported memory exhaustion problems
on the production server manpages.debian.org. This sub-Megabyte
leak is not the cause of Michael's trouble, though, where Gigabytes
of memory are being wasted. We are still investigating whether the
original problem may be related to his supervisor process, which is
written in Go, rather than to mandoc.

reported by Michael <Stapelberg at Debian> in the Linux md(4) manual.
The reason the colwidth[] array is needed is not that it stores widths
different from those in tbl->cols[].width, but that only part of the
columns participate in the comparisons, i.e. only those intersecting
at least one span the still requires width distribution.

For HTML generation, the "mandoc" prerequisite isn't needed anyway
because ${WWW_MANS} already explicitly depends on mandoc.
Issue reported by Sevan Janiyan and Leah Neukirchen.
This is not critical for release because it is only used for
a maintainer target. While here, i also fixed the associated
shell command to use the freshly built mandoc binary rather
than whatever may be in the $PATH.
