Some nonogram implementations allow zero clues so that a row or column with a single zero clue is equivalent to one with no clues, that is it has no black squares in it. Pattern, however, doesn't interpret them like this and treats a puzzle with a zero clue as insoluble, so it's not helpful to permit them. Permitting zero clues also confuses Pattern's memory allocation so that it can suffer a buffer overrun. As an example, before this commit a build with AddressSanitizer would report a buffer overrun with the description "1:0/0.0" because it tries to put two clues in a row that can have a maximum of one.
This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. The collection's web site is at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/>. The puzzle collection is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in the source directory: cmake . cmake --build . The manual is provided in Windows Help format for the Windows build; in text format for anyone who needs it; and in HTML for the Mac OS X application and for the web site. It is generated from a Halibut source file (puzzles.but), which is the preferred form for modification. To generate the manual in other formats, rebuild it, or learn about Halibut, visit the Halibut website at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
