Since there is no way to mark parameters as [potentially] unused in
standard C and when using MSVC compiler, use the widely accepted
cast-to-void approach instead.
This way all the qualifiers (`const`, `volatile`, `mutable`) are grouped
together, e.g. `T const* const x` vs. `const T* const x`. Also helps reading
types right-to-left, e.g. "constant pointer to constant T" vs. "constant
pointer to T which is constant".
There're places where manual intervention is still required as uncrustify
is not ideal (unfortunately), but at least one may rely on it to do the
right thing most of the time (e.g. when sending in a patch).
The style itself is quite different from what we had before but making it
uniform across all the codebase is the key. I also hope that it'll make the
code more readable (YMMV) and less sensitive to further changes.
Factor out demonization implementation to platform-specific files.
Implement daemonization on Windows using service API. Improve *NIX
implementation by handling signals asynchronously to prevent potential
issues of running complex code inside the handler.
