Can we please keep the discussion still here? Gerrit may be fine for pointing out technical details in the code, but it's not very suitable for discussions about anything beyond that. - There's no need for valueOfChar(). There is already OUString ctor from sal_Unicode, so the valueOf() overload for it is just making an obvious thing complicated. Code using it can be converted to use the ctor instead. - It's a question if we really need 'OUString::valueOfBool( foo )' instead of simply 'foo ? OUString( "true" ) : OUString( "false" )' (such a pity the string literals handling doesn't allow "foo ? "true" : "false"' ). I wonder how many places in the code really need to convert a boolean to the hardcoded english string representation. - When more or less deprecating valueOf() this way, it has also float overloads, so something should be created for those too. - I'm still not sold on the naming, OUString::valueInt() doesn't say much and OUString::valueOfInt() feels cryptic. Can we please use something obvious that doesn't need decyphering, such as OUString::number() or OUString::fromInt() (as much as I still don't like the idea of harcoding the irrelevant type information in the name)?

I expect it won't, regular expressions can't tell what foo is in "valueOf( foo )". Unless all you want to convert is only places which do the explicit cast, this will need a (fairly simple) Clang plugin. -- Lubos Lunak l.lu...@suse.cz _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
