Hi list, I've recently coded and added a new tool, which I needed in other Barry development in the Desktop GUI side of things.
The new tool is called btarcmp, which is intented to be a diff for Barry tar backup files. Let me know if you find bugs or have suggestions for this tool. Also, in writing this tool, I had a need to access all record fields in a programmatic way. For btarcmp, I wanted to compare them, but I could see times when just being able to say "do X to all fields in Contact" would be very useful. And so the FieldHandle<> template system was born. If you call a record class's GetFieldHandles() member (and only if you call it) it will create a vector of field handles that describe all the fields. You can then create a functor class which can be called for each field in the list. It is documented in the doxygen docs, so I won't go into detail here. There is an english description for each of the fields as well. This brings with it the opportunity to have localized language support for field descriptions, directly in the library, in the field handles. Would this be useful? Nicolas? Could you take a look at the docs and code and let me know if this is a good spot for translations? Also, I'd appreciate if people would grab the latest git tree and compile it for their systems, and for their locales, before I release version 0.18 (planned for next month). Nicolas, there's a new string in the backup GUI, which could use a French translation.
