For example,when - opening a given special document,and doing the addition/deletion - operations for the text of "End of Footnote" and "Start of next - page",Writer will meet serious problem.The reason is that the sample - file has an abnormal setting about footnote height.The height of - footnote is set to be a pretty tiny value: ?0.2? inch which may not - be high enough to contain a single normal text string. This setting - makes a huge barrier when formatting the document content, and - also,this document is displayed in a very strange way.For - example,each footnote can not be displayed in its own page, but in - the following page. In this case,if the text input into the text - field of "End of Footnote" or "Start of next page" is too long and - can not be displayed totally in a single page, it has to be spanned - to cross pages when formatting.Actually,the process will not affect - the document nodes structure.During said formatting process,all - footnotes will be reorganized within multi-frames.In order to deal - with the multi-lines of the footnote, a method named - SwFlowFrm::PasteTree(...) will be executed to connect all text - strings inside a single footnote.Please refer to the code segment. - ... else { if ( 0 == (pStart->pPrev = pParent->Lower()) ) - pParent->pLower = pStart; else pParent->Lower()->pNext = - pStart; } ... Said code will move a sub tree whose root is ?pStart? - into the node ?pParent? as a child.If the "pParent" does not have any - child,the "pStart" will be the only child of it.And if the "pParent" - has already a child, the "pStart" will be the sibling child.But if - the "pParent" has more than one child nodes,the former child node and - its sibling nodes will lost their relationships to the whole tree. - Thus,any modification of the tree will not affect the former child - node and its sibling nodes any more.In this case, the content of the - ?pParent? will be moved backward again and then, the "pParent" will - be destructed later.Because the relationship of said nodes are lost, - there will be no any operation happening on those said nodes.So the - upper node pointer of such nodes is still pointing to the memory - where the ?pParent? has been in. A dangling pointer appears. Serious - problem will happen at any time. When facing such serious problems - appeared during document formatting,developers have to make the data - structure and relations clear first,and then plunge into code ocean - to trace the complex formatting process step by step,that's a real - big headache and will take too much time.And now,with the help of - this tool,developers can easily make the data structure and relations - clear and catch the destroyed data and certain structure difference - changed within certain process,especially such as formatting - process,undo/redo process and so on.Thus,developers are able to find - out the root cause quickly and work out solution in time.This tool - makes Writer developers more productive.Simultaneously,the - development of the tool and real example details will also be - introduced in this presentation.</p> - </div> - - <div class="bio"> - <p><em>Biography:</em> 1.Three years of IBM Lotus Symphony - Presentations Development,Technical Leader 2.Two years of IBM Lotus - Symphony Documents Development,Technical Leader 3.Years of OpenOffice - Study</p> - </div> - - <p><a href="wednesday.html">Back</a></p> </div><!-- End of section created by OOoCon_abstracts.php --> </div> </body> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
