Yes, that's how I am. :-) > You have made exactly 2 posts to the PLib list, both yesterday > I'll agree that you got 'one' rather curt reply from a 'self appointed' > 'overseer' of the project who FWIW IMHO generates a lot of noise > on the list but that is another story I don't know the people there. But if I get only one reply and that within about 20 hours, while there is some traffic going on on the list, then I assume that this a representative opinion and the rest of the subscribers stands behind the poster's opinion. > >(And they have a lot of such sloppy code.) > Without examples that is IMHO completely out of line and as is the case > with most Open Source projects 'worthy' patches are usually accepted :-) The wrong deletes are in my eyes sloppy. If a data type has no destructor, then using the correct "delete []" is no computing overhead and should get optimized away by the compiler. If it =has= a destructor, then using only "delete" on a vector is plain wrong. (Stroustrup told me that. :-) > Which for the record was the only 'actual' patch you have submitted > and was 'speedily' incorporated as it was as you say an actual bug, > albeit a harmless one for the current FGFS code tree. Yes, I have submitted just one patch. It contained fixes for four or five wrong "deletes", one harmful bug and one wrong index. Just the harmful bug got fixed. Why harmful? No, it didn't burn the processor or explode the monitor, but it seems to be the cause for font textures amidst the landscape when I used fgfs together with atlas. This is now gone. (But I haven't verified if this bug wasn't fixed recently without me taking notice.) So, I might have been unfair, but the behaviour of the plib list was less than acceptable for me. But this isn't an fgfs topic, anyway, so I'll shut up now. m. ;-) _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
