Hello all, I am trying to familiarize myself with the above-mentioned dependencies and wanted to know if there were plans to simplify them. In particular, the simplification would help eliminate some of the circular compilation dependencies.
For example: "Book" should only need to depend on "Instance" (ie: through its "inheritance") and then "Instance" should only depend on "Backend" (ie: through a Factory inheritance model). The "Backend" can then deal with the "File/XML", "SQL", etc... data stores required by "Instance" and "Book". Currently, it appears that "Backend" depends on "Book" to store its meta-data through "Key-Value Pair" arrays and/or Collections, including what could be considered "Run-Time Type Information"(RTTI). Perhaps, by distinguishing such meta-data from accounting-data and having the "Backend" deal with "Data Stores"(instead of "Book"), this may go a long way in simplifying the current design? Kind regards, Ag _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
