Bug ID: 96505
Summary: Get rid of cargo cult "long" integer literals
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: difficultyBeginner, easyHack, skillCpp
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
We have tons of instances of the 'long' integer literals 0L and 1L in the code.
(And also some 2L etc.) I am fairly certain that in the majority of cases, no
compiler warnings would be produced, and the semantics of the code would be
identical, and the generated machine code would be identical, if the 'L' was
dropped. But feel free to prove me wrong, of course.
If you want to work on this, don't change them all in one go. Do it a
"reasonable" number of source files at a time. (So that the total number of
changed lines in each change is a hundred or so.) And make sure that you indeed
don't introduce any compiler warnings. Don't do a change if you are at all
unsure whether it indeed might have a semantic effect on what the code means.
