+ interesting problem requiring design input
+ options cleanup research ongoing
* QA update (Rainer)
+ more complication wrt. when to 'close' bugs ...
+ affects every engineer ...
+ HardHacks:
ID OS Component - Summary
--------------------------------------------------------------------
38913 Windows Libreoffice - CRASH when loading Danish dictionary at
startup citing msvcr90.dll after upgrade
+ potentially jvm dll at fault, use a workaround to
avoid fatal crash when called API called with an
illegal argument.
+ fixed - thanks to Stephan, custom handler works
around crash.
32948 Linux Libreoffice/Database(?) - Address Book Data Source
Wizard fails with message "No SDBC driver was found"
+ bug-log mixes several different issues, very unclear.
+ please open separate, new, clean issues & re-report.
+ one is split to bug#54450 Evo/Addressbook doesn't work
+ David to kindly look into it.
AI: + enable evolution connector in distro-config for Linux
(Lionel)
34548 All Presentation - EDITING: CRASH in action after Undo
+ valgrind trace preferred.
36681 All Writer - EDITING: after insert/removal of a picture (or
alike) view scrolls to begin/end of document
+ nasty cases where picture anchored to the page, and
inserting paragraphs afterwards, screen showed the 1st
page - due to stale layout info.
+ fixed by Cedric.
33302 Mac Libreoffice - FILEOPEN/EDITING RTL text: parentheses and
brackets "(...) [...]" inverted to ")...( ]...["
with some fonts
+ Mac volunteers appreciated.
* dictionary bundling (Stephan)
+ reduce default number of pre-selected dictionaries, as for UI installs
AI: + change pre-selection of default dictionaries to install (Stephan)
* defensive vs. abortive programming (continued)
+ debug-builds from Stephan's tinderbox have aborts enabled
+ failing hard in writer (Lionel)
+ most QA people are not using debug builds - so we don't
get the benefit
+ delay: discussion - Rainer back next week (Petr)
+ is it one high-frequency bug ?
+ reason to use abort() -> people wake up and fix it (Michael S)
+ what is the run-time cost etc.
+ on Mac - a few Mb. (Norbert)
+ no configure parameter for assertions, but not symbols (Michael S)
+ the symbols are potentially huge but useful.
+ badly need the Windows symbol server (Fridrich)
AI: + enable debug bits for Mac tinderbox (Norbert)
+ change consequences of copy to be more defensive (Norbert)
+ concern wrt. changing contract (Stephan)
+ could we return a defined / undefined string (Michael)
+ unhappy about defensive programming in general (Stephan)
+ better not to crash, if we can easily detect it (Norbert)
+ writer bug wrt. copy - a bug in ICU 4.4 (Caolan)
+ memory corruption causes apparently non-deterministic
behaviour, mis-leading bugs, etc. (Norbert)
+ instead of putting if (!condition) abort(); return an error
(Lionel)
+ good plan but no error channel in copy method
(Stephan)
+ contract programming - we behave as contract => no issue
(Stephan)
+ arbitrarily complicated contracts can be stacked up which
are hard to use, not always a great argument (Michael M)
+ stl iterators have no bounds checking either (Michael S)
+ can we not then change the contract retroactively (Michael M)
+ bad idea to change the contract later (Stephans)
+ not changing the contract - just defining the undefined
(Norbert)
AI: + change to contract and OSL_TRACE for oob results in copy (Michael)
* conference papers / program
+ anyone interested in helping out ?
+ Norbert is (thanks)
* 4.0 - ongoing discussion (Kendy)
+ punted again.
+ everyone interested in cleanups - claim your work until next ESC!
