 Yes, it is preferred for checking the emptiness because it directly
 expresses what it checks.

 In general it is a good idea to check for emptiness instead of
 counting the elements and then comparing against zero. Its the old
 interface vs. implementation detail question. The result will be the
 same from a mathematical standpoint but the effort to get this result
 may be different. From an algorithmic complexity standpoint an
 emptiness check is always equal or better. Maybe a mathematician can
 provide some insights from the set theory on this question?

 By the way: the String class of Java=6 got its isEmpty() method for
 the same reasons.
 
 As Herbert said, this directly expresses what it checks. I would add
 and it reads better.
 
 There are other reasons, however; for example, depending on the
 implementation, it may be significantly faster than comparing against
 the length. For one implementation it may not matter, but, if you change
 the implementation in the future, it may.
 
 Uniformity is another possible reason (assuming other classes also
 implement isEmpty()). If you become used to using the expressive form
 (ie, using isEmpty() rather than comparing size), then you can leave
 optimizing the call to the class implementer rather than worrying about
 the correct way to do it. I have seen empty strings checked by comparing
 the length to zero, and even using a string compare against an empty
 string.
 

and again to replace getLength() with isEmpty() can be something for
newbies to get more familiar with the code and do something useful.

Yes. Especially considering that the length of a string is somewhat 
ambiguous. Currently getLength() returns the number of codepoints in the 
strings encoding (e.g. UTF-16).


But one could also reasonably define the length of a string as the 
number of unicode codepoints. This number is different from getLength() 
if unicode surrogates were involved or unicode normal forms were taken 
into consideration.

For historic reasons the STL and TR1 containers use empty() to check 
for emptiness and clear() to empty the container.


In the previous sentence I intentionally used empty once as an 
adjective and once as a verb to show that the method name empty() is 
ambiguous. Therefore I preferred to use the Java inspired method name 
isEmpty() for checking the emptiness of a string.



I have seen empty strings checked by comparing
the length to zero, and even using a string compare against an empty
string.


Indeed: In our current codebase there are all kinds of variants for this 
simple check. E.g.

aString == OUString()
aString.equalsAscii()
aString.equals( OUString())
aString.compareTo( OUString())
aString.compareToAscii( )
aString.getLength() == 0
aString.getLength()  1
and the related checks:
aString.getLength()  0
aString.getLength() = 1
Also there was the now already eliminated buggy variant
if( aString)

With the new method all these could be cleanly consolidated.

I must admit that the long discussion thread over the seemingly simple 
new method isEmpty() is somewhat scary to me...

Patches on Windows (Update)

2013-12-04 Thread Andre Fischer
I have just checked in what basically is a reimplementation of the 
defunct support for creating patches on and for Windows.


Building OpenOffice without the new release=t flag should work like 
before.  If you don't plan to build patches then you can stop reading 
now (just tell me if your builds break).



Support for patch creation is still in its early stages. It may or may 
not work.  Having said that, I would not mind if you would try it out, 
just don't apply them yet outside a virtual machine.  At the moment I am 
interested to get the workflow right and reliably working.  It is a 
lengthy process, something in the area of 30 minutes per language, and I 
can make only so many test runs.  But you don't have to run it to point 
out how to improve the workflow.



Here is how I currently think how patch creation can work. Note that 
patch creation is something that I expect is only done once per release 
by the release manager (or whoever builds the release installation 
sets.)  It may sound very technical but it really list only the most 
important points.



0. Expected (disk) space and time requirements:
Disk space: Number of languages *
   - Previous downloadable installation set (EXE) in ext_sources/
   - The above unpacked in instsetoo_native/wntmsci12.pro
   - The CAB file of the above (maybe 95% of the installation set) unpacked
   - The installation set and downloadable installation set of the 
current release

   - A copy of the above, arranged so that msimsp.exe can process it.
   - The MSP patch, about 10% of the downloadable installation set.
   I did not measure it but I would estimate the total to be around 500 MB
Time:
   - Download previous installation set from archive.apache.org (use a 
local cache if you can)

   - Unpack the above
   - Unpacke the CAB inside the above
   - Build the installation set of the current version
   - Make a local copy of the above
   - Run msimsp.exe
   All in all about 30 minutes


1. Prepare the release builds (one per language) that are compatible 
with the previous release.


Why: There are a lot of conditions to fulfill before you can create a 
patch between two installation sets.

One is that files must not be deleted.
Another is that files keep the same internal data (unique name, sequence 
number, etc.)

These conditions have to be checked and enforced.

How: Go to main/instsetoo_native and run 'build release=t'
This flag should probably be added as option to configure. It is not 
used outside of instsetoo_native but it is important that it is not 
forgotten when the installation sets are built.


What: In order to check the conditions, solenv/bin/make_installer.pl 
(which is called by build/dmake from instsetoo_native) needs access to 
the previous release.
It does that by reading the necessary data from the previous 
installation sets.  For that

a) the downloadable installation set is downloaded from archive.apache.org
   If you are concerned about too many downloads from archive.apache.org:
   - Creating patches is typically done twice a year, by the release 
manager

   - You can provide a local repository.  This also speeds up this step.
b) the downloadable installation is unpacked to get access to its 
content, most importantly (in this stage) the MSI file.
   For this I use 7zip, the only program I know of, that is able to 
unpack the installation set EXE that is created by the NSIS tool.
c) use the msidb.exe program from the Windows SDK to read the database 
tables in the MSI



2. Store information about the new release for when we will be creating 
patches when doing the next (future) release.

Why: The current release will eventually be the previous release.
How: The tool is not checked in, I am still cleaning it up a bit.
What: This extends the main/instsetoo_native/data/releases.xml list with 
data about the current release.



3. Create the patches (one per language)
How: Go to main/instsetoo_native/util and run 'dmake patch_create'
What:
a) Check if the installation sets for the relevant languages are present 
(both the previous and current ones)

b) Check that all conditions (that I know of) are fulfilled.
   Patch creation will break when even one condition is not met.
   It will, for example, detect when the release builds where not made 
with the release=t flag.

c) Create a local copy of the current release.
   This is necessary because the msimsp.exe tool (the one that creates 
the actual patch file) needs the CAB file (the container that contains 
all files that are to be installed) and its unpacked content in the same 
directory.

d) Run the msimsp.exe tool to create the patch file.
   Creating an installation set, unpacking and copying the previous and 
current ones, are already lengthy processes that each can take several 
minutes to complete.

   Msimsp.exe usually takes 10 to 15 minutes to run.


4. (For testing) Apply the patch
Why: To verify that the created patch really works

2013-12-04 Thread Herbert Duerr

Hi Raymond,


Thanks for the information. Sorry about the PDF. Unfortunately, we are unable 
to do a simple copy and paste because of the way are system is setup. The only 
other option that I have is to type the output, but that would have taken much 
longer.


Ok. I just wanted to make sure that its not a simple oversight.

C++ template errors are often very extensive and look quite scary. If 
the problem hides in a little type difference of the n-th argument of a 
multi-layer template specialization, then finding these miniscule 
differences is hard enough even with regexp magic or with specialized 
tools (template error message decryptors) such as STLFilt.


Without the error message text but just images of this text it becomes 
much harder to diagnose a problem.


 We just implemented the patch, but are still receiving the same 
output. We are investigating now.


This cannot possibly be! The original error output was that construction 
of the insertion object failed because of type and constness 
mismatches. With the patch there is no insertion object anymore, so 
there error output cannot possibly be the same!

When was the last time we actually contacted one of the people at LO who can 
effect a change or at least diminish the confusion? I mean, it's silly to have 
the legacy identity and suggests either a rather tired play at the real 
soffice or laziness. Yes, we could change our package name but…. not only do we 
have a large installed base but also legacy, copyright, and actual growth.

 It is certainly possible to combine IBM Support for Apache OpenOffice

 our Connector [1] would be supported as well.

 We also have an integration solution for OpenOffice and IBM Enterprise
 Content Management [2].

 We're exploring other integrations as well.

 That said, if a customer wants help with a large, complex, standalone
 deployment of Apache OpenOffice, we'll talk with them.   That was also
 the case with Symphony.

 Also, does IBM have any plans to list AOO support on the United States GSA

 I have no idea.  Should we?

 Yes, that is formal, but how else should this be handled?

  It would suggest the entire

 It does not have to be in the headline. Put identification in continuous

use openoffice, the less likely it is that they will (and need to) change.

We should announce this very publicly and communicate to LO and the distros
 when we make the change.
 This would also be a good topic to discuss with LO at FOSDEM this year.
 It would be good to get agreement from LO that they agree with this
 approach and will (over time) implement this across all of the distros (as
 it is a reasonable and fair way to deal with the overlap between the
 products)

Actually, the official LibreOffice packages install to their own subtree 
of /opt by default, so they do not install conflicting aliases (but 
those packages do still use program/soffice).


Packages that come with distributions, instead, usually store all 
binaries in /usr/bin and in that case we have the double soffice 
conflict. I think unopkg may have the same problem. This naming is 
chosen by the individual distributions, even though dropping soffice 
completely may have some (possibly limited) side effects.

 If you like them, we can consider to use this palette as default.
 
 I added a screenshot to the issue for clearer comparison. The new styles
 are nice and it would be good to have them in 4.1.
 
 In some cases, in the preview, I see the main line of the arrow going
 (seemingly) too far within the arrow head, see
 http://imagebin.org/280257 for an example. Is this wanted?
 
 No, that is not wanted. I will explain the problem in more detail:
 
 First: nice arrowheads! I am currently on something else, but I have
 already a grep on the task which you wrote.
 
 Background:
 - The arrows traditionally only used polygons (topologically: no
 poly-polygons which allows holes). This is alrteady changed and
 implemented.
 - The arrow heads and line overlapping traditionally use a 0.0 or 0.8
 factor of overlap, according to 0% or 80% overlap. These values are
 handles relative to the arrow head sizes already, but are treated as a
 boolean (one or the other). In the core these values are prepared to be
 0-100%, freely choosable. In the UI you can switch between 0% and 80% in
 the lines dialog in it's first page (line ends- 'centered' for right
 and left arrow). Missing is to have a value input instead of that simple
 switch and to get that 0-100% value over the API and to ODF. This is
 where normally Regina knows if this is possible ;-)
 Thus: Old. historical limitations, some more way to go to get over
 these. When one day it will be possible to choose that value freely
 (prepared in core and primitives) you will be able to trim these to
 connect to your arrow head as you want it to be.
 If there would be a way to do this automatically could also be
 considered; the old overlapping paint was probably only implemented
 since no one wanted to do it better from the beginning (time constrains?
 other?).
 
 Regina, this sounds as if we could use a feature task for his...
 
 
 Do I understand correct that with Reginas fix the arrows looks much
 better and the problem is less obvious.
 
 If yes I would still integrate it because it is an improvement. And if
 possible improve it further later on. But we should not wait for a 100%
 solution that most of the user even don't recognize.
 
 Well that is only my personal opinion.
 
 Juergen
 
 
 
 If you stop the line at the very place where the arrow head starts,
 you get a visible gap between the square 45° and the line itself for
 fat lines (and same for circle or any peak shape). Therefore an
 overlap was introduced. For the filled arrow heads, it does not matter
 whether the line is drawn a little bit longer.
 
 For the arrow heads with hole you have to find a compromise between
 showing a gap at the outer part and showing a little bit line in the
 hole.
 
 Currently the amount by which the line is drawn longer does not depend
 on the kind of arrow head, but on the length of the arrow head. It is
 in file polygonprimitive2d.cxx in method
 PolygonStrokeArrowPrimitive2D::create2DDecomposition around line#547
 the statement fStart *= 0.8;
 In LO I have changed that to fStartOverlap = getStart().getWidth() /
 15.0;, so that it depends on the width of the arrow head, which also
 determines the 'stroke' width in the non-filled arrow heads. It is a
 compromise too. (It is not really a 'stroke', but the area between two
 combined paths.)
 
 We could copy that in AOO. But perhaps someone has a better idea?
 
 Kind regards
 Regina

 Hello David,
  If you want to print the entire contents of a database table, it is
easiest to import the table into Calc or Writer. If you registered your
database when you created it, the process is simple.
1. Open a new Calc or Writer document.
2. Press F4, which will open a pane near the top of the screen showing all
of your registered data sources.
3. Click the + next to the name of your database to show the tables and
queries.
4. Expand the list of tables using the +.
5. Click and drag the name of your table into the new document.
6. Print that document.
I hope that helps.

 Another copy in case David isn't registered.
Hello David,
  If you want to print the entire contents of a database table, it is
easiest to import the table into Calc or Writer. If you registered your
database when you created it, the process is simple.
1. Open a new Calc or Writer document.
2. Press F4, which will open a pane near the top of the screen showing all
of your registered data sources.
3. Click the + next to the name of your database to show the tables and
queries.
4. Expand the list of tables using the +.
5. Click and drag the name of your table into the new document.
6. Print that document.
I hope that helps.
Best Regards,
Francis

 Hi Juergen,
 
 yes, of course we should add that stuff, that's what I had in mind. I already 
 have a grep on the task, just wanted to give some background information.
 thanks go to regina for alwas bringing something forward!

well I don't understand why you grep the task, I believe Regina is
knowing quite well what she is doing. We want to grow our developer
community and want to motivate people to work on the code on their own.
We all know that Regina is already working independent and she need if
at all mainly some interlock to discuss, brainstorm certain issues,
problems or solutions.

Independent of this I believe that the experienced developers should
give more guidance to others and help to solve their problems. Even if
it takes longer. This is the way to move forward, let people work on the
code and with the code and provide guidance where necessary.

We don't need to discuss this further and I hope I made my point clearer.

And I hope Regina simply integrate here good work ;-)

Thanks

Regina

 If you like them, we can consider to use this palette as default.

 I added a screenshot to the issue for clearer comparison. The new styles
 are nice and it would be good to have them in 4.1.

 In some cases, in the preview, I see the main line of the arrow going
 (seemingly) too far within the arrow head, see
 http://imagebin.org/280257 for an example. Is this wanted?

 No, that is not wanted. I will explain the problem in more detail:

 First: nice arrowheads! I am currently on something else, but I have
 already a grep on the task which you wrote.

 Background:
 - The arrows traditionally only used polygons (topologically: no
 poly-polygons which allows holes). This is alrteady changed and
 implemented.
 - The arrow heads and line overlapping traditionally use a 0.0 or 0.8
 factor of overlap, according to 0% or 80% overlap. These values are
 handles relative to the arrow head sizes already, but are treated as a
 boolean (one or the other). In the core these values are prepared to be
 0-100%, freely choosable. In the UI you can switch between 0% and 80% in
 the lines dialog in it's first page (line ends- 'centered' for right
 and left arrow). Missing is to have a value input instead of that simple
 switch and to get that 0-100% value over the API and to ODF. This is
 where normally Regina knows if this is possible ;-)
 Thus: Old. historical limitations, some more way to go to get over
 these. When one day it will be possible to choose that value freely
 (prepared in core and primitives) you will be able to trim these to
 connect to your arrow head as you want it to be.
 If there would be a way to do this automatically could also be
 considered; the old overlapping paint was probably only implemented
 since no one wanted to do it better from the beginning (time constrains?
 other?).

 Regina, this sounds as if we could use a feature task for his...


 Do I understand correct that with Reginas fix the arrows looks much
 better and the problem is less obvious.

 If yes I would still integrate it because it is an improvement. And if
 possible improve it further later on. But we should not wait for a 100%
 solution that most of the user even don't recognize.

 Well that is only my personal opinion.

 Juergen



 If you stop the line at the very place where the arrow head starts,
 you get a visible gap between the square 45° and the line itself for
 fat lines (and same for circle or any peak shape). Therefore an
 overlap was introduced. For the filled arrow heads, it does not matter
 whether the line is drawn a little bit longer.

 For the arrow heads with hole you have to find a compromise between
 showing a gap at the outer part and showing a little bit line in the
 hole.

 Currently the amount by which the line is drawn longer does not depend
 on the kind of arrow head, but on the length of the arrow head. It is
 in file polygonprimitive2d.cxx in method
 PolygonStrokeArrowPrimitive2D::create2DDecomposition around line#547
 the statement fStart *= 0.8;
 In LO I have changed that to fStartOverlap = getStart().getWidth() /
 15.0;, so that it depends on the width of the arrow head, which also
 determines the 'stroke' width in the non-filled arrow heads. It is a
 compromise too. (It is not really a 'stroke', but the area between two
 combined paths.)

 We could copy that in AOO. But perhaps someone has a better idea?

 Kind regards
 Regina
