Don't create an intermediate copy (found by Jean-Marc).
I doubt that this has anything to do with the mystery crash, but it works, and
following the standard patterns is better anyway.
Without this, you get crashes in a few second when you set the autosave
interval to one second and edit quickly (typing new words etc). The reason
is that the cloned buffer wants to insert words into the word list and
remove them again, but it lives in a different thread.
The lyx2lyx conversion for format 352 was incomplete: It should have been
added the \use_indices setting, but it relied on the fact that the default in
LyX for missing \use_indices is the same as the old format without that
setting used. However, the default might change in the future, and later
lyx2lyx conversions rely on that setting as well.
The compiler-generated copy-constructor and assigment operators would be wrong
for IconvProcessor::Impl, since cd would be copied, and iconv_close() could
thus be called twice on the same descriptor. The old code did work, but now
IconvProcessor::Impl cannot be copied by accident in the future.
The IconvProcessor assignment operator did not delete pimpl_ and used a
non-standard signature. If you want to know why the standard signature is
important, read "Effective C++" by Scott Meyers.
The statement
if (pos < from + lyxrc.completion_minlength)
triggers a signed vs. unsigned warning. I don't know why this happens, it
could be a MSVC bug, or related to LLP64 (windows) vs. LP64 (unix)
programming model, or the C++ standard might be ambigous in the section
defining the "usual arithmetic conversions". However, using a temporary
variable is safe and works on all compilers.
The configuration time suffers mostly on checking, which of the export tests
is to be reverted.
1.) There is a new configuration flag now, "LYX_ENABLE_EXOPRT_TESTS.
If not set (default) no export tests are created.
2.) If set, then the optimization halves the time needed for creation of tests.
The effect on my side:
a.) Until now the time was: ~ 26 seconds
b.) The optimized time is now: ~ 16 seconds
c.) With not enabled export tests: ~ 5 seconds
The magic library can detect the charset used by a file. While this
detection is not full proof, actually the library seems to be infallible
as regards the binary nature of a file. So, use libmagic for the detection
and fallback to the previous method if the library is not installed or
its database cannot be loaded.
On startup, the default locale is "C", meaning that all system
functions assume an ascii codeset. The environment's locale
settings should be selected by calling setlocale(LC_ALL,"").
This is done by Qt during the QCoreApplication initialization
but this inizialization is never performed for batch processing
and, as a result, LyX is not able to process files whose names
contain non-ascii characters. This is not an issue on Windows,
where the file names are always stored as UTF-16, so the call is
only performed for unix-like platforms (this also includes cygwin,
due to its own filenames management that allows using characters
which are forbidden to native programs).
FileName::tempName() created a new temp file name by using qt to create a
temporary file with a unique name, and then deleting that file and returning
the name. This was unsafe, since other processes or even other threads of the
running LyX could create files with the same name between deletion and then
using the temp name.
This is fixed by using the TempFile class instead. As a side effect, a few
cases where the temp files were not deleted after usage were fixed as well.
The only place that is still unsafe is createTmpDir().
The compiler generated copy constructor and assignment operator are wrong.
This could easily be fixed by implementing them manually, but a) they are
not needed, and b) the semantics would be unclear (should the copy point
to a new temp file or not?), so it is better to forbid them.
- The TempFile class guarantees to generate a file name, we are not limited to
100 tries of a predictable scheme anymore, which could break if LyX
frequently crashes.
- The temp file name generation has no race condition against another LyX
instance in the same directory anymore.
- Symlinks survive saving again (regression of 10364082c8).
