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).
Thanks to maciejr we know now what the remaining problem was with bug 7954:
My unicode symbol fallback works fine, the problem was that a font named
"Symbol" is available on OS X, but it does not use the font-specific encoding
we expect: Almost all glyphs are at their unicode code point.
Therefore the bug is fixed by re-enabling the unicode workaround and blocking
the Symbol font on OS X.
Maximizing the document settings window when on the modules pane,
the horizontal space is now given to the module names and so no
scrollbar is needed. Before, even when maximized, a scrollbar was
sometimes needed because the horizontal space was given to the
buttons in the middle, which did not provide an extra benefit.
The default sizeType was "Expanding" and is now changed to "Minimum"
for the horizontal spacer above the middle buttons.
Now the cursor in LyX jumps to the right spot instead of simply the
beginning of the paragraph. This is most useful for branch insets,
for example, which may contain long paragraphs.
If the reverse position corresponds to an inset, its paragraph id
does not follow the main text numbering. Typically, an inset has
only a few paragraph, so that we would jump near the beginning of
the document. In this way we at least jump at the beginning of the
inset.
If LyX does not know about a given file format, it may easily
happen that the format is recognized as "latex" and this causes
bug #9146. This patch limits the check for a latex format to
non-binary files. The strategy for deciding that a file has
binary content is the same as that adopted by the "less" program.
