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 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 10364082c835).
* remove unused class TexStream.
* remove unused virtual method Inset::cellXOffset
* remove second argument of FileDialog constructor, which was actually
not used
* remove some dead local code
* remove some unused private members of classes
* in InsetMathNest::updateBuffer, fix the logic of a test
for possible thread conflicts, of the sort Georg resolved at
6a30211f. I have made static variables const where possible,
and marked cases that looked potentially problematic with the
comment:
// FIXME THREAD
Many of these definitely are vulnerable to concurrent access, such
as the static variables declared at the start of output_latex.cpp.
Suppose, e.g., we were outputting latex and also displaying the
source of a different document.
I'd appreciate it if others could grep for "FIXME THREAD" and see
if some of these are harmless, or what.

If you look at Buffer.cpp, around line 4351, there was a comment about bug 5699. We are seeing the
same crash. The problem is that, although the master does have a GUI, that GUI is in a different window. So the structureChanged() call we do during updateBuffer() is for the TOC in that window, not the TOC in the window we are actually in. So our TocModel::toc_ has been reset and is invalid, though the widget itself has not been updated and looks fine.
This patch tests whether the master is in the same window as the buffer we are updating.
A problem remains, which is noted in a comment.
In e02df14 the return type of doExport was changed from bool to ExportStatus.
All calls except this one were adjusted. This one did now fail because the
numercial value of ExportSuccess is 0.
The new HTML clipboard export could cause error message boxes on copying
data to the clipboard (bug #8866). These are now suppressed, like all other
errors which might occur for preparing the clipboard data.
LyX, lyx2lyx and tex2lyx produce now all the same version indicator consisting
only of the major and minor version. It is not decided yet whether future
development versions will add a -dev suffix, but for 2.1.0 this change fixes
the inconsistencies.
These should be used if any new style needs to be introduced in the stable
2.1 series: If the ForceLocal flag of the style is set, it will always be
written to the document header, so that even older 2.1 versions can read
and correctly output the document.
Move the handling of branch-(de)activate(master) to Buffer. This code was moved to Bufferview in [3a03e71c/lyxgit] because a cursor was necessary to call Undo::recordUndoFullDocument(). However, it turns out that the undo code is already prepared to handle an empty cursor (and do nothing in this case).
Therefore we do that and move the branch code to Buffer where it belongs.
Note that there was a bug in the previous code that broke undo support: recordUndo should always be called _before_ doing any change.
each failure.
There are several places I was not sure what to do. These are marked
by comments beginning "LASSERT:" so they can be found easily. At the
moment, they are at:
Author.cpp:105: // LASSERT: What should we do here?
Author.cpp:121: // LASSERT: What should we do here?
Buffer.cpp:4525: // LASSERT: Is it safe to continue here, or should we just return?
Cursor.cpp:345: // LASSERT: Is it safe to continue here, or should we return?
Cursor.cpp:403: // LASSERT: Is it safe to continue here, or should we return?
Cursor.cpp:1143: // LASSERT: There have been several bugs around this code, that seem
CursorSlice.cpp:83: // LASSERT: This should only ever be called from an InsetMath.
CursorSlice.cpp:92: // LASSERT: This should only ever be called from an InsetMath.
LayoutFile.cpp:303: // LASSERT: Why would this fail?
Text.cpp:995: // LASSERT: Is it safe to continue here?
This was a simple logic error that crept in during refactoring:
If the format does not match, and the converted file has been read,
the string must not be read.
As discussed on the list. No automatic contents detection is done, the user
needs to use the special paste menu instead. I used the new TempFile class
for safe temporary file handling.
The documentation would go into section 2.2 of UserGuide.lyx, but I am not
allowed to edit that document.
