As discused on the list. This is not used yet, but it is intended to provide
thread-safe read-access without the need for synchronization if the used STL
implementation does not provide it for std::basic_string. This is the case for
all implementations using copy-on-write.
docstring is already defined in strfwd.h (which is included from docstring.h).
There are only two possible cases:
Either the typedef in docstring.h defines an identical type (then it is not
needed), or it defines a different type (then it generates a compilation error)
=> it is not needed.
The reason being that the TEXINPUTS path list was not quoted on Windows.
This was no problem with spaces but some special characters are
interpreted by the shell and can cause problems. In this particular
case, the '&' character was being interpreted as a command separator.
Some applications do not accept forward slashes, so call external viewers
and editors with backward slashes which is the usual convention under windows.
The option --enable-qt5 allows configuring for Qt5. The default is Qt4.
Nothing special is done with respect to Qt4, apart from pulling in the
correct libraries. Indeed, other than the core and gui libraries, now
also the concurrent and widgets libraries are needed.
The conversion from floating point to string performed by
boost:lexical_cast does not allow specifying a precision and,
for example, values such as 0.9 are resturned as 0.899999976.
The standard C++ way for performing the conversion is using
std::ostringstream which is exempt from this problem, even if
less efficient. For the sake of accuracy, boost::lexical_cast
is ditched in favor of the ostrinsgstream implementation.
In C++11 another option would be using std::to_string, but I
think it is not as efficient as the boost way and not worth
implementing through #ifdef's.
Incidentally, this patch would have also fixed#9190 and all
similar cases involving the use of convert<string>(float|double).
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 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).
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.
This also changes the type of an int to an ssize_t.
nRead is initialized as an ssize_t because it could
be negative. It is cast to a size_t for comparison
to the size of a vector, but only after we check
that nRead is not negative.
The format entries should be sorted according to the culture selected for the
UI. This was not the case previously, resulting in unexpected sorting of small
and capital letters. This is now fixed by using the standard C function
strcoll(). Qt does only offer similar functionality in Qt5, and this is not
mature enough yet to depend on it.
Unfortunately we have a report that strcoll() does not work on MSVC, however
this partial fix is better than nothing. The MSVC issue might also be a
configuration problem, since MS claims that strcoll() is supported. This
still needs to be checked.
The code for detecting python commands and substituting in the
correct prefix is now merged with what used to be libScriptSearch()
and is now renamed to commandPrep(). This commit does not change
any functionality and just improves organization to reduce the
chance of bugs in the future.
Now the replacement is done in startScript(). In addition to making
the code cleaner and more consistent, this commit fixes a bug where
"$$s" was not replaced when "latex=" was specified in the extra flags
of a converter.
Note that the temporary fix at 731b8610 is reverted with this commit.
This fixes an issue when compiling with C++11 flags on: the
objective-C clang compiler produces an error. This patch set
the -std option to ansi for the Objective-C sources.
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.
This fixes an issue whe compiling with C++11 flags on: The
objective-C clang compiler produces an error. This patch waits
avoid including specific C++ flags and uses LYX_CPP_SPECIFIC_FLAGS
to store the confliciting flags (for the moment, just C++11).
QProcess::startDetached cannot provide environment variables. When the
environment variables are set using the latexEnvCmdPrefix, a console
window is shown every time a viewer is started.
On Windows, this reverts commit 5225821242.
Fixes: #9035.
it's easy to use the existing docstring routine, so I've commented
out the string version of lowercase I had introduced. I've left the
code in case someone else needs it later.
the name, in the hyperlink. Fixes bug #8792.
This also fixes a bug discovered while working on this code: The
params passed to GuiHyperlink were never used.
This is the result of the discussion on the list "2.1.0 Blocker". Thanks to
all contributors!
The main idea is to use thread-local storage for all static variables.
This solution does not need any mutex. For more details, see the comment in
unicode.h.
It is no longer needed, and it had a comment that it needed review...
Now anybody who tries to make a copy again is forced to think about it,
instead of trying and using possibly wrong semantics by accident.
The Messages::gui_lang_ variable is instantiated in the '#ifdef ENABLE_NLS' block. To prevent compile problems, we should also instantiate it when NLS is disabled.
Make sure that the configure script only checks features using the C++ compiler.
Also get rid of our last C files, since they are not compiled nor distributed anyway.
The path to the lyx binary is either <build_dir>/bin (CMake) or
<build_dir>/src (autotools). This means the po directory can be found one
directory up.
Since 00387b2a38 it is possible to construct a dummy Messages object
which does not translate at all. With the old gettext implementation, a
Messages object without a defined language would have used a language from
an environment variable. Therefore, the duplicate definition of _() is no
longer needed. This gettext removal was really a good idea!
This is done by handling explicitly a dummy Message object, where no parsing of mo file is attempted. This avoids in turn that the lyxerr object is used during initialization of a global dummy Message object.
With gettext, we have been forced to install .mo files at the right place in order to read them. Now that we have our code, the situation changes.
* Add new method Package::messages_file(code), when returns the right path, depending on whether we are running in place.
* In Messages class use that intead of the existing one.
Get the default language by a mix of QLocale and LyXRC::gui_language
Known limitations:
* encoding is supposed to be UTF-8 (the charset parameter is checked);
* context is not handled (implemented differently in LyX);
* plural forms not implemented (not used for now in LyX);.
* tThe byte endianness of the machine on which the .mo file have been
built is expected to be the same as the one of the machine where this
code is run.
When running the test, you'll get the following messages:
Testing ../../src/../lib/layouts/siamltex.layout...
Layout.cpp (268): Cannot copy unknown style `Enumerate'

Cannot delete style `Dedication'
Testing ../../src/../lib/layouts/svjog.layout...
Cannot delete style `Dedication'
Testing ../../src/../lib/layouts/svprobth.layout...

These are no errors of Layout::write(), but they indicate problems in the
definition of the layout files.
Kornel, it would be nice if you could do the cmake part.
* report results in milliseconds instead of microseconds
* report total time spent in block, additionally to mean time
* cause compilation error with --enable-stdlib-debug
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?

Buffer.cpp:4525: // LASSERT: Is it safe to continue here, or should we just return?

When using CMake, the binary files are stored in <build-dir>/bin. LyX can't fin tex2lyx with the current code. So, we have to point configure.py to explicitly look in the binary dir.
FileName::tempName() is not thread safe, since the QTemporaryFile object is
immediately deleted after creating it. Therefore, another thread could create
the same temporary file in the time span before the user of FileName::tempName()
recreates it. This is not as theoretical as it may look: I observed that
repeated creation and deletion of QTemporaryFile objects always use the same
name.
This problem is solved by the new class TempFile which should be used like
QTemporaryFile itself.
This will be needed for layout forward compatibility, and could also be used
for a layout editor. Writing was only implemented for styles, not for complete
layout files (text class). I rarely made use of default values for missing
variables which exist in read(), so the output it a bit verbose (but more safe
against future changes). Also, some things like CopyStyle are never written for
obvious reasons.
The use of this profiler is trivial:
* #include <support/pmprof.h>
* in the block one wants to profile, add
PROFILE_THIS_BLOCK(some_identifier)
* At the end of the execution, statistics will be sent to standard error.
so we can write a limited amount when using this for TOC and
tooltip output.
This should solve the problem with slowness that Kornel noticed,
which was caused by our trying to write an entire plaintext
bibliography every time we updated the TOC. We did that because
he had a bibliography inside a branch, and we use plaintext for
creating the tooltip that goes with the branch list.
Other related bugs were fixed along the way. E.g., it turns out
that, if someone had an InsetInclude inside a branch, then we would
have been writing a *plaintext file* for that inset every time we
updated the TOC. I wonder if some of the other reports of slowness
we have received might be due to this kind of issue?
- Use the LyX name of encodings instead of the LaTeX names.
The LyX name must be unique, while the name used by LaTeX
not necessarily, e.g. different packages might implement
support for the same encoding.
- Rename koi8 to koi8-r, so that the LyX and LaTeX names match.
- Rename euc-jp-plain to euc-jp-platex, jis-plain to jis-platex
and shift-jis-plain to shift-jis-platex.
- Add utf8-platex encoding (fixes#8408).
LyX file format incremented to 463.
The current code is not able to unset an environment variable, only to set it to an empty value. This patch refactors a bit the Message class and uses a new EnvChanger helper class that allows to change temporarily an environment variable and that is able to unset variables if needed.
The patch also adds new functions hasEnv and unsetEnv in environment.cpp.
Open issues:
* there may be systems where unsetenv is not available and putenv("name=") does not do the right thing;
* unsetenv may lead to leaks on some platforms.
* when using unsetenv, we may need to remove strings from the internal map that setEnv uses.
* some functionality is in new modules now
new header locations and library names: QtConcurrent and QtWidgets
* method setResizeMode is renamed to setSectionResizeMode
* deprecated QAbstractItemModel::reset() is dropped now
* platform specific code like QApplication::syncX() is not common anymore
* QString::fromAscii() is dropped now
* some QDesktopServices methods has been moved to QStandardPaths
This patch puts all projects into subfolders (at least for MSVS). In this
way, there is a better overview (especially if the number of test projects
will be increasing).
Next try to make it to work on APPLE (and maybe on WIN32)
a.) Create the needed data-dir at configure time
b.) Use different target names for executable and data created with them
