Forthcoming versions of cygwin will use a different mechanism for
obtaining passwd/group information based on /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Thus, it will not be guaranteed that the files /etc/passwd and
/etc/group even exist. The recommended way for obtaining those
info is by using the getent command, which already works in
current versions.
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).
When a font is scaled by a certain percentage in the document settings,
LyX was outputting a ridiculous parameter value. For example, if the
font is scaled 90%, the corresponding parameter was "scaled=0.899999976".
The patch avoids this and, in the previous case, one gets "scaled=0.9".
This is not only cosmetic, because in roundtrip conversions the parameter
would be continuosly changing.
This commit and b60b505f should be backported to the 2.1.x branch, where
reimporting with tex2lyx an exported document produces wrong results
(also in version 2.1.0).
build_script() was already threadsafe, since it used a TempFile, and the
counter was basically not needed, but the new solution makes this obvious
and has the additional advantage that TempFile constructs the real output
file, not a dummy without extension which is not needed.
It was broken in two ways: It was not threadsafe, and it did never detect
any recursion, since the counter was decremented for each non-recursive call
and never incremented again.
This is one of the more important threadsafety issues because of export in
thread and simultanous view source. The solution is ugly, but a better one
(see FIXME) would require major rework. These static variables should not
have been used in the first place IMHO.
Using a static variable here was premature optimization: fileNames() is only
called from GuiRef (directly or indirectly), and since this is a dialog the
copying of a FileNameList is not noticeable at all.
In this case I use a mutex, so the zip status of files is shared between
threads. This is possible because a deadlock can't happen, and it should give
better performance.
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.
