Comment 2 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2023-11-23 13:29:45 UTC
Indeed, Item with SerialNumber 781 WhichID 4036 (EditEngine) gets registered on another pool than it gets de-registered. Strange since it's an ItemSet member and ItemSet should not change the Pool during lifetime. Have to check...
Comment 3 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2023-11-23 13:47:38 UTC
Looks like MakeCharAttrib uses DirectPutItemInPool on an already shared Item. Not sure yet how that gets to an ItemSet with another pool then, but it looks like EditCharAttrib *uses* an own SfxPoolItem ptr internally to another Item, the one that gets registered by DirectPutItemInPool.
Somehow that EditCharAttrib could be shared in another ItemSet and the internal one (can be accessed anytime using EditCharAttrib::GetItem() is used.
Another case where there is no tooling/mechanism to hold an SfxPoolItem in a safe way, it would have to be held in an SfxItemSet...
Comment 4 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2023-11-23 14:01:37 UTC
It is not possible to call DirectRemoveItemFromPool in EditCharAttrib::~EditCharAttrib(), there is no info about the pool available.
Comment 5 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2023-11-23 21:02:13 UTC
Also not possible to use implCreateItemEntry/implCleanupItemEntry, that is tooling limited *by purpose* to svl/Item/ItemSet stuff.
But what I can do is to do that SfxPoolItemHolder I already talked/thought about. It is a helper that can safely hold a SfxPoolItem in cases where an SfxItemSet is too expensive. Think about it as a SfxItemSet for a single item. That solves the problem why DirectPutItemInPool/DirectRemoveItemFromPool is used in general (each usage is a 'compromize').
Trying to do that now, will be needed anyways and is missing in the Item/Pool concept all the time...

Should be solved with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/159931, will see
