Description Björn Michaelsen 2011-07-21 06:36:34 UTC
=== align ASSERT (& friends) macro foo ===

'''Background:''' Two families of debug type macros exist in the openoffice code base, the OSL family ( OSL_TRACE, OSL_ASSERT, OSL_ENSURE etc. ) defined http://opengrok.go-oo.org/xref/ure/sal/inc/osl/diagnose.h and the DBG family ( DBG_ASSERT, DBG_TRACE etc. ) defined http://opengrok.go-oo.org/xref/libs-gui/tools/inc/tools/debug.hxx. The OSL family of macros are enabled when you build with debug ( --enable-debug configure option ) and the DBG family with ( --enable-dbgutil ) The OSL family should be considered to be the desired variant. <strike>Some local ASSERT variants also exist such as 'ASSERT' &amp; ASSERT_ID' http://opengrok.go-oo.org/xref/writer/sw/inc/errhdl.hxx#58, these should be replaced with OSL_ASSERT. Also in there is VOS_ASSERT ( which is actually defined to be OSL_ASSERT ) Directly replacing occurrences of VOS_ASSERT with OSL_ASSERT should also be done.</strike> Eventually we should remove/replace the DBG family of macros with OSL variants.

'''Skills:''' building, simple C++ programming

'''Working on it:''' Thomas Arnhold, 2011-02-21

'''Status:''' converted all DBG_ERROR to OSL_* locally, currently test building, 2011-03-04

Follow-up of the previous patch in accessibility/

Since the removal of debug.hxx altogether is the ultimate goal this patch removes DBG_NAME, DBG_CTOR, DBG_DTOR in accessibility which in result allows to delete all debug.hxx occurences in the same folder. 

The question is whether someone does need statistical information provided by functions like "DBG_DTOR( VCLXAccessibleToolBoxItem, NULL );". I asked a similar question on the mailing list and a suggestion was that DBG_CTOR/DBG_DTOR with empty argument can be removed, whereas when the second argument is not NULL some different solution has to be applied. Nevertheless, this patch should be regarded as a question that will help me to prepare similar patches in the future.

caolanm->sbergman: worth factoring this easy-hack into the "what we should do with asserts, traces, warnings" plan. i.e. mass convert DBG_FOO things ?
Comment 5 Björn Michaelsen 2011-12-21 02:29:28 UTC
Removing EasyHack status for now until the debugging facility discussion has settled and is linked here in concise summary form.

Stephan - did we settle the debugging thing yet ? :-)

> Stephan - did we settle the debugging thing yet ? :-)

The <cassert> and "sal/log.hxx" functionality (assert, SAL_INFO, SAL_WARN, etc.) is nowadays the functionality of choice, see <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development#Assertions_and_Logging>.  ("The functionality offered by osl/diagnose.h and tools/debug.hxx is obsoleted by sal/log.hxx.")

Lubos once stated he would like to revisit the sal/log.hxx interface again, but I don't think he still plans to do so.

This easy hack is slightly different from easy hack bug 43157, where the latter only concentrates on removing the osl/diagnose.h and tools/debug.hxx functionality that is directly obsoleted by sal/log.hxx, while this bug also addresses further old functionality like DBG_NAME, DBG_CTOR, etc., cf. comment 3.  We can either make one bug a duplicate of the other or keep both.

I would still theoretically like to do something about the ostream usage there, but with all the other things on my plate I don't see this important enough for the foreseeable future, so I can live with the current log.hxx functionality as it is.

Replace DBG_ macros with OSL_ equivalents in accessibility/

thanks for the patch, i've just pushed it to master, and mark this patch as "obsolete" so it does not clutter up bugzilla searches

PS: for future work, please send it to the mailing list directly, and please use SAL_WARN instead of OSL_ENSURE

Björn, is this still sufficiently clear in definition and scope for an easy hack? I had some trouble following the train of thoughts - maybe distill the remainder into a new bug?
Comment 14 Björn Michaelsen 2012-07-25 21:34:57 UTC
@thb: I just copied this one over from the wiki back in the dawn of time. I would assume sberg to be the guy to best judge how to formulate the the remaining goals of this beast.

How does this bug relate to bug 43157?
Comment 16 Thomas Arnhold 2013-01-22 11:42:34 UTC
Bug #43157 makes this one obsolete.
