Description Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2013-03-19 14:30:54 UTC
This is a medium-level EasyHack, and can be split up nicely into converting individual classes one after another. If you work on one class, or one set of classes inside a subsystem, please add a line to this bug stating so.

What is this about
==================

The LibreOffice codebase, at a number of occasions, employs the CopyOnWrite pattern to make passing big objects around by-value acceptably cheap, see this article for some more background:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C%2B%2B_Idioms/Copy-on-write

Currently we have quite a number of ad-hoc implementations of that pattern, with a number of known problems (getting it wrong in corner cases, different refcount semantics (is zero refcount good for deletion? does it mean one client left?), and a (hopefully generic) helper template for easy conversion of already-pimpled classes: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/o3tl/inc/o3tl/cow_wrapper.hxx

The task at hand is to convert as many of those sprawling ad-hoc implementations over to cow_wrapper

What this is not about
======================

This is not about whether COW is a useful pattern in the first place - we want to consolidate the code here to avoid nasty corner cases. If you want to go for a tangential read on that, this one is nice: http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/045.htm

Also note that cow_wrapper defaults to non-threadsafe mode (mimicking std behaviour in LibO code, the application being inherently single-threaded anyway).

Details
=======

If you want to find a victim, go grep the source tree for .hxx files containing nRefCount (there are variations in that name, but the aforementioned one should already give enough hits for the while).

If the code looks like implementing pimpl idiom (http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/024.htm) and Copy-on-write semantics, try wedging it into using cow_wrapper instead.

Example conversion from back in the day:

Comment 20 Thomas Arnhold 2013-08-11 08:04:18 UTC
I'm retiring on this, because I don't have time for libo in the near feature.

Thorsten suggested me to have a look at the Bitmap classes as a next step, because there is a high advantage of using cow wrapper. But it can be any other, too.


One more todo on this:

There is some nice documentation in cow_wrapper.hxx, which doesn't get it into the doxygen version:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/include/o3tl/cow_wrapper.hxx

http://docs.libreoffice.org/o3tl/html/cow__wrapper_8hxx.html

The whole 'Copy-on-write wrapper.' with the included code example are missing.
Comment 21 Björn Michaelsen 2013-10-04 18:46:39 UTC
adding LibreOffice developer list as CC to unresolved EasyHacks for better visibility.

Comment 22 Marcos Souza 2013-11-01 09:37:47 UTC
It seems that unotools/source/config/pathoptions.cxx in line 175 we have an manual refcounting, but this is globally inside that file...

I little strange BTW :)
