If you poke at (at least) chart2/source/tools/LifeTime.cxx you can see the most amazing function signatures like this: bool CloseableLifeTimeManager ::g_close_startTryClose(bool bDeliverOwnership) throw ( uno::Exception ) { There is no real consensus on the 'right' way to do function prototypes, so don't go wild changing everything; but the above looks really wrong & unusual to me =) it'd be good to find instances of this particular oddness & change them to (perhaps) bool CloseableLifeTimeManager::g_close_startTryClose(bool bDeliverOwnership) throw ( uno::Exception ) which at least looks like a method ;-) Thanks !
To identify these lines I wrote: git grep -n -E -e '^::[a-zA-Z0-9_]*\(' -- '*.cxx' (It's pretty basic since git-grep doesn't support multiline patterns and finding function prototype with pattern is pretty hard.) I found like 25 lines with that and will change them according to your example.
