Description How can I remove my account? 2016-02-18 09:08:32 UTC
We have in many places functions inside unnamed namespaces that are declared 'static' too. That is not really useful, and only causes confusion when somebody notices it and starts wondering whether there is some deeper reason for it. Your task is to find such and drop the 'static' keyword.

I don't give any code pointers as the very task is to find these cases and handle them. 

Obviously you must make sure the code still compiles and passes 'make check' after your changes.

Don't do anything else in changes submitted for this task. Don't submit one massive change for every instance, but split it up in reasonably sized bits.

As such, this task is probably too easy to qualify somebody as a potential GSoC participant for us. But if you write a Clang plug-in to do it instead of doing it manually, we will be more impressed.

For how to write a Clang plugin for LO, see compilerplugins/README in the LO source tree, and the links from there.

Please don't assign to yourself--this is a task multiple people can work on in parallel.

Hi,
Sorry for the assignment. I would like to work on it. I'd like to write a Clang plugin. However, I have a question. Should this issue be checked in the entire project, in every c++ code? Another question is that is this comment field the right place to ask questions about the bug?

Welcome, we have made a step by step guide to help new people:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved

Of course it should be checked over the entire project, writing a Clang plugin takes care of that.

The comment field is in general the right place and the code pointer you need is in comment #1. You can also use mail and IRC (see wiki) for questions.
Comment 6 Jakub Trzebiatowski 2016-03-07 16:04:08 UTC
Should the clang plugin rewrite these functions or just warn about them?

Regards

Jakub: The more the better, of course;) But note that Tamas already is (claims to be) working on this.

Comment 16 Tamas Bunth 2016-03-17 09:42:18 UTC
I made a plugin but I couldn't bulid it, not even the tutorial1.

I made a copy to the clang folder.
For the command "make compilerplugins" I got "Nothing to be done for 'compilerplugins'".

I tried "make compilerplugins.clear" but it doesn't help: "No rule to make target `compilerplugins.clear'"

I followed this doc: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Clang_plugins

Did you configure the LO build with --enable-compiler-plugins (it is disabled by default unless you also configured --enable-dbgutil)?  Do you have the LLVM/Clang development headers installed (if you use a distro's clang package, they often come in an additional package that needs to be installed explicitly, e.g. see the "Clang Setup" slide of <http://conference.libreoffice.org/assets/Conference/Aarhus/Slides/SBergmanLOCON2015-plugin.pdf>)?

Solved, thank you.

Comment 30 How can I remove my account? 2016-04-05 07:51:40 UTC
We probably can resolve this bug now that there is a plug-in that will mark all occurences?
