  3. Valorize and support Education Community

Visibility

  1. Website
  2. Be present in important events FIXME: write a list ...
  3. Blogs
  4. Lists
  5. IRC
  6. Schools and sponsors

Content

  1. Provide pedagogical tools
  2. Provide howtos for migrations in schools
  3. Provide courses as school cases of applications or writingcode ( existing cases)

Knowledge

  1. Connect with other projects
  2. Define a pool of devs and resources
  3. Separate tools learning and pure code learning
  4. Create courses with identified levels


FOSDEM 2008

Draft will be completed once sure expenses will be funded

Draft of existing cases

Existing cases and thoughts about them ... 

 + A is a student who is doing advanced studies (possibly computer science/engineering) and is well up with Java and C -
> A wants to know what can be the steps towards becoming a contributor to bits of OO.o where a difference can be made

skills : be computer science/engineering

Now: possible

Important: only a few students can be mentored, because ot lack of resources

About C skills:

There is some C in sal, and in some other places in OpenOffice.org source code (mainly tools or external tools). For Java there is ~ 5% max of Java code, C++ does represent 90% of the source code of OpenOffice.org There are some Python , bash and objective-C ( in Aqua version) too, but just a bit. C language, even advanced, is not a bad thing, but OpenOffice.org source code is more Academic C++ (not sure of the term) than C.

First steps : learn C++, learn coding guidelines in OpenOffice.org project (they are existing documents on the wiki), learn stl use, and learn the sources organisation. Then learn the code present in some extensions, learn how trace OpenOffice.org using a debugger, or try to fix some bugs, and finally experiment is imho the next step.

The real case is not exactly turned like that :

Either the student has a precise idea of what he wants to contribute for. e.g. : implement a new feature in writer, or help for porting project, or .. (other application)

... or the application is already existing (there are some applications already proposed (Just not the link in mind right now)


In the first case, the steps could be :

- choose an OS (e.g. Linux prefered, for soupleness) , and learn what happens when OpenOffice.org Framework is built. - learn how modules are organized ( why such f.. organization ? ) - when sw ( means Star Writer ) is built, understand what are the dependencies, how link, what must be built before, where are all part used by writer.

Once everything is in place, then learn writer source code. Lot of lines ( really ! )

Missing: learn OpenOffice.org tools, cvs, cwstools, bonsai, LXR, EIS, how commit, what a cws is, OpenOffice.org scheduling .. and so on, like write a documentation for the next students to come, following the golden rule : not redo over and over ..

This would need IMHO a lot of time. With the little experience I have with Google Summer of code, imho several months are mandatory.

Second case: help porting project

- learn how build OpenOffice.org ( yes, before to test some new feature, you need a working set) - discover vcl - learn how it works, (virtual classes, implementation OS dependant ... etc ) , some other fun - understand what is the problem ( bind an OS over virtual - empty - boxes) and start (uff) to work for what he wanted to contribute for .. long time ago.

(same next steps .. )

Third case :

... etc. Other possibilities: implement UNO services. Means learn (again) how build an installset, understand what offapi does contain, and what is the role of all those interfaces. Learn examples (lot of time, and code and energy) and finally, implement the new feature.

( same next steps )

Jürgen Schmidt will complete, since he's a better specialist than me there ( please add how create a new extension case too ;-)

As summary, the common denominator is:

- learn how build OpenOffice.org framework - learn alone such tools is not possible, and one mentor must be there - OpenOffice.org developers are paid for a lot of things, and that's not easy to bother them for everything randomly.

I think, one student, one dedicated dev like Jürgen or me, or you maybe to accompagn him.

If you see a shorter way to produce an OpenOffice.org developer, please tell me :-) 

 + B is a professor who is in charge of a class of students tasked with doing a credit based FOSS project and B would really like for OO.o to
 help tell how the students can be involved

See above, this is similar to A. Just the professor will have more autonomy and add interesting point of views in discussions ... and maybe will propose improvements, or find some issues.

This is the prefered case, because we valorize a professor, a student, a school and the project. 

 
+ C is an artist and C wants to contribute to OO.o's art effort but is not sure if Education Project is the way to go

We can help too. but this would be limited to OpenOffice.org projeect introduction, orient these artist on art project, how register, .etc. The list combined to IRC is perfect. Start now is possible. 

 + D is a senior student trying to coach juniors into understanding how FOSS projects work and thinks teaching them to triage bugs would be
> awesome - can this project help D ?

Yes, sure.

We can welcome, explain the project, discover together, and show examples of issues. I know some, but we certainly will have to define better how proceed. 

+ E is a fresher in pre-college who has used OO.o, knows something about Linux and FOSS and thinks that there are ideas that can be proposed to
> enhance the user experience - should E get in touch with Education Project ?

I think we can welcome, explain OpenOffice.org project, orient and ask in return to the newcomer to write what he learned with us, preparing the next student in the same case.

This is another important example we should take care: User Experience is extremely important and we have a lot of work before to pretend welcome E case.

Needs some work 

 + F is a freelance developer good in Python and wants to create extensions that would also allow a business to be wrapped around that

Jürgen .. please help me :-)


Other cases :

A professor/teacher wrote a tool, including pedagogical notice about it, and wants to share it

A professor/teacher is searching what does exist

A professor/teacher wants to install OpenOffice.org on a network for his job

Mac OS X Native port

The first Mac OS X native port objective is make OpenOffice.org run without X11 use, to make it a real Mac application.

The second one is respect Aqua Human interface Guidelines

This is a long term work, and every help and/or contributions, like donations** are welcome.

Aug 26 00:21:38 ChristianL
from my point of view what is missing for point 1:
text layout, complete font support, keyboard support,
fixing repaint issues, having aqua install and run out of the box

September 2006

Present the current state of the project at the 2006 OpenOffice conference in Lyon and Paris

Late 2006

fix OpenOffice.org launch fix drawing (repainting) Implement missing methods and fix most important bugs (mainly the one leading to crash) in: ATS Salgraphics Salinstance

January or February 2007

make Java work (works partially) make intensive debug present something working as alpha

June 2007

Implementation of: native filepicker native printing

Become a Domain Developer for Mac OS X port (or other)

People regularly contributing to Mac OS x port with regular and quality patches are, after proposal, invited to become a DomainDeveloper.

The purpose of this document is to clearly define all the steps to become a DomainDeveloper.


Preliminary: step 1 in Commit_Rights must be completed and checked, and you must be in the list of [JCA Licensed people]

Steps for ssh2 key to be uploaded

Create the key

Everything is described here: [SSH Guide]

Upload the key

You must create an issue, like described below :

Assign it to "ssh2key" in the "www" component

Sub Component: openoffice.org cvs

Title: CVS Commit access request

Add louis (Louis Suarez Potts) or st (Stefan Taxhet) on CC

Upload your ssh2 public key respecting the process (Attach a DSA key, not an RSA)

A project lead will confirm your request

Then the support will upload your key

Once done the issue is set to Fixed , and the next step has to be verified before you close it.

EXAMPLE: [Upload SSH2 Key for Etsushi Kato]

Verify it works

You now can try to connect via tunnel, and follow instructions given [SSH Guide]

If something goes wrong, ask for help to support, with a maximum of details, to solve the problem.

Once it works, the issue can be closed, and you can e.g. test downloading a module from tunnel repository :

First create a tunnel with the command: 

ssh -2 -x -L 2401:localhost:2401 tunnel@openoffice.org

Then in a new window: 

export CVSROOT=":pserver:your_login@localhost:/cvs"

cvs login (enter)

(your password)

mkdir TEST

cd TEST

cvs -z4 co -r SRC680_m205 vcl 

cd vcl 

cat CVS/Root  -> should indicate: your local repository

Ask for CVS access for all modules required

Two steps: create an issue is mandatory because the concerned project is tools, and because people can have only ssh2 key without being DomainDeveloper.

Create an issue

You must create an issue, described below :

Component: tools

Sub Component: www

Title: CVS access to all modules required

Assigned to mh + CC for ericb and/or pjanik

Present yourself quickly, and ask the access

A project lead will confirm

An admin will confirm this is ok, and set the issue to Fixed


EXAMPLE: [CVS Access all modules for Etsushi Kato]

Verify

Create the tunnel :

open a terminal and type :

ssh -2 -x -L 2401:localhost:2401 tunnel@openoffice.org

once logged in, open a new terminal, and do (for example): 

cd $OOO_SRC_ROOT/

source MacOSXPPCEnv.Set.sh  { source MacOSXX86Env.Set.sh for Mac Intel }

cd vcl  (for example)

IMPORTANT: be sure vcl has been checked from tunnel, not from anoncvs (cat CVS/Root will give you the answer)

export CWS_WORK_STAMP=aquavcl01   # Only needed for working with [[EIS]], can change for a different CWS ;) 

cd aqua/source/gdi

add your changes to your_file.cxx, then commit :

cvs commit -m "#i75689# bla bla ... the reason of the modification(s)"  your_file.cxx  # The #i75689# is an issue number in the tracker

cvs update

If nothing is wrong, cvs update should not return M for your_file.cxx, means the commit is successfull.

In case of problem, use the issue until it is fixed


Welcome aboard :)

Our Objectives at the WWDC 2007

1) Connection OOo Mac team / Apple engineers

-Goal 1.1: "Get infos, contacts, human to human conversation :-)"

-> Present our current work, methods and team to Apple people :

-> Meet them during WWDC: give us/them a face, keep contacts

-> Get their impression about what we have already done and what is still ToDo


2) Improve from Apple's engineers expertise

-Goal 2.1: "Give MacOS X users the OOo suite they deserve" 

=> As mac platform and apple's product fans, we are proud to bring the quality and power of OOo to mac users community

=> Make OOo uses all the power of Mac OSX, including upcoming Leopard !

-Goal 2.2: "OO.org Mac port has to be as Apple HIG compliant as possible" 

=> Define what is expected for User Interface of OpenOffice.org suite with people from Apple UI project

- FYI: Last year, Apple UI project proposed ericb to help us, once our native menus will be working. 
  This is now done.


3) Get code guidelines, tips, samples

-Goal 3.1: "Ask for code review and find code snippets" 

 - HIView
 - Printing
 - Drag and Drop
 - as muc has possible

=> More than 1000 Apple engineers are present, and can answer our questions regarding the code, during the whole week

-Goal 3.2: "Attend key Labs and Sessions to get full overview of Tiger/Leopard/Core's and useful code" 

 - Core*
 - Tiger / Leopard


4) Social Contacts / Team emulation

-> Discuss and meet new developers and / or american people working for Mac OS X port (like Michael Sicotte, Vijay Venkatraman , other..) -> Share ideas, tips, conviviality !


5) Visibility

OpenOffice.org Native Mac port has to be recognized as the professionnal office suite for Mac users it is !

Who?

  • Sébastien Plisson
  • Eric Bachard
  • Philipp Lohmann

Todo list

Please add topics, technical questions you would see asked by attendees to Apple engineers during WWDC

Suggestions for current issues to be fixed

Timers: Current code is obsolete, and compatibility with Leopard won't probably exist. Pavel wrote a patch using recent code. Seems to work fine, excepted a thread issue (crash not easy to be reproduced)

Questions ( pavel )

Does Apple have a plan to enable UI drawing from threads different from the first one?

Does Apple have a plan to allow java to be run from other threads as well?


Salframe:

Looot of things:

  • fix all our busy paint places
  • Find infos/code sample about parenting
  • Code review for HIFrameWork implementation
  • Menus: every window creates it's own menu. Redesign it?
  • adapt native widget framework
  • Use XCode to build OpenOffice.org

Events: code review, tips

ATS: code review, ATS issues

Mike Sicotte: I understood that implementing printing in aqua OOo was a topic that we didn't get accepted into Google SOC - so remains on the ToDo list. I notice that there are three Sessions specfically related to printing at WWDC: 

   Leveraging the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS)
   Printing with Style in Mac OS X
   Printing Lab

If this is judged to be a good use of time at WWDC I would be willing to spend some time to help further develop the questions to be addressed with the Apple engineers.

ericb->Mike Sicotte

Good idea. You are welcome :)

Ismael: What is the best way to draw editable textfields? Using DrawThemeEditTextFrame() from appareance manager although it is a bit old and we can't choose the context to draw but it is more in the OOo approach? Or use CreateEditUnicodeTextControl and create a control?

Travel

  • describe the schedule of the travel

ericb : 

Mulhouse -> Paris -> SF:  9th of June    SF scheduled arrival: 7:13 pm
SF -> Paris -> Mulhouse:  16th of June (arrival 17th)  SF departure for the return:  3:00 pm

Hotel: King George (close to Union Square)

Airport to Hotel transportation: not included

sebastien (aka plipli): 

Paris->SF: 3rd June
SF->Paris: 15th June in the evening

Hotel: to be coompleted


Philipp Lohmann: 

Hamburg->SF: 9th June
SF->Hamburg: 16th June

Hotel: King George

Misc

  • don't forget sector adaptator for laptop: US connectors are different
  • don't forget Cameras (and chargers)
  • Prepare 50 to 100 business cards : the most simple is to use the model I can provide on demand , and print them with special paper (pre-cut)

Mac OS X porter Team at OOoCon 2007

Who?

  • Shaun McDonald
  • Eric Bachard
  • (list to be completed)

Todo: ask for Mickael Sicotte travel (New York <-> Barcelona) + rooms

What?

The conference is over 3 days. Presentations should last around 45 minutes. http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announce&msgNo=320 Papers have to be submitted by 1st June to be considered.

Ideas :

Mike Sicotte: Perhaps the results of the Google SOC could be a presentation.

  • create a complete topic for Mac port (one stream for a day or half day)
  • How to improve ooo usability though the use of floating palettes instead of modal dialogs

- several presentations / BOF

Eric Bachard: Aqua OpenOffice.org (conf / 1 hour)

Others?

  • reserve rooms together? Better rent a house?

Description of the Native Port problem

How does OpenOffice.org work on Mac OS X?

Currently, on Mac OS X, OpenOffice.org uses X11, as "client": X11 is a graphical server, coming from Unix world, and able to run under Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Mac OS X. 

- X11 is run as an application, managed like other Apple applications.
- All unix like applications are managed by X11, and from Aqua environment, only X11 is seen as only one applicatiion, 
 even if other Unix/Linux (e.g.) applications are runing.

OpenOffice.org asks X11 to display a window, waits for X11 acknowledgment, and OpenOffice.org displays the window. All transactions use the network, locally or not. the same mechanism is used for everything to be displayed.

Ericb 11:39, 3 June 2006 (CEST)

Issues and known problems

All events are managed by OpenOffice.org and X11, using the Xlib

Only .ttf fonts type is currently available. Note: system fonts are available

The rendering is made by X11, not by Mac OS X rendering engine.

X11 and all its clients are seen as one application only: drag and drop protocol does not work because of that (solution: Pasteboard Manager)

Ericb 11:39, 3 June 2006 (CEST)

What do we have to do?

  • (in progress): Implement direct access to Apple graphical engine, using Apple API: Quartz2D/CoreGraphics (and replacing Xlib use)

like: instantiate, manage events and threads for a graphical instance + all needed objects, drawing: manage all drawing cases

  • (in progress): Implement native events management, using CarbonEventManager (replacing Xlib management)
  • (in progress): Implement native font use, using Apple Type Server and ATSUI (for Unicode Imagery) (replacing X11 management)

Work in progress: Mac OS X Porting - Native Fonts

  • (done experimental) Implement Native Filepicker
  • Implement Apple Spellchecker

--Plipli 09:27, 25 March 2007 (CEST)

Where is located the code to be modified?

Most of the changes are located in vcl (Visual Class Layer), for everything graphical, events, fonts, rendering and printing.

Other, for sound and movies will be in avmedia (where the player is implemented in OpenOffice.org sources).

For drag and drop, dtrans is concerned (Pasteboard Manager implementation)

[FIXME]: Filepicker? Apple Spellchecker?

Ericb 11:39, 3 June 2006 (CEST)

How will the new implementation be tested?

Currently, all openOffice.org code can be compiled without using the Xlib. but of course, a lot of features are missing,

and the final package simply won't work

In vcl module", a toy called svdem is built at buildtime. This binary is linked to libvcl* and so all new stuff can be tested.

e.g.: draw anti-aliased lines works well.

Everything implemented in aqua vcl code will be included in libvclplug_aqua, and svdem source code will contain a specific part to proceed tests.

The magic is: when all needed features will work with svdem, it will work in the new version of OpenOffice.org !!


[FIXME]: add more complete list of features to implement and test.

hdu: fixed the text drawn at bad size when resizing

(19th may)

Begining of Drag and Drop (Tino)

Using Aqua keyword, 123 issues created + macport user created.

user macport assigned means nobody is working on the issue. Once someone assigned the issue to himself + sert issue as started, means issue has an owner.

Experimental code to test SetThemeWindowBackground to refresh everything (ericb) (18th may)

+: refresh is ok, bitmap refresh is ok when scrolling, typing text works in writer , pulse effect works, refresh checkbuttons works, refresh the window during scrolling works

-: no more cursor, excessive system load (lot of Begin /EndGraphic()


Important infos / WIP

The main work in progress is about refresh not working in all situations. We isolated the cause: very probably the clipping is either missing, or buggy.

Once fixed: pulse effect for buttons, text refresh (blinking cursor, and bitmaps in menus will be ok.

Aquavcl01 integration

Log of discussion 26th June 2007 on #ooo_macport




Sort of documentation about VCL around Native Mac OS X port

Do we really need to understand how it works? ;-)


vcl content:

ls -laR | wc -l 

 1750

-> Uff 1750 files to analyse :-/

Our purpose is to describe the vcl organisation. The content of vcl is so important, that at the begining, the content will looks a bit confused. e.g. class names ..etc have nothing to do, only description with words and sense, but this will need some time before we can understand everything.

How analyse with more efficiency? After some months to anlalyse "horizontaly", it appears that list all the content of a directory is not the solution. Of course, we learned a lot, but we now have to complete with "orthogonal" method (compared to the previous one). The first method wasn't obviously not the good/best way to describe vcl.

[FIXME] a different approach (will ask confirmation to Philipp Lohman), could be a description of how it work in runtime. First define what an instance is, a frame, and what exactly is concerned by such "objects".

With that, we can write a list of different objects all using the same scheme: empty boxes (means pure virtual methods and classes in generic libvvcl), really implemented in the specific part, and finally, the API "encapsulated".

The most difficult is to see where the API is used. But for all the parts, this is the same.

Finally, what is important is the design of vcl. Which patterns are used? What are the dependencies, how works the stack for the events, how works the scheduler, the timers too is very important, even fundamental for Aqua implementation. Will have a look at gsl mailing list, and other resources. Probably everything is already (randomly) written somewhere.

VCL organisation

Thank's to Philipp Lohmann for this short, but precise description:

Basically vcl is divided in the system dependent and the system independent part. The interface between these two is mostly the Sal interface (every interface name Sal*: SalInstance, SalFrame, SalGraphics, SalPrinter, etc.).

SalInstance is a factory that can create all the other abstracted interfaces of the system dependent part. It also provides the main loop SalInstance::Yield()

SalFrame abstracts any kind of system window.

SalVirtualDevice abstracts an offscreen window (e.g. a Pixmap on X11)

SalPrinter and SalInfoPrinter abstract the system print queues where SalInfoPrinter is for querying and SalPrinter for actual printing.

SalGraphics is an interface produced by either SalFrame, SalVirtualDevice or SalPrinter which is used for actual drawing operations (text, bitmaps, vector graphics)

SalSound is for sound playing.

SalBitmap provides memory for bitmap graphics as well as methods converting this memory to a system handle (e.g. a Pixmap on X11).

SalOpenGL provides OpenGL functionality if available.

SalTimer is an interface for periodically triggering the event queue (to timer implementation).

SalI18NImeStatus handles how the status window of an Input Method Editor (IME) should display (this is mainly X11 specific).

SalSystem has some system specific methods that did not belong anywhere else:-)

Of all these there interfaces is at least one implementation per system (Windows, X11 or Mac). The Unix implementation also has a plugin concept to allow for integration of different native toolkits (currently gtk and Qt) which became necessary for the implementation of Native Widget Framework (NWF) to display controls like their normal desktop counterparts.

Basically the independent part (what is beneath vcl/source directory) has generic methods for drawing, window handling and stuff which it brings into a suitable form and then delegates to the system specific implementation (located beneath vcl/win for Windows and vcl/unx for the X11 platforms).

Sub-directories description

Organisation of vcl directories

Aquavcl organisation complete 02.jpg

Directories in vcl. Short description

aqua : The name Aqua means Apple look and feel, and is well known as Aqua Human Interface Guidelines. This look and feel means Mac OS X. The work was begun by (probably) P. luby, Dan Williams Herbert Duerr (most of fonts stuff) and Ed Peterlin. Currently in ruin, this directory does contain a lot of ideas to investigate. The most important part of needed changes for native version (3.0) will be done inside aqua dir inc: does contain all vcl relative includes [PART1]

prj : Does contain build.lst and d.lst build.lst give us dependencies: probably a lot for vcl, build 98th module over ~148. Everything graphical depends in vcl.

qa does contain all quality assurancy stuff

source: the most important:-) This directory contains common sources for all architectures and OS. Mainly: Windows, Unix: Linux , Mac OS X (X11), Solaris, including generic, kde and gtk plugins, and Aqua (Mac OS X without X11, work currently in progress).

Depending on the OS and the architecture, binaries are built or not.

test : This directory does contain all the needed stuff for tests. As example, in qa/testdocuments, you'll find three documents (one writer, one calc and one impress) for tests purpose. Other available tests are about memcheck and persistent window state.

unx : this directory does contain all unixes stuff. We have to understand what is inside to implement aqua port. For example, a lot of classes/strutures and objects use Xlib calls we have to replace with Carbon/Cocoa call (at least at first time) for Mac OS X native port.

win : Doing Mac OS X native port, I first believed this directory was not interesting for us, but I was wrong: OpenOffice.org roots are inside this directory, and a lot of comments and resources are inside. Mainly interesting if Carbon is used.

workben: Does contain a toy called "svdem". svdem is a binary, used for new implementations. For example, actual aqua development uses svdem intensively, to verify all important properties we need:

- display a window first (al least ...:))

- close cleanly this window

- display a point

- trace a line

- trace an area

- superpose two areas doing some important graphical operations, (like xor),

- display a character

- display a menu.

- intercept events correctly.

[FIXME] add more tests

Ericb 13:21, 3 June 2006 (CEST)

Naming convention

  • Class names start with upper case letters, to improve readability.
  • Implemented Class names are derived from the virtual classes but can of course take arbitrary names.

To increase readability, it's recommended to closely follow the base class name.

  • Impl prefix: means Implementation details. The concerned class or method or function is not used outside of this module, so no external code (or other libraries) can see it.


Events types using Carbon API (Mac OS X): A lot of events have to be managed in runtime. Here is a short description

- do not freeze because bad event loops

- event types implementation: currently, they are defined in vcl/aqua/inc/aquavclevents.hxx


Apart: exact sense of hedabu? -> [FIXME] as far as I understood it: it is like "copy" to deliver software into the solver, with extra magic. The header files for example are manipulated so paths need not be exact. "headabu" is supposed to disappear little by little.

What do we have to build in vcl?

Two libraries, corresponding ressources (localized) and a toy so called « svdem »

Common part:

in grey on right. The result will be a non architecture dependant library, built in all cases: for instance, libvcl680mxi.dylib on Mac Intel.

Specific part " a plugin " :

Light yellow: aqua part will only concern Mac OS X (non X11) the name will probably be libvcl_aqua680mxi.dylib

As you can see, win means windows part, in blue

For Unix build (Linux, Solaris or current Mac OS X X11), in purple.

Result will be:

libvclplug_PLUGIN680mxi.DLLSUFFIX , where PLUGIN can be iether gen (generic) or gtk (using gtk+) or kde (using qt), and DLLSUFFIX can be either .so (linux) or .dylib (Mac OS X) ...etc (I'm not sure for other cases).

Example: libvcl680mxi.dylib and libvclplug_aqua680mxi.dylib

In runtime, libvclplug_aqua will be linked to libvcl680. the first one will contain the real implementation (respecting the API, e.g. Carbon) while the generic libvcl will only contain pure virtual methods ...etc like "empty boxes".

Current Aqua content

EXISTING objects to build in aqua

Sal APP "everything application"

[FIXME] add all objects descriptions

saldata

  • Defined in plugin exclusively (i.e. for headers)

Unix: unx/source/app/saldata.cxx (header in unx/inc)

Aqua: aqua/source/app/saldata.cxx (header in win/inc)

Windows: win/source/app/saldata.cxx (header in aqua/inc)

  • Role: saldata contains various kind of data used by the implementation for the concerned platform. It is a bunch of global data collections reserved for the platform

It is just completely platform dependent, and nobody except this plugin can see it.

Saldata is something like a "second sal", but providing an abstraction regarding windowing and graphics, while SAL module provides an abstraction more Operating System oriented)

e.g.: have a look at XRequest array in vcl/unx/source/app/saldata.cxx => all calls are for Xlib (X11). Ok, useless there, but interesting:-)

[FIXME]: use Windows implementation could be a good starting point. Nothing is the same, but the current aquavcl cws uses similar objects, and it works very correctly.


saldatax.cxx uses classes SalInstance, SalObject, SalFrame, SalVirtualDevice, SalPrinter and fontList.

Current list of possible objects who can be instantiated/released:

structure SalData: does contain pointers on all kind of objects from other classes used in saldata.

inline functions: [FIXME]: complete the description

- SetSalData: - GetSalData: - GetAppSalData:

salinst

=> implemented in vcl/aqua/source/app/salinst.cxx

Role:

  • get environment, mutexes, instantiate AquaSalInstance (Ctor, Dtor),
  • instantiates/releases a lot of other objects using Get() / CreateObject() / DestroyObject() methods.


Current list of possible objects who can be instantiated/released: 

* VirtualDevice [FIXME]: exact role?

*Printer

- GetDefaultPrinter/ CreatePrinter() / DestroyPrinter - what a name ;-) -

- InfoPrinter (Get/Create/Delete)

- PrinterQueue (DeletePrinterQueueInfo / GetPrinterQueueInfo / GetPrinterQueueState) 

* System (Create / Delete) [FIXME]: what means system here?

* Events:

AquaSalInstance::SetEventCallback()

AquaSalInstance::SetErrorEvenCallback()

AquaSalInstance::GetConnectionIdentifier() 

* Menu / MenuItem:

AquaSalInstance::CreateMenu() / same for DestroyMenu()

AquaSalInstance::CreateMenuItem / same DestroyMenuItem() 

* Sound:

AquaSalInstance::CreateSalSound() => object to a pointer of SalSound type

Note: AquaSalInstance::DestroySalSound is not implemented (?) 

* Timer: CreateTimer() /

AquaSalInstance:: DestroyTimer() is not yet implemented (?)


Class MacImeStatus: inherits of SalI18NImeStatus

-> only there to see if there is a window to toggle into menubar [FIXME]??

AquaSalInstance::CreateI18NImeStatus(): instantiates MacImeStatus

For futher informations, see: Content of salinst.cxx

(Ericb 16:11, 20 May 2006 (CEST))

The main problem with SalTimer is the code we use is obsolete. To remove this deprecated code, sevarl work have been tried

1) Pavel Janik, in issue 75228

works, but a serious problem is remaining (a thread issue, nothing anybody explained yet)

2) eric bacahrd (code will be attached soon)

3) Michael Sicotte, who proposed to work on that, and continue Pavel implementation.

TO BE IMPLEMENTED (missing in Aqua)

OpenGL

VCL implementation of OpenGL is obsolete-> first plan canceled


New plan

Use existing Windows implementation as model, and bind Cocoa OpenGLView from Apple customCocoaOpenGL code sample (see files aquaOpenGLView.h and aquaOpenGLView.m like in the Cocoa implementation of the AquaPrintView

[done]

  • Define interface of the AquaOpenGLView class [done using Apple code]
  • Define the implementation of the AquaOpenGLView class [done, using Apple code]
  • Define the OpenGL implementation strategy in OGLTran_Transitioner.cxx
  1. aquaOpenGLView.m will stand in vcl/aqua/source/gdi
  2. aquaOpenGLView.h and vcl/aqua/inc
  3. aquaOpenGLView object will be built in libvcl.dylib

[todo]

  1. complete the class OGLTransitionerImpl implementation (for QUARTZ only, mainly define the right GLWin structure members)
  2. complete OGLTransitionerImpl::initWindowFromSlideShowView() ( QUARTZ case)

Philipp Lohmann suggestions :

create your own OpenGLView with the view of the parent window as superview

like NSOpenGLView pMyView = [[NSOpenGLView alloc] init....]

and then [pView addSubView: pMyView]

See: Mac_OS_X_Porting_-_Native_Controls#ScrollBar

DrawThemeButton() documentation

Started

See: Mac_OS_X_Porting_-_Native_Controls#ComboBox

Started 

DrawThemeButton
Draws a button.

OSStatus DrawThemeButton (
   const Rect * inBounds,
   ThemeButtonKind inKind,
   const ThemeButtonDrawInfo * inNewInfo,
   const ThemeButtonDrawInfo * inPrevInfo,
   ThemeEraseUPP inEraseProc,
   ThemeButtonDrawUPP inLabelProc,
   UInt32 inUserData
);
Parameters
inBounds
A pointer to a structure of type Rect. Pass a rectangle specifying the boundary of the button, in local coordinates.

inKind
A value of type ThemeButtonKind. Pass a constant specifying the type of button to draw. 
See “Theme Buttons” for descriptions of possible values.

inNewInfo
A pointer to a structure of type ThemeButtonDrawInfo. Before calling DrawThemeButton, 
set the structure to contain the new state, value, and adornment for the button. 
DrawThemeButton uses the information passed in the inNewInfo and inPrevInfo parameters
to apply transitional animation or sound effects as the button state changes, if such are 
specified under the current theme.

inPrevInfo
A pointer to a structure of type ThemeButtonDrawInfo. If the button state is changing,
set the structure to contain the previous state, value, and adornment for the button, 
to allow DrawThemeButton to apply any transitional effects. If the button state is not 
changing, you can pass NULL.

inEraseProc
A value of type ThemeEraseUPP. If you have a custom background, use this parameter to pass
a universal function pointer to an application-defined function such as that described in 
ThemeEraseProcPtr. DrawThemeButton calls this function to erase the background before drawing
 the button. If you pass NULL, DrawThemeButton's default behavior is to erase the background
 for you.

inLabelProc
A value of type ThemeButtonDrawUPP. If you pass a universal function pointer to an 
application-defined function such as that described in ThemeButtonDrawProcPtr, DrawThemeButton
 calls that function to draw the label of the button. If you pass NULL, no label is drawn.

inUserData
An unsigned 32-bit integer. Provide any data to be passed in to the callback functions specified in 
the inLabelProc and inEraseProc parameters. Pass NULL if you do not wish to provide any data.

Return Value
A result code. See “Appearance Manager Result Codes”.

Discussion
The DrawThemeButton function draws a theme-compliant button. If a ThemeEraseProcPtr is 
specified in the inEraseProc parameter, DrawThemeButton uses that function to erase the 
background of the button before drawing the button. After the button is drawn, if a
ThemeButtonDrawProcPtr is specified in the inLabelProc parameter, DrawThemeButton calls
that function to draw the button’s label.

Note that DrawThemeButton also draws any appearance adornments for the button and that these
can extend beyond the button’s basic bounding rectangle, as specified in the inBounds parameter,
and may be of variable shape. You may therefore wish to call the function
GetThemeButtonBackgroundBounds to obtain the actual rectangle containing the pixels belonging
to a button under the current theme.

Version Notes
This function is available with Appearance Manager 1.1 and later.

Availability
Available in CarbonLib 1.0 and later when Appearance 1.1 or later is present.
Available in Mac OS X 10.0 and later.
Declared In
Appearance.h

HIComboBoxCreate() documentation

HIComboBoxCreate
Creates a combo box control.

OSStatus HIComboBoxCreate (
   const HIRect* boundsRect,
   CFStringRef text,
   const ControlFontStyleRec* style,
   CFArrayRef list,
   OptionBits inAttributes,
   HIViewRef* outComboBox
);
Parameters

The default text in the editable portion of the control. Can be NULL.

style
The font style of the both editable text and the text in the disclosure list. Can be NULL.

list
The default values available in the disclosure list. Can be NULL.

inAttributes
The default attributes of the combo box. For possible values, see “Combo Box Attributes”.

outComboBox
On exit, a pointer to a reference for the new control.

Discussion
The combo box can be used in compositing mode, as well as traditional Control Manager mode.
When created, this view is invisible. To see the view, you must show the view by calling HIViewSetVisible.

Click here to see the complete list


Content of vcl/inc

Notes:

1) Where to find includes

<foo/bar.hxx> means you can find bar.hxx in the foo module. The new style file is foo/inc/foo/bar.hxx, old style is foo/inc/bar.hxx and sometimes the file is somewhere else in the tree or generated. The deliver process copies/generates the file into solver at solver/680/build_type/inc/foo. Good for fixing broken builds. ;-)

2) suffix .h (for C calls or first version?) or .hxx (C++)

A) Family of includes:

Looking more closely at the list brings to the fore (expression from dictionary ;-)) that include names are informatives. Most of the time, the name gives the function/role. What is interesting is the files with name begining with "sal". sal means System Abstraction Layer + include's function (or explicit name).

Partial list, for example:

salatype.hxx

salbmp.hxx

salctrlhandle.hxx

salctype.hxx

salframe.hxx

salgdi.hxx

salgeom.hxx

sallayout.hxx (main header for fonts services) ... salmenu salnativewidgets ...etc

Other important families are "sv" and "uno" or "win" (window) prefixed. sal family will be analysed apart.

B) Includes of includes

Some includes are more important than other. To prove this, just have a look is sufficient: some are always needed, and some more rarely.

To verify, a simple test to do in vcl/inc:

egrep -H "#include" ./* | wc -l gives me 681 lines ! And some of them are the same...

To know more, the precedent command line can be modified to make appear the numerous call to the same includes files.


egrep -H "#include" ./* | cut -d"#" -f2 | sort > liste.txt

The content of liste.txt is explicit: dllapi.h, sv.h and some other are very important, while some other includes are only one or two times used. We can see too that vos includes are numerous, even if vos is deprecated** 

**see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Source_code_directories


I'm nearly sure that a complete analysis of just this result will give us a lot of information.

I propose to change the order of analysis starting with dllapi.h and sv.h.


[to be continued]

B1) "sal" includes family

salinst.hxx This seems to be the main include file

salatype.hxx

salctrlhandle.hxx

salctype.hxx

salframe.hxx

salgdi.hxx

salgeom.hxx

sallayout.hxx <-- see Native Fonts implementation

salgtype.hxx

vcl/inc/salobj.hxx


B2) Classicals includes

file: abstdlg.hxx [ means abstract dialog ]

This includes does contain the following classes definitions:

[FIXME]: choose a precise presentation template for classes


VclAbstractDialog,

VclAbstractTerminateDialog,

VclAbstractRefreshableDialog,

VclAbstractDialogFactory,


uses <tools/solar.h> , <tools/string.hxx> +

"dllapi.h"

Note: dllapi.h is very interesting because when we have to find (for example) a library suffix, SAL_DLLEXTENSSION can replace all suffixes (every OS's and archs). Just including sal/config.h does it !


Classes:

Window -> what? [FIXME] ResId -> what?

Does contain the prototype of VclAbstractDialog, inherit of VCL_DLLPUBLIC


file: dllapi.h [ dll for dynamic linked library ] Uses: <sal/config.h> and >sal/types/h> includes: VCL_DLLPUBLIC macro


file: accel.h [ means accelerator ]

Classes:

Accelerator { } ImplAccelEntry { public members:

Names

mnId maKeyCode mpAccel mpAutoAccel mbEnabled }

function / returns / parameters

ImplGetKeyCode / void / KeyFuncType eFunc, ref rCode1 , ref rCode2, ref rCode3

Avoid Warnings

What follows is based on wae4extensions, wae4binfilter01, wae4binfilter02 cws's.


Variables initialization in C++

Associated typical warning :


Why

C++ langage requests that variables are declared. Variables can be declared at any place (same in C, when using C99 standard). To use a variable, one has to define it, means give it a name, AND a data type to be stored, then the compiler can reserve a memory location for it.

Define it

One variable can be defined as follow : 

type Name_of_variable;


Or, if ever there are several variables with the same type : 

type Name_variable1, Name_variable2, ...;

Note: for readability reason, prefer one line per variable : 

type Name_variable1;
type Name_variable2;

Examples: 

char my_character = 'B';
short nValue = 10;

Initialize it

Variable declaration does only reserve a place for it, where store it. Until a value has been defined for it, this variable does contain a random value (garbage), what is not acceptable.

Good practice, coupled with good Design, consists in initilalize the variable, and the best moment is at declaration time.

Affectation operator is = , and the syntax is: 

type Name_of_the_variable = value;

For example :

float nFoo = 125.36;

Other cases (examples)

Pointers

const String* pRet; // Bad 

const String* pRet = NULL  ; //  Good: until &pRet is used, we have no content in pRet

Integers

Typical warning :


Example of fix : 

sal_Int16 nMode;  // Bad 
sal_Int16 nMode = 0;  // Good

Booleans

sal_Bool bParaSpace;  // bad -> random value, or whorst, the previous one will be used

sal_Bool bParaSpace = sal_False;  // good

Other examples (OpenOffice.org specific)

Ctors initialization in C++

Most of the issues we have, are due to a non matching order between the ctor in the interface, and the implementation.

Typical warning : 

../../inc/bf_starmath/symbol.hxx: In constructor 'binfilter::SmSym::SmSym()':

../../inc/bf_starmath/symbol.hxx:102: warning: 'binfilter::SmSym::bDocSymbol' will be initialized after

../../inc/bf_starmath/symbol.hxx:96: warning:   'String binfilter::SmSym::aSetName'

/Users/ericb/Desktop/DEV300_m26/binfilter/bf_starmath/source/starmath_symbol.cxx:84: warning:   when initialized here

As you can see, the order of the declaration in the prototype differs of the one in the implementation ( starmath_symbol.cxx for instance).

To avoid warnings, we must reorder the variables/members/functions initialization in the Ctor, in the .cxx, or in the header, but only in the case the initialization follows the definition (find such initialization in the header is basically strange or maybe wrong, but that's not the point)

For example :

Enumerations in C++

When X cases are defined in an enumeration, and only several used in a switch, without a "default" case being defined, warnings are ttriggered at build time by the compiler.

Typical warnings (can be extremely verbose) !! ): 

/Users/ericb/Desktop/DEV300_m26/binfilter/bf_starmath/source/starmath_mathml.cxx: 

In member function 'void binfilter::SmXMLExport::ExportFont(const binfilter::SmNode*, int)':

Verbose warnings can be avoided simply adding : 

 default:
     break;

For example : 

@@ -831,6 +830,8 @@

+/*N*/       break;

 /*N*/ 	SetState( SC_CAS_REJECTED );
 /*N*/ 	RemoveAllLinks();

Be carefull: before to add default case, please verify you don't break the algorithm.

Unused variables

Bad copy paste can lead to defined but never used variables -> compiler complains, and create warnings.

Typical warning :

/Users/ericb/Desktop/DEV300_m26/binfilter/bf_starmath/source/starmath_cfgitem.cxx: In member function 'binfilter::SmSym binfilter::SmMathConfig::ReadSymbol(binfilter::SmMathConfigItem&, const rtl::OUString&, const rtl::OUString&) const':

Solution: see unused parameters (Stephan Bergmann explanation)

Variables in catch blocks

A varialbe well defined and initialized, but put in catch block, can trigger warnings.

Solution: cast the variable using void type

For example : 

@@ -3310,7 +3309,7 @@
