committed; thanks ! :-) Closing - Sophie |
Created attachment 39112 [details] patch to convert QueryValue() and PutValue() virtual funcitons to bool The patch is very large (almost 1M), because both BOOL and sal_Bool are defined as unsigned char, and of course bool is... a boolean. The C++ compiler doesn't like a virtual funciton declared as returning a unsigned char and re-implemented returnuing a bool. So it is an all or nothing operation. the only way to do that is phase would be: 1/ introduce a new typedef TBOOL as unsigned char 2/ do many small patchs to migrate the BOOL and sal_BOOL impacted by this patch to TBOOL 3/ a patch to change the typedef of TBOOL to bool 4/ another series of patch to change TBOOL to bool 5/ remove the TBOOL typdedef
