------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Feb 20 06:15:56 -0800 2006 ------- The types have the same size, but are mangled differently on different platforms (long <->int). So any C++ method that takes a ULONG parameter has a different mangling as the same one with a sal_uInt32 parameter. Now if you exchange these methods in vcl library, then everything dependent on vcl suddenly misses a symbol unless it gets build again. This would cause the patch mechanism to break since not all libraries are built on the same header. Currently the patch does not contain all libraries that depend on vcl. Of course, neither the official OOo build nor Novell's or RedHat's build would be influenced by that, since they are always compiled from scratch and completely installed like that. Nevertheless there are vendors (well at least Sun ;-) ) who make use of the patch install sets which can be created by honoring the PATCH flag given to files in scp2; these patches contain only the files changed since the OOo 2.0 release. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
