------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Apr 27 10:30:22 -0700 2006 ------- No, an #ifdef UNX would be even more worse. ;-) The configuration should be used to control features. Yes there's other usage of environment variables but this should only be the case if this is the only way for something that's used during bootstrapping or similar and just controls a technical feature. F.e. using Open GL, X fonts etc. or not does not really modify the feature set of OOo but disabling Auto Recovery does. And SAL_ENABLE_FILELOCKING is a workaround for some locking problems that are file system issues that can't be controlled by OOo. Furthermore it's not possible to use the configuration API in SAL. The right way to introduce an environment variable would be by using "#if OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL > 1" because the solution is for debugging purposes. The Control-C stuff is not Unix only, take a deeper look into sal/systools/guistdio/guistdio.cpp which I wrote for Windows. It enables Windows GUI programs to printf to a console, being terminated by Control-C etc., so believe me I know what you mean. ;-) But - my biggest concern is something different. I want those environment variables to be documented. There are many many other guys that write issues "give me that env var for disabling/enabling this feature or that feature". Main brain is to small to remember all those stuff if I would accept those patches. But I would prefer to continue a discussion offline, not inside an issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
