------- Additional comments from h...@openoffice.org Fri Jun 19 10:47:18 +0000 2009 ------- Many parts of the OOo codebase have the common problem that only codepoints from the unicode base plane are considered. As a rule of thumb any use of individual sal_Unicodes has these problems, because that type was defined as only 16-bit unsigned integer. Th Better alternatives (like sal_UCS4 or sal_UTF32) as suggested in http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=interface-discuss&by=thread&from=1589799 were rejected because other 32bit types could be used. That important semantic context (the value representing a unicode codepoint)t would be lost by this "interface vs. implementation" abuse though. With some automation it should be possible to find code that uses indiviual sal_Unicodes. Looking over every one of them and fixing them (using something that doesn't loose the higher order bits and the unicode semantic) at is a lot of work though. This tracker issue could help to determine the priority of such a high effort task. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
