Fix "Compiler warnings to worry about" --------------------------------------
Key: LUCENENET-341 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-341 Project: Lucene.Net Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Andy Pook Priority: Minor >From email thread... Subscribed 1- Ah, hadn't spotted ISerializable. However, the recommendation for combining ISerializable and sealed classes is to use private instead of protected. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182343(VS.80).aspx - "For a sealed class, make the constructor private; otherwise, make it protected.") Should I create a separate issue for each or a single issue with three patches? --Andy >From "Digy" <digyd...@gmail.com> Subject RE: Compiler warnings to worry about? Date Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:06:39 GMT Hi Andy, 1- No we can not remove the protected constructors. They are used in serialization process via reflection. See the issue http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-338 . 2- You are correct in general, but no danger in this case (SupportClass.ThreadClass) 3- Yes, we should add the override/new keyword. Your patch is welcome. PS: Please subscribe to mailing list to send mails. Otherwise I'll have to do a allow/deny confirmation (as a moderator) with every mail you send and it can get lost among spams.
