Hi Seth, I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. OOo should have PyUno and - if it is a build provided by Oracle - its own version of Python and both should fit to each other.

[dev] Re: Problems downloading source through Mercurial
I was under the impression that I could use OOo's PyUno to read and manipulate .doc and .docx files from Python and even to interact with those files while they are opened. Is this not correct? If it is, I would prefer to use Python because of its natural language processing capabilities (e.g. NLTK). Also, if I can avoid having to spend between $600 and $1,000 to read .doc and .docx through Microsoft Visual Studio, I would certainly prefer to do so.

It's been announced that OpenOffice project was donated to Apache Software Foundation as incubator project. what does it exactly mean? will there be a new website and they said that they'll be moving the source code somewhere on the Apache side. does this mean there will be a new way of accessing the openoffice.org? Two questions, two answers: Yes. Yes. 2. I'm a seasonal programmer and I'd like to contribute. The documentation for getting the source and start programming is too much confusing. There are multiple applications with little documentation or too much written and nothing to the point. First of all, I have Windows system and don't have any other choice. Second, the documentation is written in genetic format, of variety of platforms at the same time and is very confusing. Are you referring to http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide I don't think that this documentation is too much or not to the point. But I would be interested to see where it is can be improved. What I would like to see is something straight to the point: a. this is Windows, this is how you do it. b. this is Linix, this is how you do it etc. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide IMHO is exactly this. 3. I've installed the free software necessary to access the code and compile, debug etc. I is very difficult to configure. A lot of different pices working together. I downloaded MinGW, Mercurial, some other things. I don't know what to do with it. I spend hours just to figure something out. I don't think it's efficient enough. You don't need mingw, you should use Visual Studio. There is a free version (free as in free beer). The mingw build indeed is very slow and complicated. 4. anyway, what's happening to the project (question 1 again) I'd like to see better wiki and clearer documentation and better organized. Somebody has to do it. If you want to get better documentation, you are welcome to help. Please send suggestions for improvement. IMHO using the mailing list ooo-...@incubator.apache.org for this would be better, but we can do it here also if you prefer that.

Thus, currently it is by purpose and line and fill style for OLEs is not supported. The bool is there to activate the enhancement easily when that distinction will be possible, so it's true to 'be compatible with the paint version' intentional.

As can be seen some lines after this: // add graphic content appendPrimitive2DSequenceToPrimitive2DSequence(aRetval, getOLEContent()); the OLE graphic content is added after the line and fill primtives, so it should be painted above line and fill anyways. So: I cannot explain why the content is missing when you switch the bool, but it is wrong to do so. It will ruin used functionality. I would try to go in the direction to find out if getOLEContent() is empty in your case and why. Is the bugdoc available somewhere? I would like to take a look...

I believe that the view cursor has a text table property that you can

[dev] Re: Delete table in cursor position
You should reply to the list, not to me directly.
I did look at this, and there are problems with any solution that I
tried. For example, first, I tried walking the text table anchor, but I
repeatedly crashed LO when I tried that. I also found that performing a
few sneaky things (such as looking at the anchor's text object and then
creating a cursor at that text object failed when I had a cell that
contained ONLY a text table (because creating a cursor in that cell did
not leave any place for that cursor to be except for in the containing
text table).
Next, I tried another sneaky thing such as simply disposing the text
table and then checking to see if the view cursor was still in a text
table. it looks like that approach may work, but I did not pursue it
past a few very basic tests.
sub MainTable
Dim oTable
Dim oVC
Dim sName$
ovc = ThisComponent.getCurrentController().getViewCursor()
Do While NOT IsNull (ovc.TextTable) AND NOT IsEmpty(ovc.TextTable)
oTable = ovc.TextTable
sName = oTable.Name
oTable.dispose()
'Print removed sName
Loop
End Sub

[dev] Re: OpenOffice sourse code
Hi, It could be easy to implement your desire as you might guess, I think. The key module would be vcl in the source code of OpenOffice.org. outdev.hxx defines the OS independent interface of virtual devices such as OS dependent real display devices, printer, PDF exporter, and so on. The upper applications such as Writer, Calc, and Impress work with the virtual devices through the interface. http://hg.services.openoffice.org/OOO330/file/OOO330_m20/vcl/inc/vcl/outdev.hxx http://hg.services.openoffice.org/OOO330/file/OOO330_m20/vcl/source/gdi outdev?.cxx To build your own cloud version of OpenOffice.org, you could add a new virtual device that serves your remote users. E.g. the virtual device could be a hand-made web server that translates GET and PUT requests from the client side into key/mouse events and drawing actions for the upper applications. IMHO, if I were you, I would not use any web protocol to realize it. Because it might require thousands of lines of JavaScript as AJAX in the client side. Despite the efforts, its quality might be poorer than a real OpenOffice.org. So, how? The virtual device would draw texts and shapes on the internal bitmap virtual display first and then send the changes of bitmap via well-known VNC server protocol or video streaming protocol to the client side. The idea comes from my situation where a VNC server is located in my SOHO in Japan and I travel to the US, Germany, Italy, China, ... Wherever I were, the view of OpenOffice.org running on a virtual machine can be projected on my laptop through VNC viewer. Before leaving the US I leave a document of OpenOffice.org open and close the VNC connection. After arriving at a hotel in Germany I can work with the document without any interruption. For me, that is the cloud. Anyway, I believe you can do it! :-) Serving several users concurrently for a single document might be much more challenging and attractive. Source files of OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/ Get files OOo_3.3.0_src_xxx.tar.bz2 and extract them.

Thanks for the feedback, indeed it makes intuitively sense to check out that part of the API. The simplest way of defining the rows to exchange (that I can think of right now) would be to just to select two rows in the spreadsheet. If more or less than two rows are selected, this would cause an exception.

Hi Oliver, since nobody els has answered, I'd like to offer some advice. If you're serious about learning to program, I suggest you start with something smaller than OpenOffice.org. OOo consists of millions of lines of C++ code, which is daunting even for a seasoned developer. If you want to learn C++, a good way is to google for C++ tutorials on the web or - if you have the money - to buy a beginner's book. Microsoft is offering the free Visual C++ Express Edition, which I consider a good choice for a beginner. You could also ask your school, if they have computer courses. Last but not least there are also a lot of computer programming summer camps. I hope this helps a little. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Sorry, this mail is too long...
No problem, I'll briefly go through your five items one by one:
1. Delegation of the responsibility to choose a type of memory allocator
To achieve both stability and performance at the same time, I would like to
propose Don't do all of it in the SAL, rather Delegate certain
responsibility to its users, i.e. programmers.
Who knows the type of life time of data? SAL does? No. The programmers do.
Do they? Theoretically, they do have the information available that is
necessary to choose the most efficient approach that is still correct
(depending on how early data can be destroyed again, whether it needs to be
multi-thread safe or async safe, etc.).
However, in practice, the necessary information is often so big that
programmers will make mistakes, choosing approaches that are incorrect. If
these are not caught at compile time, and lead to program failure, I think
this is a problem (and history shows it to be a rather severe one).
2. Potential dead lock
A code for crash reporter has a potential, dead lock problem.
http://hg.services.openoffice.org/DEV300/file/tip/sal/osl/unx/backtrace.c
Asynchronous-unsafe functions such as fprintf() are used in the context of
signal handler.
Consider this situation:
1. A Segment violation, aka SEGV occurs in malloc() or free() due to
memory corruption. Such a function holds the global mutex lock.
2. The first call of fprintf(), it internally calls malloc() to obtain a
memory area as a text buffer. Then a dead lock occurs.
For that topic, I would be posing a question later.
Yes, OOo's signal handler code is horribly broken. I do not know whether
its original authors were unaware of the gross violations of correct
programming that are taking place here, but general consensus appears to be
that the code happens to work (by accident, I would say) most of the time,
and sometimes just locks up even worse than the crash that caused the signal
handler to be called in the first place.
Anyway, this should be cleaned up one day (and is indeed a topic for a
thread of its own).
Please have a look at an additional code fragment in the destructor above:
if ( Applicatoin::IsMemoryCheckRequested() )
for ( iterator m_vector ) // Turn them to be a trap
alter_page_attribute( *it,
NO_READ_ACCESS|NO_WRITE_ACCESS|NO_EXEC );
1. soffice.bin is invoked with a new command line option such as
-memorycheck
2. Applicatoin::IsMemoryCheckRequested() returns TRUE.
3. The memory pages being freed turns to be a trap.
4. A problematic code mistakenly attempts to read or write data in the
already-freed-memory-area.
5. The trap sets off the alarm and an interruption is sent by the OS.
6. A signal handler in the SAL catches the interruption.
7. A crash report that reveals the exact location of the code is made.
We have been cultivating thousands of test scenarios for more than a
decade.
Just leave the qatesttool running for a day and night with the option
-memorycheck.
4. Utilizing the cutting-edge technology invented in the 21th century.
solaris$ cat attempt-of-accessing-the-already-freed-memory-area.c
#include stdlib.h
int main()
{
char *p = (char *) malloc(10);
free(p);
*p = 1;
return 0;
}
$ cc -g attempt-of-accessing-the-already-freed-memory-area.c
$ LD_PRELOAD=watchmalloc.so.1 MALLOC_DEBUG=WATCH,RW ./a.out
Trace/Breakpoint Trap (core dumped)
$ dbx ./a.out core
...
program terminated by signal TRAP (write access watchpoint trap)
Current function is main
7 *p = 1;
Is it easy enough?
Both approaches above (Applicatoin::IsMemoryCheckRequested and watchmalloc)
are good for debugging buggy software, but I do not think they are very good
answers to the question: When designing classes like OUString etc., how
should efficiency be balanced against safety and maintainability?
I understand that you argue that efficiency should be a priority, and safety
can be guaranteed (more or less thoroughly) by testing the code with the
mechanisms outlined above.
I rather argue that the abstractions available to the programmers should be
as safe as possible (even if that costs some efficiency), as programmers
will invariably make mistakes, so the potential for mistakes should be
minimized. Testing code is all well and important (very much so!), but the
tests cannot find all problems (let alone the fact that test coverage for
OOo is still rather small).
This is probably just another facet of the everlasting dispute between the
dynamic and static typing camps. I confess I am sold on the benefits of
type theory.
5. 99.9% use cases could be the default.

In the case above, i.e. in the typical, 99.9% code of OpenOffice.org, I
don't think multithread awareness is required.

File - New - Spreadsheet 2. work on it and save it. 3. File - Close. In the step 1, construct an instance of memory allocator for (2). In the step 2, use it to allocate memory chunks lasting as long as the document is open. In the step 3, destroy the allocator to completely free the allocated memory. Lessons we might have learned: We can implement and utilize some purpose oriented memory allocators as well as the general, expensive one: malloc() and free(). Programmers may wisely choose what memory allocator is appropriate for questioned data. On the other hand, now might be a perfect time to discuss crazy ideas, without mundane details getting in the way. Aha! here is another crazy ideas :-) https://bitbucket.org/tora/ooo-idea-zstring/src memory_allocator_for_zstring.cxx shows an idea of reusable, cache, memory allocation mechanism for new String class. The key concept here is not to actually free the memory being freed, but to cache it for a later use. Reuse the most recently freed memory first so that the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) achieves higher hit ratio. In contrast, if the oldest freed memory is used first, the entire system performance might suffer because the relevant entry is surely absent from the TLB and, moreover, the relevant memory page might have been swapped out to a disk device. vec.hxx implements a c++ template for cheaply expandable vector. test_vec.cxx demonstrates usage of vec.hxx Best regards, Tora -- - To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

(Performance considerations are of course valid, but they must be balanced against safety and maintainability considerations.) What you describe with Slicing cheese and throwing them out at once can be done, but I would not want to do it manually. There are systems more clever than C++, building on effect types and region-based memory management, that exploit such optimizations. But there, it is the language implementation---and not the programmer writing a program in that language---that carries out the proof that keeping data in a region of memory that is discarded wholesale at a certain point in time is sound. That said, it might work to map your various levels of data---from data lasting until the soffice.bin quits to data lasting until a current function call returns---to different C++ types with appropriate conversion functions that potentially need to copy data, to statically ensure sound memory access while on the one hand allowing to exploit optimized memory management strategies and on the other hand still being safe if data does escape from its anticipated level.

First of, I am doubtful that encouraging manual memory management is a good
idea. Errors in manual memory management probably are the cause for the vast
majority of severe failures in C/C++ programs.
Please be noticed that I don't say programmers should need to explicitly call
memory management related functions such as malloc() or free().
Rather, I would like to suggest thinking of the characteristics of the
questioned data.
1. Delegation of the responsibility to choose a type of memory allocator
To achieve both stability and performance at the same time, I would like to propose Don't do
all of it in the SAL, rather Delegate certain responsibility to its users, i.e.
programmers.
Who knows the type of life time of data? SAL does? No. The programmers do.
Life time of data
(1) data lasting until the soffice.bin quits.
(2) data lasting until a document is closed.
(3) data lasting until a current thread ends.
(4) data lasting until a certain task finishes.
(5) data lasting until a current function call returns.
(6) data lasting until a current block ends.
Multithread awareness
(a) data that is shared with more than one threads.
(b) data that is used in the only this thread.
Asynchronous awareness
(i) data that is used in a asynchronously called function such as a signal
handler.
(ii) data that is used in a normal function.
2. Potential dead lock
A code for crash reporter has a potential, dead lock problem.
http://hg.services.openoffice.org/DEV300/file/tip/sal/osl/unx/backtrace.c
Asynchronous-unsafe functions such as fprintf() are used in the context of
signal handler.
Consider this situation:
1. A Segment violation, aka SEGV occurs in malloc() or free() due to memory
corruption. Such a function holds the global mutex lock.
2. The first call of fprintf(), it internally calls malloc() to obtain a memory
area as a text buffer. Then a dead lock occurs.
For that topic, I would be posing a question later.
Hence, I would always try to abstract from actual memory as much as possible.
(Performance considerations are of course valid, but they must be balanced
against safety and maintainability considerations.)
3. Come up with the exciting measures
There in no need to keep relying on the traditional approaches invented in the
20th century.
With my experiences from 8 bit processor, I certainly believe the programmers'
awareness of how memory area is treated is the crucial factor to achieve
performance, safety, and maintainability at the same time.
I do not have an objection against your idea abstraction, though.

if ( Applicatoin::IsMemoryCheckRequested() )
for ( iterator m_vector ) // Turn them to be a trap
alter_page_attribute( *it, NO_READ_ACCESS|NO_WRITE_ACCESS|NO_EXEC );
1. soffice.bin is invoked with a new command line option such as -memorycheck
2. Applicatoin::IsMemoryCheckRequested() returns TRUE.
3. The memory pages being freed turns to be a trap.
4. A problematic code mistakenly attempts to read or write data in the
already-freed-memory-area.
5. The trap sets off the alarm and an interruption is sent by the OS.
6. A signal handler in the SAL catches the interruption.
7. A crash report that reveals the exact location of the code is made.

Just leave the qatesttool running for a day and night with the option
-memorycheck.

There's an old suggestion to treat small strings differently, see
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Uno/Binary/Analysis/String_Performance.
Thank you for the information!
In addition to it, I am wondering if these ideas might help a lot.
As many already know, malloc() is too general and too expensive.
Moreover, free() is much more expensive than malloc().
e.g. a source code of malloc() in glibc:
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=malloc/malloc.c
Not only the large number of machine instructions, but also its waste
of memory usage affects the system-wide performance.
In reality, malloc(1) consumes 32 bytes on CentOS 5.4 64 bit kernel:
http://tora-japan.com/wiki/Boundaries_of_memory_allocation_with_malloc%28%29
Even though current OpenOffice.org runs as a multi-thread process,
it runs as if it is a single thread. So, we could have several options
to implement its underlying memory allocation mechanism for the specific
purposes of OpenOffice.org.
1) Memory allocation mechanism used in a kernel
For temporal use, utilize the memory allocation mechanism similar to
the one normally used in a kernel. Use a single bit to hold the status
of memory chunk. e.g: 0 means vacant ; 1 denotes occupied. The size of
memory chunk could be 128, 256, 512, 1024, ...
2) Slicing cheese and throwing them out at once
For the internal tasks such as Save as and Export to we might get
a big advantage. Such a task starts from the framework, calls thousands
of methods, and finally leaves the only single value meaning a SUCCESS
or FAILURE. No String instance involved during the task is needed to be
persistent.
#define ALLOCATION_SIZE ( 1024 * 1024 ) // 1MB
#define ALIGNMENT 4
void* SCATTOAO::xmalloc( size_t nSize )
{
nSize = ( ( nSize - 1 ) / ALIGNMENT + 1 ) * ALIGNMENT;
if ( m_nRest nSize ) {
nAllocationSize = ( ( nSize - 1 ) / ALLOCATION_SIZE + 1 ) *
ALLOCATION_SIZE;
p = memory_page_allocation( nAllocationSize, PRIVATE|ANONIMOUS );
m_vector.append( Entry( p, nAllocationSize ) );
m_pNose = p;
n_nRest = nAllocationSize;
}
ret = m_pNose;
m_pNose += nSize; // Slice a block of cheese
m_nRest -= nSize;
return (void *) ret;
}
void SCATTOAO::xfree( void* )
{
// do nothing at all
}
SCATTOAO::~SCATTOAO()
{
for ( iterator m_vector ) // Throw them at once
memory_page_deallocation( it-m_pAddress, it-m_nSize );
}
The instance of allocator class SCATTOAO is a thread specific object and
it is used by the only own thread. Therefore, no mutex lock is required.
I think the above are just a tip of potential, brilliant ideas.
Let's discuss later this kind of topic once the surrounding situation is
settled.

Tora

(From your mailings it is clear that you have not removed functionality from the reference OOo or LO packages from the respective Debian package, therefore you have never been meant to be addressed.) No? P.S.: In the case of Ubuntu I would expect that they at least advertise very prominently that their OOo/LO distribution is not a standard one, They base on our packages, we have the same structure. Thus I am defending this. but one that lacks features compared to the standard OOo/LO packages. Nonsense. Again, install the correct package. You also have to install the correct packages when you install the standard OOo/LO packages. If you leave one of those out, you also loose something. Would cou call that crippled? No. This way, everyone would be aware of this fact and if the information was given, how to add the missing pieces (sudo apt-get install librefoffice), end-users would become able to upgrade the special Ubuntu OOo/LO to the full package on their own. Which missing pieces? What did you install in the first place? Any clueless user should use libreoffice as the start point, when Ubuntus install does something else, ok, but then again, people can install stuff afterwards. (That said, if you install Debian and choose desktop you get libreoffice installed, no idea what Ubuntu does) Would you also argue it's a crippling of someone installed a standard OOo/LO package but left -xsltfilter out? Which he could? And wonders why those don't work? No. Same story here. But we are going in cirlces, I grok that you don't care about proper packaging and making optional stuff choosable. Thankfully distros are not following every stupidity and make life of their users easier by allowing them to get rid of stuff THEY don't want/need.

But in fact, with clipboard, UNO acceptor thread and such stuff, we have just enough multithreading going on to cause the overhead, without the benefit of actually doing work in parallel. Of course we should try to make more use of multiple threads. This isn't a new idea either, see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Calc/Performance/misc. Christian did some experiments with parallel loading a while ago (http://blogs.oracle.com/GullFOSS/entry/xml_performance_and_now_for). The results for Impress weren't spectacular, but Calc or Writer may be different. 2) Slicing cheese and throwing them out at once For the internal tasks such as Save as and Export to we might get a big advantage. Such a task starts from the framework, calls thousands of methods, and finally leaves the only single value meaning a SUCCESS or FAILURE. No String instance involved during the task is needed to be persistent. Right now, that isn't entirely true. For example, saving might need to calculate a formula, and the calculated result is then kept in the cell, in a string that continues to be referenced after saving. There might be similar cases elsewhere. These would probably have to be moved into a separate step before saving. Sounds a bit fragile, but then it could actually save a significant amount of time. I think the above are just a tip of potential, brilliant ideas. Let's discuss later this kind of topic once the surrounding situation is settled. On the other hand, now might be a perfect time to discuss crazy ideas, without mundane details getting in the way.

Debian (and thus Ubuntu) does quite a few changes (for example moving jars around), which the original OOo code does not handle too well. Sorry to correct you: installing the genuine OOo from http://www.OpenOffice.org works. Flawlessly. unoinfo.sh has no role in this at all -- it is not even packaged on Ubuntu. That's one of these amateurish, almost crazy assumptions along the lines: I do not see any use in it, hence let us drop it, it's probably crap anyway. It is almost crazy, because quite a few projects rely on unoinfo supplying the correct CLASSPATH definition for interacting with OOo/LO (the sequence matters), which then simply won't work with the Ubuntu distros. Instead one needs to deinstall LO, remove ~/.libreoffice in home, get the official LO distribution and install it, then things start to work as was the case in the past with OOo. No, you would need to bootstrap with a ClassLoader having a correct resource path. Please, give me a break! Never having seen this being reported against LibreOffice on launchpad, it was assumed as not a serious issue. Who is it? And for what reasons would it assume as not a seriious issue? This is why I qualify such decisions to be amateurish, harming such endeavors enormeously. (Companies affected by the negative outcome of such decisions either turn away or kick out the broken installation.) Whining about it on the mailing list of a different project instead of filing a bug is kind of ridiculous still, isnt it? Whining? This was meant to point out to the OpenOffice.org list that those that have broken OOo for Ubuntu are breaking LO as well! And by the way, if you wanted to be constructive, why did you not supply a link to the place for reporting it? If it was easy to find such a place, I would have reported it (actually I even would report it still as this is a potential problem for quite a few more apps, even if the Ubuntu people are not realizing it, hoping that they are not ignorants). As for my application the workaround is simple: just install the genuine OOo (or LO for that matter) and do not use the broken Ubuntu installation. (Besides, the Ubuntu people broke the user interface with 11.04 bad times, either taking their users hostage for experiments, or having total amateurs in charge for the most important application there exists for an operating system for PC-based end users.) ---rony -- - To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
