Getting reviews and submitting patches

2009-06-14 Thread Dave MacLachlan
Sorry for the newbie question, but I want to make sure I get it  
right ;-)


I've got a couple of patches that I'd like to submit to gnustep-base.  
Google has signed off on having them submitted to the project, so the  
legal steps are taken care of already.


a) Is there a coding standard for gnustep somewhere that I missed?  
Right now I'm guessing no.

b) How do people normally handle reviews?
c) Anything else I should know before diving into the world of  
submitting patches?


Cheers (and thanks),
Dave

Bad Undefines in NSKeyedArchiver and NSKeyedArchiver?

2009-06-13 Thread Dave MacLachlan
Excuse me if this is a silly question, but I just ran into problems  
compiling these two headers (Foundation/NSKeyedArchiver.h and  
Foundation/NSArchiver.h) and the fix looks obvious, but it's also  
obvious that these files have been this way for years.


In both cases they have code that looks similar to this:

#ifndef _IN_NSKEYEDUNARCHIVER_M
#define GSIArrayvoid*
#endif
  GSIArray  _objMap; /* Decoded objects.*/
#ifndef _IN_NSKEYEDUNARCHIVER_M
#undef  GSUnarchiverArray
#endif

and

#ifndef _IN_NSUNARCHIVER_M
#define GSIArrayvoid*
#endif
  GSIArray  clsMap; /* Class crossreference map.*/
  GSIArray  objMap; /* Object crossreference map.   */
  GSIArray  ptrMap; /* Pointer crossreference map.  */
#ifndef _IN_NSUNARCHIVER_M
#undef  GSUnarchiverArray
#endif

It would seem to me that the #undef should be
#undef GSIArray in both cases, and not GSUnarchiverArray.

Am I missing something? Making this change cleaned up compilation for  
me. Otherwise I was getting errors about GSIArray being redefined.


Cheers,
Dave

Thanks ... I fixed that ... though it's clearly harmless normally,  
as the macro is defined to the same thing twice and the compiler  
doesn't even warn when a macro is being defined to the same value  
twice.  If you are encountering compiler warnings/errors then I  
guess you must be redefining GSIArray yourself, which you probably  
shouldn't be doing.  Maybe you want to look into using the new  
NSPointerArray class instead?
Obviously NSPointerArray is new, relatively untested code, but it's  
MacOS-X/Cocoa compatible.


Great thanks.

Cheers,
Dave

NSCalendar and NSLocale support

2009-06-13 Thread Dave MacLachlan

Hey there...

I'm looking to add NSCalendar and NSLocale to Foundation. I'm happy to  
implement them, but I was hoping to do it on top of ICU (http://site.icu-project.org/ 
).


Are we willing to add a dependency on ICU to gnustep?

The ICU license is GNU GPL compatible...

http://userguide.icu-project.org/icufaq#TOC-How-is-the-ICU-licensed-

Or perhaps I should be looking somewhere else?

Cheers,
Dave
