KCalc's Future
Hi Bernd, You are listed in kdeutils/AUTHORS as the maintainer for KCalc. Speaking for the KDE 4 Release Team.. I am wondering what your plans are for KCalc in KDE4. There has been a lot of mail going on in kde-core-devel discussing some critical issues with KCalc and we haven't heard from you. In the meantime, David Johnson has volunteered to give it some love. But we need a KCalc maintainer. So, how should we proceed with KCalc and the KDE4.0 release?

Thanks for the fast response Bernd. David, KCalc is all yours :) Please keep me informed as to the GMP issue. -Allen -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: RE: KCalc's Future Date: Saturday 08 December 2007 From: Bernd J Wuebben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 'Allen Winter' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Allen, I wrote KCalc during a period of perhaps 2 weeks in the spring of 1997 shortly after we founded KDE. While I have contributed many more applications to KDE I have not worked specifically on KCalc since then. Over the years various kind individuals have looked after KCalc, making sure it would compile with newer versions of KDE. Unfortunately, I personally have no time nor am in a position (Development environment etc) to look after KCalc. If David Johnson is currently helping KCalc to grow with KDE then David Johnson is fully entitled to decide what to do with KCalc.

The attached patch fixes the problem (better: avoids the problem).
After this 3+3 is 6 again on my system. It was ever, but displaying did
not work correct.

As I said in the previous discussion this works fine here. It only
seems to be an issue for people on 64 bit machines, and I suspect not
even all of those. If people would get together info about things like
which version of gmp they're using, which compiler etc. then maybe we
could make some progress on this issue.

fine.
Now we need someone from gmp as the problem lies here:
_knumfloat::_knumfloat(QString const & num)
{
mpf_init(_mpf);
mpf_set_str(_mpf, num.toAscii(), 10);
}
I already tried to pass "10,0" without success. Don't know if "nan" and
"inf" is correctly interpreted.

Does gmp create a deep copy of the char*? If not that might be the
reason, toAscii() returns a QByteArray and that will be implicitly
converted to char*. However that returns the QByteArray internal buffer
and thus its gone after the call to mpf_set_str. So either gmp needs to
do a deep copy in set_str or you need to keep the QByteArray around
until its not needed anymore.

I hope you're wrong - I would consider this as a design bug in gmp
otherwise :)
