Nathan, I am also looking into this. My feeling is that it should be in the standard office installation, not an extension. Reason: If I attach a license to my document, I want that everybody is aware of that when opening the doc, not just people who have the extension. License must be containe

Look at the module "xmlsecurity". There is the implementation for the signature component. Signatures might make it into ODF 1.1. Malte. michal wrote: >> >From what perspective? For users see >> >> http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf > > I want to develop

Problem within OOo is that OOo currently only supports one security environment. As Jochen said, that should change soon. If you want to see if your implementation will (probably) work with OOo, you can use some of our test tools: xmlsecurity/tools/demo => signdemo and verifydemo There you can ch

I don't understand the "not look too safe" example: Class B will never be able to call a virtual method which is implemented in C. Not within the CTOR. And when talking about Dialogs: Moving member initialization with 'this' to the body is not easily done. You must change all Window members to Wi

Re: [dev] proposal: rtl::LeakGuard

2005-11-09 Thread Malte Timmermann
My concern here is: You do memory leak detection for *some* special classes and don't find *other* leaks. Is this really what you want to do? On Windows, you don't have to do specials builds just for finding memory leaks. You can use free MS tools UMDH or LeakDiag, or commercial tools like Bounds

We should talk about the LeakGuard when consolidating the debug macros, as Frank suggested. Please don't introduce before. I also suggest to have a macro for it, which simply expands to nothing in product builds. If we do anything in this direction, I think it shouldn't be only leak detection, b

2005-11-08 Thread Malte Timmermann
I like leak detection, but I think inheritance is not so useful here, because you can't simply add leak detection to a class 'on demand', without compiling all following modules. We already have some leak detection in tools/debug.hxx: DBG_CTOR and DBG_DTOR. Together with DBG_CHECKTHIS, you can als

Just in case someone want to fix it, here some background: - FontSizeBox show fonts in Points - Writer remembers font size in Twips - Calc/Impress remember font sizes in 100th mm So you can't make a simple fix to avoid rounding problems. Best would be if all apps used the same unit for fonts, but
