Tomaž Vajngerl bfc9cfdecf Remove the lp_solve solver, which CoinMP makes redundant
The Lpsolve solver and the CoinMP solver are both used for the same
thing: a linear model, with optional integer variables by branch
and bound. CoinMP (CLP plus CBC) is the more capable and better
maintained of the two, so the lp_solve one adds a second bundled
dependency and a parallel copy of the solver code for no capability
the other lacks.

Remove the LpsolveSolver component, the bundled lp_solve external
(and its colamd dependency, which only lp_solve used), and all the
build, configure, packaging and license references to them.

A document may still name com.sun.star.comp.Calc.LpsolveSolver as
its engine. SolverSettings now reads that name as the CoinMP
solver, which solves the same model, so such documents keep
working.

The Calc solver test that exercised the engine now uses CoinMP. Its
knapsack model has a single optimal total value of 6987, which fills
the weight capacity of 1000 exactly and which CoinMP finds. The
lp_solve run had returned a suboptimal 6981, so the test now expects
the true optimum.

The build setup changes only take effect after re-running autogen.

Spreadsheet Application Code

You can dump some information in a dbgutil build:

Shortcuts

CTRL+SHIFT+F12

Dumps the column width of the first 20 columns.

CTRL+SHIFT+F11

Dumps the graphic objects and their position and size in pixel.

CTRL+SHIFT+F6

Dumps the SfxItemSet representing the cell properties' of the current selection as a xml file. The file will be named dump.xml

The Cache Format

ScDocument::StoreTabToCache allows storing the content (not the formatting) of a table to a binary cache format.

The format is column orientated which allows quick serialization of the table.

  • Header:

    • Number of Columns: 64 bit unsigned integer
  • Column:

    • Column Index: 64 bit unsigned integer
    • Column Size: 64 bit unsigned integer
    • For each cell type block a new ColumnBlock
  • ColumnBlock:

    • Start Row: 64 bit unsigned integer
    • Block Size: 64 bit unsigned integer
    • Type: 8 bit unsigned integer
      • 0 : empty
      • 1 : numeric
        • for each cell: 64 bit IEEE 754 double precision value
      • 2 : string
        • for each cell: 32 bit signed string length followed by string length bytes of the string (UTF-8)
      • 3 : formula
        • for each cell: 32 bit signed string length followed by the formula in R1C1 notation as a string

Functions Supporting Wildcards or Regular Expressions

As this comes up every now and then, and rather should be documented in an extra list of the Help system, functions that support Wildcards or Regular Expressions and depend on the setting under Tools -> Options -> Calc -> Calculate are those that in ODF OpenFormula (ODFF) are defined to depend on the HOST-USE-REGULAR-EXPRESSIONS or HOST-USE-WILDCARDS properties, see ODF v1.3 part4 3.4 Host-Defined Behaviors https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/os/part4-formula/OpenDocument-v1.3-os-part4-formula.html#__RefHeading__1017868_715980110
