Matt K 95eb088802 tdf#47065 Add new file open UI options and implement a new thread
Add new UI options when opening a locked or non-writeable document
to allow the user to be notified when such a document becomes editable
.  If the user selects "Notify", then that document is added to a list
of open documents to be checked by a thread every 60 seconds for
read/write access and whether lock file is available/obtainable. If
access is allowed for a document, then show UI dialog to the user
asking to Reload that document.  If Reload is selected by the user
then that document is reloaded with read/write access.  The checking
thread is spawned only once no matter how many "Notify" documents
there are.  The thread is spawned if not already running when a new
"Notify" document is opened, and it terminates when all "Notify"
documents have been closed or the application terminates.

Also update badstatics clang plugin to ignore new global variables
introduced.

Compiler plugins

Overview

This directory contains code for compiler plugins. These are used to perform additional actions during compilation (such as additional warnings) and also to perform mass code refactoring.

Currently only the Clang compiler is supported http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Clang.

Usage

Compiler plugins are enabled automatically by --enable-dbgutil if Clang headers are found or explicitly using --enable-compiler-plugins.

Functionality

There are two kinds of plugin actions:

  • compile checks - these are run during normal compilation
  • rewriters - these must be run manually and modify source files

Each source has a comment saying whether it's compile check or a rewriter and description of functionality.

Compile Checks

Used during normal compilation to perform additional checks. All warnings and errors are marked '[loplugin]' in the message.

Rewriters

Rewriters analyse and possibly modify given source files. Usage: make COMPILER_PLUGIN_TOOL=<rewriter_name> Additional optional make arguments:

  • it is possible to also pass FORCE_COMPILE_ALL=1 to make to trigger rebuild of all source files, even those that are up to date.
  • UPDATE_FILES=<scope> - limits which modified files will be actually written back with the changes
    • mainfile - only the main .cxx file will be modified (default)
    • all - all source files involved will be modified (possibly even header files from other LO modules), 3rd party header files are however never modified
    • <module> - only files in the given LO module (toplevel directory) will be modified (including headers)

Modifications will be written directly to the source files.

Some rewriter plugins are dual-mode and can also be used in a non-rewriting mode in which they emit warnings for problematic code that they would otherwise automatically rewrite. When any rewriter is enabled explicitly via make COMPILER_PLUGIN_TOOL=<rewriter_name> it works in rewriting mode (and all other plugins are disabled), but when no rewriter is explicitly enabled (i.e., just make), all dual-mode rewriters are enabled in non-rewriting mode (along with all non-rewriter plugins; and all non--dual-mode plugins are disabled). The typical process to use such a dual-mode rewriter X in rewriting mode is

make COMPILER_PLUGIN_WARNINGS_ONLY=X \
&& make COMPILER_PLUGIN_TOOL=X FORCE_COMPILE_ALL=1 UPDATE_FILES=all

which first generates a full build without failing due to warnings from plugin X in non-rewriting mode (in case of --enable-werror) and then repeats the build in rewriting mode (during which no object files are generate).
