Hi list, I'm a little disappointed because I have hoped to find in version 2 a reinforcement (unification) of the semantics of operations against the reported capabilities (cf OGRLayer.TestCapability)
For exemple, if I take the function OGRLayer.SetFeature (OGRFeature * poFeature) which is documented as “Rewrite an existing feature” I found drivers implementing it with “update/where” which do nothing if feature does not exist (conforming implementation), and other drivers implementing it with “delete/insert” which always insert the feature (not conforming implementation) I think that adopting the same semantic will allow to automate generic autotests on the basis of reported capabilities (and simplify autotest). This will also simplify applications that want to use GDAL/OGR in a generic way In addition, these generic autotests could allow developers to validate the compatibility of their new driver against the semantics of GDAL/OGR and can give a kind of “compatibility label”. May be this suggestion becomes a new RFC (if someone else agree with me) Nicolas De : gdal-dev-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:gdal-dev-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] De la part de Frank Warmerdam Envoyé : vendredi 16 mai 2014 04:03 À : Even Rouault Cc : gdal dev Objet : Re: [gdal-dev] Call for discussion on RFC 46: GDAL/OGR unification Even, I have (finally) looked over the RFC and I'm super pleased. I couldn't find anything I wanted to argue against, and it all looks excellent to me though I could imagine some some bumps in real world use. Feel free to call for a motion when you are ready.
