... and they abort at runtime with anything that's not a plain type, most notably C++ strings. And some of the arguments are rather weak as well, I can get you easy to use and read, better to translate and similarly space efficient without var-args. Wanna bet :) ? Also, string usage in LO is rather cumbersome as it is and in general it'd be probably a good trade-off to waste a couple of bytes on each string operation that doesn't need a whole line of code to express a trivial operation. -- Lubos Lunak [email protected] _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
