QString QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath ( )

Needs to indicate if it returns cononical or native path string for all platforms.

Finally found it! https://www.copperspice.com/docs/cs_api/class_qstandardpaths.html Man was that obscure. Had to back into what to search for by reading the source code for qdesktopservices.cpp. there is nothing in the doc when searching for storageLocation. There should at least be some kind of not...

Some of this might be due to the the hacky way I had to compile for the listing. It do appear to be way more than one spot. roland@roland-HP-EliteDesk-800-G2-SFF:~/sf_projects/redbug_scraps$ g++ -std=c++17 -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant -I /usr/lib/cs_lib/include/QtCore -I /usr/lib/cs_lib/include/Q...

Without doing any in-depth testing, these are the places I found where csobject_macro.h uses a 0 for a pointer. #ifdef QT_NO_TEXTCODEC # define CS_TR_FUNCTIONS \ static inline QString tr(const char *s, const char *c = 0, int n = -1) \ { return staticMetaObject().tr(s, c, n); } #else # define CS_TR_F...

When we select a license for one of our libraries our preferred choice is BSD. For applications we use GPL. The only time we use an alternative license is when we are required. Nothing about picking a license is based on chance or done haphazardly. I'm sure you believe that. I'm certain many other ...

Open source licenses are certainly a bit tricky. If Project A is GPL and Project B is BSD, you can certainly combine them. However, the overall project must be distributed under the terms of the GPL. As a side issue, Diamond is a CopperSpice project and since it is not designed to be an IDE we are ...

All, From Qt 4.4 forward QDesktopServices provided storageLocation() https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qdesktopservices.html#storageLocation This was supposed to make cross platform good. It certainly helped. We now had a list of standard locations we could relegate to Qt. QDesktopServices::DesktopL...

All, I really wanted to clean up the use of NULL in my gede port. I honestly think it is causing a problem under CopperSpice that Qt simply ignores. Don't know for absolute certainty because I can't examine a string . . . that would be the reason for the port in the first place. At any rate, when th...

What about BSD? Gede released under BSD. If at some point I want to merge Diamond and Gede into something of an IDE I'm not allowed to change from BSD license. The real problem with OpenSource is all of the projects seem to spin a roulette wheel in isolation when choosing a license. Makes for a larg...
