Description Luboš Luňák 2012-12-06 17:25:04 UTC
The codebase contains code such as:

rtl::OUString aFileName = rtl::OUStringBuffer().append("charts/chart").append(nCount).append(".xml").makeStringAndClear();

or

rtl::OUStringBuffer aName(msSeed);
aName.append(++mnImportedGraphicsCount);
aName.append(": ");
aName.append(rFixed);
pFrmFmt->SetName(aName.makeStringAndClear());

These can be more easily written (and later read) as:

OUString aFileName = "charts/chart" + OUString::valueOf(nCount) + ".xml";

or

pFrmFmt->SetName(OUString::valueOf(++mnImportedGraphicsCount) + ": " + rFixed);


All these chained calls to OStringBuffer::append() and OUStringBuffer::append() can be simply replaced by usage of operator+ as written in the examples above.
Comment 1 Luboš Luňák 2012-12-06 17:29:49 UTC
Note that the removal of "rtl::" is not directly related to this EasyHack, but as writing that is not necessary anymore, it can be removed in the process in order to further make the code cleaner.
Comment 2 Stephan Bergmann 2012-12-07 09:32:26 UTC
(In reply to comment #0)

In

> rtl::OUStringBuffer aName(msSeed);
> aName.append(++mnImportedGraphicsCount);
> aName.append(": ");
> aName.append(rFixed);
> pFrmFmt->SetName(aName.makeStringAndClear());

to

> pFrmFmt->SetName(OUString::valueOf(++mnImportedGraphicsCount) + ": " +
> rFixed);

note that an initial "msSeed +" is missing from the converted, unless msSeed is an integer, in which case it would have preset the capacity of the OUStringBuffer to something other than the default 16.
Comment 3 Christos Strubulis 2012-12-12 11:40:31 UTC
Hi,

At first, I would like to start replacing the first one, i.e.,

rtl::OUString aFileName = rtl::OUStringBuffer().append("charts/chart").append(nCount).append(".xml").makeStringAndClear();

Should I start?
Comment 4 Luboš Luňák 2012-12-12 14:14:38 UTC
Sure, just go ahead.

Comment 6 Christos Strubulis 2012-12-13 18:49:19 UTC
Hi,
I attach an indicative proposed patch.

It seems that in the code there is some usage of sal_Unicode and appendAscii. 

In the first case, the "+" operator can't be used (or it can be used and it's only me with an error?). 
In the second case,  I changed only one file (RDFaExportHelper.cxx) assuming that instead of appendAscii, append can be used. 

I am not sure when append (and not appendAscii) should be used, but I saw a recent commit with that replacement: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/854/2/basctl/source/basicide/bastype2.cxx

If the patch is right I can send an email to the list.
Comment 7 Stephan Bergmann 2012-12-13 21:06:13 UTC
ActivityChooserModel.java:  The changes discussed here only work in C++ code, not in Java code.

bastype3.cxx:  You can simplify this even further by dropping the useless OUStringBuffer.  Either make aName an OUString (and drop the makeSkingAndClear call from the return statement), or just build the string directly in the return statement.

bastype.cxx, javatype.cxx:  Same as above.

dbfld.cxx:  Some of the (performance) benefits are lost when you split the concatenation into multiple operator+= (instead of operator+) expressions.  (Also, please take care to not indent with tabs.  Tab widths are not universal, which makes the code easily look oddly indented.  Your editor might be able to help you with avoiding tabs.)

docexport.cxx and ww8graf.cxx look great already.

RDFaExportHelper.cxx:  s_prefix is defined as static const char s_prefix[] = "_:b" at the top of that file, but only used here.  I would thus remove the definition of s_prefix and directly use the "_:b" string literal here -- which also makes it obvious that it is OK to drop the call of appendAscii, which in general is only OK if the argument to appendAscii was a string literal, not an arbitrary expression of pointer type.  (Also see the tabs-vs.-spaces note above.)

Second proposed patch

Hi,
ok thanks for the detailed review and help.
Is it better now? What is your opinion?

(Ok, but I am almost sure you know that concatenation of strings can be made like
this in java).
Comment 9 Luboš Luňák 2012-12-18 16:27:21 UTC
ww8graf.cxx: As pointed out by comment #2, the argument to OUStringBuffer should  not be dropped, unless it is the default size (so the example given by me in the initial description was indeed wrong in this case, I overlooked the msSeed). As that was just a minor detail, I'll fix that and push your patch, thanks.

Comment 30 Gehad ElRobey 2013-04-12 14:50:12 UTC
Hi,

I replaced some of the apped() functions by the + operator but how to make sure that i am doing it right , In other words how to test the code.

sorry i am new here , But I ll do my best.

Running 'make check' should run tests, although that's far from complete testing. But a review before the change is pushed should catch problems.

Comment 75 Xisco Faulí 2017-09-27 08:05:34 UTC
Dear Muhammet Kara,
This bug has been in RESOLVED FIXED status for more than 6 months.
Do you think it would make more sense to create a follow-up bug instead ? From my point of view, it would be much clearer for newcomers to copy the info from the description, the comment 74 in the new bug and mention a couple of commits. Anyway, up to you...
Regards

Thanks for your suggestion! I was also thinking the same way, but wasn't sure about it. :)
