Testing notes: Based on the averages of 3 runs, the net
user CPU to save the XML file I use is:
10.2 seconds without this change
7.6 seconds with this change
In my environment the first call to the format routine
in question, the call that sets the cache value, is at
the end of the XML load.
The refactoring provides roughly 10% reduction in user CPU
use for XML file load by moving an expensive function
to within an if-clause where the result is used. The diff looks
like a full re-write but only the if statements, indenting,
and commentary changed.
This gives a significant speed-up when selecting multiple lines for deletion.
Otherwise the full GUI refresh would be run for each single selected
line, which sucks if the accounts and register windows contain a lot
of txns. Better do that once after we are finished with all line deletions.
This value is queried on each comparison of split or txn sort function,
which means it is called quite a lot. Avoiding the KVP lookup of this
property gains a lot in terms of CPU cycles.
Because of https://sourceforge.net/p/libdbi-drivers/bugs/24.
This issue causes trouble in save_may_clobber_data() as well, so
work around it by using a SQL query instead of dbi_conn_get_table_list.
Until now GNC_CONFIG_HOME was more or less hard-coded.
Now it can be set via environment variable GNC_CONFIG_HOME.
In addition it will automatically be created to avoid potential
user confusion.
when moving entry between accounts
When using the cut transaction option the 'associated file' value was
not being pasted to the new transaction. Added scheme code to get this
value and save it to new transaction when using 'cut/copy' and then
'paste' operations. When using the duplicate option, a dialogue allows
you to keep the copied association or not. It does not get copied for
autocomplete.
This involves renaming 3 functions:
gnc_uri_get_protocol -> gnc_uri_get_scheme
gnc_uri_is_known_protocol -> gnc_uri_is_known_scheme
gnc_uri_is_file_protocol -> gnc_uri_is_file_scheme
The *_protocol variants are marked as deprecated.
Additionally a number of local variables have been renamed from
protocol to scheme to support this change.
We're about to announce our own set of deprecated functions in libgnucash.
That would be pretty pointless if we also would silence all deprecation warnings
at the same time...
- gnc_uri_get_components will now return NULL as protocol if the input is a normal
file system path instead of a uri (it used to return 'file')
- gnc_uri_get_protocol will now return NULL if the input is a normal
file system path instead of a uri (it used to return 'file')
- gnc_uri_is_file_protocol now returns FALSE if protocol is NULL (it used to return TRUE)
- gnc_uri_is_file_uri now returns FALSE if input is a normal file
system path instead of a uri (it used to return TRUE)
- a new function gnc_uri_targets_local_fs will return TRUE only if its input
is either a file uri or a normal file system path. This function is now mostly
used instead of gnc_uri_is_file_uri in the current code base
- a new function gnc_uri_is_uri is added to check whether its input
is a valid uri (has protocol, path and hostname for non-file uris)
