There is no added value in storing the book and account together
The book is easily retrieved from the account (as was
illustrated in the gnc_account_imap_new function).
I looked through the commit history to understand why this struct
was originally created and a long time ago it also had
a reference to a kvp frame.
- Show proper amount in dialog when applying or editing an existing transaction as payment
- Be more careful not to waste the existing payment split
- If the user changed the payment amount while starting from an existing transaction
unreconcile the changed payment split
- Avoid needlessly changing transaction currency (only do so if the user chose
a new transfer account and the old currency is neither the new transfer account's
currency nor the post account's currency)
gnc_commodity_compare is used for sorting and so needs to have a less-than
return value. The only place it's used presents nothing to the UI; a GncGUID
ordering is fast and stable.
GnuCash allows only one commodity per book for any namespace/mnemonic pair, so
the exhaustive string comparisons are superflous. While the current engine
design allows only one instance of any object, meaning that a pointer comparison
is sufficient to determine equality, that may not be true in the future, but the
GncGUID is guaranteed to sufficiently identify a single commodity. Note that
gnc_commodity_equiv is used to enforce that single-commodity rule and so cannot
use GncGUID comparison.

/usr/include/boost/bind.hpp:36:1: note: ‘#pragma message:
The practice of declaring the Bind placeholders (_1, _2, ...) in the
global namespace is deprecated.
Please use <boost/bind/bind.hpp> + using namespace boost::placeholders,
or define BOOST_BIND_GLOBAL_PLACEHOLDERS to retain the current behavior.’
The issue was fixed in boost 1.76, but, e.g ubuntu 22.04 has boost 1.74
The idea behind this is to not assume the project is always built
as "gnucash" exactly.
One example where it can be useful to use a different project name
would be when building multiple development versions of the project
on the same system and don't want these different versions share
the same settings in GSettings or the same stored passwords.
When higher and lower limits are zero, when used for a a suspense
account, change the icon to 'dialog-warning'. This type of use is to
indicate that a non zero balance exists.
Root cause is using boost::locale::translate because it ignores
the LANGUAGES environment variable and doesn't support different
values for LC_MESSAGES, LC_DATE, LC_MONETARY, and LC_NUMERIC.
That makes it impossible to configure a user environment that
presents translated strings in a different locale from the one
applied to formatting dates and numbers.
To correct this replace all use of boost::locale::translate
with GNU gettext.
Don't create a new book in the new-user dialog unless the user says to.
Don't automatically create a new book when retrieving default commodities
because the retrieve might be requested in a context like the Preferences
dialog when there is no book.
Some report tests relied on requesting the default commodity creating
the book, so in those tests ensure that the book is created first.
Control character check doesn't need normalization, the control character
codepoints aren't graphic and so can't be composed nor have compatible
equivalents.
