Price Database dropping user:price-editor entries.
A wider problem: QofInstance was unmarking itself dirty as long as the
backend raised an error and unconditionally marking itself non-infant.
This matters because the SQL backend depends on infant status to decide
whether to do an insert or update query; either will fail if the infant
status is wrong.
The price editor dialog clones a price having only its commodity set and
GncSqlPriceBackend declines to save if the currency isn't set. Since the
instance marked itself non-infant even though it wasn't saved subsequent
commits tried to use an update query and since the price wasn't in the
table that inevitably failed.
Requiring that QofBackend::commit should doing the marking-clean
required implementing it in the backends where it wasn't already.
For clarity. In so doing found the backend behavior a bit inconsistent
so it's modified to do what the enum values indicate.
In the course of changing the various calls I found some implementation
errors in the back end and corrected them.
It's more descriptive and less likely to be confused with the book:id value
in XML files that is the book's GUID.
Also changed the QofSessionImpl::begin new_uri parameter from std::string to
const char*. There's no point in allocating a string just to call
new_uri.c_str() all over the place.
The template avoids the need to cast to and from void*, and adds flexibility to
the targeted function's signature.
test-stuff.h defines a macro, "failure" which is used as an identifier
in the standard IO library, so I moved any inclusion of test-stuff.h to
the last include position so that "failure" wouldn't be defined before
the IO library was included.
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)
This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.
