When a guile coder uses a variable but omits use-modules, this code
will scan *all* available modules and offer the appropriate module
name.
Before:
Unbound variable: gnc-build-url
After:
Unbound variable: gnc-build-url. Did you forget (use-module (sw_gnc_html))?
If guile calls a C function which expects gnc_numeric but sends a
non-number, it will create a gnc_numeric_error object. This will allow
error gnc_numeric to be handled elsewhere.
Also the overflow gnc_numeric was incorrectly created.
locale-sensitive string-sorting functions -- currently mirrors guile's
(ice-9 i18n) functions -- may be modified to call C code if guile code
is not reliable.
Compiling our guile scripts will run loaded libraries. One of the libraries to
load is the engine library which expects to find the enabled backends (xml and or dbi).
If those aren't built yet, this will result in error messages printed in the build output.
test arguments, deprecated as well as new mode arguments
test creating a session with a new xml file using __init__()
and begin(). Test raising exception when opening nonexistent
file without respective mode setting.
default_arguments_decorator until now only allows positional
argument defaults. This adds keyword defaults. The keywords
can be mapped to the positional arguments by optional argument
kargs_pos so interactions between keyword and positional arg
defaults can raise a TypeError. Some more information in
the docstring is included. In addition the docstring of
the wrapped function will be modified to contain information
about the defaults.
allow keyword arguments for function_class methods
and functions. process_dict_convert_to_instance() is added to
mimic the behavior of the process_list_convert_to_instance()
Derived methods in gnucash_core.py like raise_backend_errors_after_call
get modified to accept being called with keyword args.
Also adds some docstrings.
the deprecation submodule will house content related to deprecation.
That is general convenience function and functions related to specific
deprecation issues. The latter starts with decorator functions to bridge
the change in qof_session_begin argument change to SessionOpenMode.
subtle bug here-- used string-hash to convert guid-string to a number
which is faster to use as hash key. but string-hash does not guarantee
that there are no hash collisions. it is best to use guid string
instead which is guaranteed to uniquely define a split.
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.
