Any operation that can overflow will throw an underflow if it's a
negative number. The C interface needs to catch both to prevent
unhandled exception crashes,
There seems to be more than one problem that causes the exception handler ("catch") to
get lost on Windows:
* Throwing from a constructor called from a member function of another object of the same
class. That's fixed here for the GncNumeric string constructor, but there's at least one other
instance I'm still working on in GncNumeric::to_decimal.
* Hidden memory allocation in a stack-allocated object like std::string, std::istringstream,
or boost::smatch: The throw causes the object to go out of scope which calls its destructor
and in that case the catch reference is either lost or never compiled in.
This change ifdefs out the creation of detailed exception messages on Windows to avoid
the destruction of the std::istringstream and its attached std::string, creates a series of
helper functions to ensure that the boost::smatch is in a non-throwing scope, and puts the
computed values directly into the member variables instead of delegating the construction
to a temporary and then copying out the values. The last item is more correct anyway, as
C++ constructor delegation is supposed to happen in the member initialization part rather
than the function body.
With these changes the exceptions from the GncNumeric string constructor are handled
correctly.
This will avoid a ninja-build from picking up a config.h generated by the autotools build
(in the root build directory). Picking up the wrong config.h may lead to all kinds of
subtle issues if the autotools run was done with different options than the cmake run.
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.
