... This includes failure paths in the initialization if import. Those
resources would have been reclaimed before program exit, but not as soon as
they should have been.
... This also includes certain leaks that would happen every time a file is
successfully imported or exported. We never used avformat_free_context or
av_dict_free as we should have!
... There were also AVPacket objects repeatedly reinitialized without proper
cleanups in between. That might have leaked memory too.
I could see this on windows:
Import a file such as .aiff format, while "Files of type:"
reads "FFmpeg-compatible files".
Leave Audacity running.
Attempt to delete the file in Windows Exploerer.
Get a message from Windows that the file is in use by Audacity and cannot be
deleted.
... for functions in final classes.
override is like const -- it's not necessary, but it helps the compiler to
catch mistakes.
There may be some overriding functions not explicitly declared virtual and I did
not identify such cases, in which I might also add override.
... Should have no effect on generated code, except perhaps some slight faster
virtual function calls. Mostly useful as documentation of design intent.
Tried to mark every one of our classes that inherits from another, or is a
base for others, or has abstract virtual functions, and a few others besides.
Correct string formatting for:
2/15 %d + enum => %d + int
3/15 %lld + int64_t => %lld + long long
4/15 %d + int64_t => %lld + long long
5/15 %d + double => %f + double
6/15 %d + int32_t => %d + int
7/15 %d + intptr_t => %p + void*
8/15 gint, guint
9/15 %d + long => %ld + long
10/15 %n + int => %d + int
11/15 %x + int => %x + unsigned int
12/15 %f + int => %d + int
13/15 %S + wxChar* => %s + wxChar*
14/15 %d + size_t => %d + int
15/15 %d + size_t => %lld + long long
"The functions wxString::Format, wxString::Printf (and others indirectly) have become stricter about parameter types that don't match (format specifier vs. function parameters). So the bugs (that were already present in audacity before) become visible in wx3.0 as error message dialogs. I've checked all occurrences of Printf, wxPrintf, PrintfV, Format, FormatV, wxLogDebug and wxLogError systematically and made the type match."
Note (9/15): In TrackPanel.cpp, ExportMP2.cpp and CompareAudioCommand.cpp this patch supersedes related change done in r13466 because the new solution requires fewer casts and therefore simplifies the code.
Note: Many .po files are affected, and we need to be very careful about this. Incorrect "%d" and similar in translation files may lead to crashes in those languages (only). This is something we should actually have been more careful about in the past. We need to write a script to check that the "%d" and similar format specifiers match between English and translation.
We can't go to 3.0.1 yet as there are still build issues on
Linux and OSX. You can get Windows to build, but there's
still some display issues.
These changes should work with wxWidgets 2.8.12 as well, so
we can take our time to get things working properly before
switching over.
