A bug lurked into our uiuc code.
There are two changes:
[1] Comment out the chunk of code as shown (compare w/ the old)
[2] Put back in the function call, and in that code change AlphaTail to Alpha.
Use getDisplayName instead of duplicated code: gives a better
decision on whether to display the index.
Replace unnecessary node lookups by name with direct access: tidier
and more efficient. E.g. "getValueTypeString
(node->getNode(name.c_str()))" -> "getValueTypeString (child)".
When the scroll bar slider is dragged, the list scrolls only far
enough to see all items; only the arrow buttons can scroll it so far
that the last item goes to the top of the view.
Fix scroll bar proportional size: was wrong when the list was only
a little longer than the visible area.
Minor fixes such as "delete files[i];" -> "delete[] files[i];"
(where the item being deleted is an array of characters) and removal of
global variables.
Smooth scrolling when dragging the slider: one item at a time,
rather than one tenth of the list at a time.
Fix a bug that would have occurred if instantiated with arrows=2.
Sort properties primarily by name and then by numerical index
order, rather than a simple ASCII string order. E.g. "js[1]", "js[2]",
"js[10]" rather than "js[1]", "js[10]", "js[2]".
Avoid crashing if the selected property path does not exist;
display an empty list instead. This cannot happen when the property
picker is working properly, but did happen due to missing indices prior
to this patch, and could happen if the user is allowed to type a
pathname, as in the http and telnet interfaces.
Fix truncation of strings to PUSTRING_MAX: was wrong when string
length was exactly 80.
Fix: move the scroll bar to the top each time a new list is
displayed. It was left at its previous position, while the top of the
new list was displayed, not corresponding to the slider.
Use getDisplayName instead of duplicated code: gives a better
decision on whether to display the index, and avoids invalid property
paths being generated which would previously crash find_props().
Replace unnecessary node lookups by name with direct access: tidier
and more efficient. E.g. "getValueTypeString
(node->getNode(name.c_str()))" -> "getValueTypeString (child)".
speedups to uiuc_menu.cpp.
(Note these were originally submitted before the cutoff date for new
features, but something was corrupted in the transfer so I granted a bit
of leeway in the schedule.)
