The underlying problem was that the vendor object remained in infant state
That confused the backend code so it used an sql INSERT statement instead
of an UPDATE statement to write back the changes. As the object already
existed in the db this would fail.
The fix is to ensure the object doesn't remain in infant state during
sql loading. See the bug report for a more detailed explanation.
The function qof_book_use_split_action_for_num_field gets called quite a
lot in each register display refresh (due to sorting all splits from
Split.x's xaccSplitOrder function), but it always used to use a KVP
lookup, which is rather expensive compared to accessing a gboolean member
variable.
To get rid of this cost, I had to remove the KVP lookup in this
simple-looking function. The pattern is this: A gboolean cache variable is
introduced, along with an isvalid flag. The lookup makes the expensive
KVP lookup once, then caches the value. The GObject property mechanism
offers a callback for when the setter was called, which is used to mark
the cached value as invalid. A parallel setter method (here:
qof_book_set_option) also just marks the cache as invalid. This covers
all setters, and the getters will use the cached value except for their
first invocation.
The NUM_FIELD_SOURCE feature was introduced in 2012 by the very large
commit 7cdd7372 and apparently its costs never were a problem
until the KVP lookup became more costly due to the std::vector
construction and destruction.
Turns out that the on-the-fly conversion from const char* (the KVP_OPTION_PATH
constants) to std::string with their immediate deletion afterwards is
a quite costly operation. Avoiding this is surprisingly easy: Just keep
local std::string objects at hand, and they don't have to be created
and deleted anymore.
The more optimized solution might be to turn the std::vector<std::string>
into a std::vector<GQuark>, but this commit at least improves the picture for now.
An extra XaccTransBeginEdit, never committed, for transactions that
the backend tried to load when they were already there. That made
the register think that something else had it open.
Instead of reporting an error and declining to load the file (XML)
or failing to enter a value (SQL) when a bad date is found in the
database, use a 0 time stamp (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). Adds a warning
in SQL backends; there was one already in XML.
1. Don't even check for price/exchange rate on template transactions,
there's no point.
2. Extract function get_transaction_currency:
a. Check all split commodities are valid, abort transaction creation if
not.
b. If the template transaction's currency isn't used by any of the
splits set the new transaction's currency to the first-found currency if
there is one, otherwise to the first-found commodity.
3. Fix a minor typo in a comment.
Limit the range of the random value to 1..1000 to prevent overflows,
particularly in number-of-periods or number-of-years variables.
While we're at it, g_random_int and g_random_int_range return ints so
piping the result through gnc_double_to_numeric() doesn't make much
sense. That's removed, we just construct a gnc_numeric.
Provide a backup recovery function that instead of dropping primaries
and restoring backups merges the primaries and backups. This should
handle a worst-case safe-save failure where the backup tables don't
have a complete set of rows for some reason.
We don't use floats in GnuCash, we use doubles (and those as little as
possible), but dbd-sqlite3 is broken in that it stores only floats.
Simply casting floats to doubles introduces bogus additional digits
that can cause round-trip tests to fail. Instead convert floats to
doubles by multiplying by 10E6, rounding, then dividing by 10E6.
Removes a public function, GncDbiSqlConnection::table_manage_backup that
should have been private in the first place.
Better encapsulates table renames and drops with private functions and
handles cases where there exist some primary tables and some backup tables.
SQLite backend.
Release Note: This bug caused data loss if you saved your SQLite3
database to a different file or database.
The problem is that in SQLite3 (though not in MySQL or PgSQL) the
subquery ((SELECT DISTINCT guid FROM transactions)) (note the double
parentheses) returns only the first guid in the subquery's results.
Some transactions are loaded by special queries and those queries are
also used to retrieve the transaction's slots so they weren't affected.
First change is to ensure gncEntry rounding is consistent. Internally
calculated values in the entry are never rounded. Consumers of
gncEntry's calculated values can request them either rounded or not.
Next use a pragmatical approach for calculating values on invoices based on
the entry values: do the rounding such that we never
create an unbalanced transaction while posting
That means
- round each entry's net value before summing them in net total
- accumulate all tax totals on invoice level per tax account before rounding
and round before before summing them in a global tax total
Hopefully this will catch a few more rounding issues in this area.
A complete solution can only offered if we allow users to manually correct
tax entries. This requires changes to user interface and data format
so that's not going to happen in gnucash 3.x.
strptime/strftime supports various modifiers to their parameters.
'E' and 'O': alternate locale-specific formats
(used in default format for Persian, Oriya, Azerbaijani)
'-': padding
(used in default format for Czech)
GnuCash passes dates as integer y/m/d without using locale-specific
formats, so we need to strip out 'E' and 'O' from the format when
scanning dates or determining separators in gnc-date.
None of '-', 'E', or 'O' are supported by boost (and '-' causes
errors), so strip them out from formatters in gnc-datetime as well.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795247.
This will probably need more refinement because the multiplications
are still missing rounding methods, but the changes in this commit
will already allow guile code to correctly create entries.
Clearer syntax helped find flawed test - while set-tm:mday directly
accepts 1-31, set-tm:mon accepts 0-11 to represent 1-12, therefore
must minus 1. set-tm:year accepts 92 to represent 1992, therefore must
minus 1900.
We want to sanitize render-options-changed, therefore it must return
an html-object. Unfortunately this is not accessible to
app-utils/options.scm. If we move this function to
report-system/html-utilities.scm, it can access html-objects.
Also rename it to gnc:html-render-options-changed
The swig 3.0 generated python wrappers trigger a warning converted into an error issued
by gcc 8.0 for using strncpy as follows:
strncpy(buff, "swig_ptr: ", 10);
The reason is this call will truncate the trailing null byte from the string.
This appears to have been fixed in swig master already but that's not released yet
so let disable the warning when compiling the swig wrappers until it is.
This commit contains another round of cleanups in the
timespec to time64 conversion. There were a number of
false assumptions that time64 = 0 would be a bad date
in the xml parser. This commit corrects enough of them to
eliminate the bug. Further cleanup is probably advised but
can be done at a later stage.
Also Bug 791825 - Accounting Period dates off by 1.
The DST start/end dates were reversed *and* the DST offset had the wrong
sign in Windows, resulting in the effective timezone always being one to
the west off (i.e. PDT was -9 and PST was -8).
