Usage of Amarok::config() |
| 2 |
------------------------- |
| 3 |
We provide this method for convenience, but it is important to use it properly. By |
| 4 |
inspection, we can see that we may produce very obscure bugs in the wrong case: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
| KConfig |
| 7 |
| *config( const QString &group ) |
| 8 |
| { |
| 9 |
| //Slightly more useful config() that allows setting the group simultaneously |
| 10 |
| KGlobal::config()->setGroup( group ); |
| 11 |
| return KGlobal::config(); |
| 12 |
| } |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Take the following example: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
| void |
| 17 |
| f1() |
| 18 |
| { |
| 19 |
| KConfig *config = Amarok::config( "Group 2" ); |
| 20 |
| config->writeEntry( "Group 2 Variable", true ); |
| 21 |
| } |
| 22 |
| |
| 23 |
| void |
| 24 |
| doStuff() |
| 25 |
| { |
| 26 |
| KConfig *config = Amarok::config( "Group 1" ); |
| 27 |
| f1(); |
| 28 |
| config->writeEntry( "Group 1 Variable", true ); |
| 29 |
| } |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
We would expect the following results: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
| [Group 1] |
| 34 |
| Group 1 Variable = true |
| 35 |
| |
| 36 |
| [Group 2] |
| 37 |
| Group 2 Variable = true |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
However because the config group is changed before writing the entry: |
| 40 |
| [Group 1] |
| 41 |
| |
| 42 |
| [Group 2] |
| 43 |
| Group 1 Variable = true |
| 44 |
| Group 2 Variable = true |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Which is clearly incorrect. And hard to see when your wondering why f1() is not |
| 47 |
working. So do not store a value of Amarok::config, make it a habit to just |
| 48 |
always call writeEntry or readEntry directly. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Correct: |
| 51 |
| amarok::config( "Group 1" )->writeEntry( "Group 1 Variable", true ); |
