- removed the previously added fileName type(), isDir(), isFile() methods.
- added optional bool parameter to isFile() function to explicitly
enable/disable the check for gzip files.
- fixed minor bugginess where the default usage of isFile() would result in
false positive matches.
- be slightly more stringent and use isDir() and isFile() instead of
exists() function when we actually know the expected type.
- can use 'XX.empty()' instead of 'XX.size() == 0', 'XX.size() < 1' or
'XX.size() <= 0' or for simpler coding.
It also has the same number of characters as '!XX.size()' and /might/ be
more readable
- many size checking had 'XX.size() > 0', 'XX.size() != 0', or 'XX.size() >= 1'
when a simple 'XX.size()' suffices
- Istream and Ostream now retain backslashes when reading/writing strings.
The previous implementation simply discarded them, except when used to
escape a double-quote or a newline. It is now vitally important to retain
them, eg for quoting regular expression meta-characters.
The backslash continues to be used as an escape character for double-quote
and newline, but otherwise get passed through "as-is" without any other
special meaning (ie, they are *NOT* C-style strings). This helps avoid
'backslash hell'!
For example,
string: "match real dots \.+, question mark \? or any char .*"
C-style: "match real dots \\.+, question mark \\? or any char .*"
- combined subfiles in db/IOstreams, some had more copyright info than code
- OPstreamI.H contained only private methods, moved into OPstream.C
Are these really correct?
IOstreams/Istream.H:# include "HashTable.C"
token/token.H:#define NoHashTableC
