Xavi, Pau, you didn't notice but you were sending catalan bable to the list
;-) I am not able to reproduce the error neither. It looks like typeid does
not work as it should. Maybe a dangling library in testfarm. Who knows.
Xavi, i took a look to the setAttribute implementation and i see some flaws.
In order to choose the type you rely on the type of the new value. But if that
value is not the correct one for the attribute you force the assignement which
could lead to memory corruption.
The proper solution is to check first the attribute type, then check the value
is of a compatible type, raising an exception if not, then setting the
attribute.
if ( config.attributeType(index) == typeid(bool) )
{
if (not PyBool_Check(value) )
raise TypeError // Translate to C
bool boolvalue = value==Py_True;
config.setAttributeValue<bool>(index, boolvalue);
return;
}
Code is starting to be quite repetitive for plain value types. We should
consider to build a type plugin system like the one we have for configurators.
If you see that clear, just proceed. If not, no problem, proceed with
remaining todos (keys(), type errors, key error at setter...).
Next, in order to check what attributes put in code() we should check whether
they differ from the default. That's something we don't have in Dummy world so
let's add it. The idea is that Configuration should be able to ask the
(Clam/Dummy) ConfigurationProxy whether a value differs or not from the default
value and, if it does, add the "net.proc.Param = Value" string to code().
In dummy, is quite straigh forward to implement as we have a reference to the
default configuration. So building the code() part on top of that is quite
simple. Then the clam implementation we just have to obtain a default
constructed configuration of the same kind and compare. A crappy working
implementation is good for start, we can latter optimize and clean things.
