Link-time optimization in GCC, part 3 – LibreOffice
- anon4 12y agoFor some reason all the charts and graphs fail to load. I think it's because blogger insists on loading over http, but the google docs in question are linked over https.
- jacquesm 12y agoI think it is a permission issue. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_kalk9Bsgl5Pj-EiGOsWmiuedfx8NonNJzAKkLUNKFg/gviz/chartiframe?oid=1026424494 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_kalk9Bsgl5Pj-EiGOsW... Is one of the documents and that simply won't load for me. I think the docs are still set to not be publicly readable.
- rurban 12y agoDidn't know about the GCC amd64 array alignment issues >16bytes and >32bytes. Horrible for my method dispatch, not just C++ vtables (fixed with gcc-5.0). Cannot this be overturned with the aligned or packed attribute? (if not on the stack as this was broken for aligned for while)
- jacquesm 12y agoThat's pretty easy to test, simply compile an array of pointers to functions in the BSS and then print the sizeof (or use nm), then do it again in packed mode.
- PopsiclePete 12y agoLibreOffice? Is this still....a thing? Is the OSS community still trying to beat MS at this meaningless game? What's wrong with Google Docs? First thing I do in Ubuntu is uninstall this cruft. A fat client office suite, how quaint and 1997-like.
- pcwalton 12y agoA native app that opens .doc/.xls/.ppt files is a useful thing for a large number of people.
- jmhain 12y agoCan LibreOffice edit MS Office files non-destructively now? I'm impressed with the improvements lately, but I'm still too scared edit shared .docx files at work based on bad experiences with OpenOffice in the past.
- _delirium 12y agoI wrote a paper recently with some colleagues who use MS Word (common in some fields), mailing around .docx files in the usual manner, and it seemed to work ok. Obviously not a detailed test, but we exercised a reasonable number of features without breakage: a two-column document with stylesheet, a number of figures, several equations, and a reference section with auto-updated numerical references.
- taeric 12y agoMore pertinently, it does work better than using google docs. Assuming, of course, you can't get folks to agree to lose features and just move completely to google docs.
- _delirium 12y agoYeah, in my experience Google Docs is mainly useful if you treat it as an editor for lightly formatted (RTF-style) documents, not as a Word-compatible editor. If I really needed Word-on-the-cloud I'd probably use Microsoft's "Word Online", which is a lot more compatible than Google Docs (and also free).
- davidgerard 12y agoPretty much. Preserving stuff LO doesn't understand, for roundtripping, is also a thing as of the last couple of years (the Interop GrabBag). If you have a failure and a reproducible test case, file a bug - there's significant improvements in OOXML support every release, and LO really does dive on these bugs and kill them.
