[PATCH] EasyHack Bug 46610

[Daniel Bankston [danthedev]]

Hello, everyone,

I have attached my patches for EasyHack Bug 46610.

Here is a little more information on what I did and found out:

For both versions of the Region class's Union, Intersect, Exclude, and 
XOr, I changed the return types from sal_Bool to void.  Then I searched 
vcl for all callers of Union, Intersect, Exclude, or XOr.  I then 
ensured that the return type change would not affect these callers.  
Being void, the return type should not be used.

I identified that the return value of Intersect was being used in 
vcl/source/edit.cxx::673 in a conditional.  I re-factored the code so 
that the conditional did not use the return value but still called 
Intersect so as to not affect the original functionality.  However, I 
wonder if the original author misunderstood what this Intersect method 
actually does.  Maybe being mislead by the return type, the author's 
intent was to check if these Regions intersected instead of combining 
the regions (which is what I believe these methods actually do)?  This 
usage should probably be checked by someone more knowledgeable and 
experienced than me.  Maybe it is nothing, but it is probably worth 
checking to be sure.

I found no other callers using the return values of these Region methods.

I then successfully built vcl and ran soffice.


Respectfully,
Daniel Bankston
