ORowSetValue is used to store in-memory a "database value", as a
tagged union (a struct of an union (m_aValue) and a int field
(m_eTypeKind) whose value says which member of the union to use), plus
some other information. Some types are stored directly in the union,
but others are allocated dynamically and a pointer to it is stored in
m_aValue.m_pValue. Of these types, some are stored as (a pointer to) a
::com::sun::star::uno::Any.
It is also used for the "list content" entries of a listbox, with type
tag "VARCHAR" (strings).
Now, 0003-fdo-46163-convert-bound-values-to-bound-column-s-typ.patch
introduces a conversion from these strings to the datatype of the
underlying column, e.g. INTEGER (32bit integer), by calling
"setTypeKind(INTEGER)". In this case, setTypeKind in turn calls
geInt32(), which calls ::rtl::OUString::toInt32, i.e. parses the
string as a number in base 10.
Now, if the column is of type "CLOB" instead? setTypeKind(CLOB) is
called, which used to call getAny():
::com::sun::star::uno::Any getAny() const { return*(::com::sun::star::uno::Any*)m_aValue.m_pValue; }
But in this case, m_aValue.m_pValue contains an OUString, not an Any,
so this leads to a crash or garbage data.
This patch changes it to calling makeAny() instead of getAny(), which
will cleanly do:
Any rValue
OSL_ENSURE(m_aValue.m_pString,"Value is null!");
rValue <<= (::rtl::OUString)m_aValue.m_pString;
return rValue;
That is, sticking the OUString in an Any, which setTypeKind will then
assign (via operator=(const Any&)) to a newly allocated Any and stick
the pointer to that in m_pValue.

Great, thanks.

Yes, good point. I will in future.
