[bme-develop] Major update + some errors

[Sir M. <obe...@ho...>]

Hey guys,

I'm doing a major update of the contact related code. We now have a Contact 
class that represents contacts of course... a User class that represents the 
user(and reimplements some of the contact methods to deliver user specific 
behaviour, like for the userpic functions)...I also made a Status class to 
represent msnstatusses(stati?)...and a ContactItem class that draws the 
contacts in the ContactListView. I've almost got this code working...but 
there seems to be smth wrong with the Status archiving code...maybe some of 
you can help, this is the BArchivable related code:

Status::Status(BMessage* archive)
{
	archive->FindString("Status::statusName",&statusName);
	archive->FindString("Status::statusAbbreviation",&statusAbbreviation);

	BMessage msg;
	if (archive->FindMessage("Status::statusIcon",&msg) == B_OK)
	{
		BArchivable* obj = instantiate_object(&msg);
		statusIcon = dynamic_cast<BBitmap*>(obj);
	}
}

BArchivable* Status::Instantiate(BMessage *archive)
{
	if (validate_instantiation(archive, "Status"))
      return new Status(archive);
    return NULL;
}

status_t Status::Archive(BMessage *archive, bool deep) const
{
	archive->AddString("class","Status");
	archive->AddString("Status::statusName",statusName);
	archive->AddString("Status::statusAbbreviation",statusAbbreviation);
	if(deep)
	{
		BMessage child;
		statusIcon->Archive(&child);
		archive->AddMessage("Status::statusIcon",&child);
	}
	return B_OK;
}

the program crashes on startup...it seems there's something going wrong in 
the validate_instantiation method...it crashes saying that there was a 
segment fault in strcmp in that function...any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Btw Daniel do we need to have the MsnObject in the Contact class(like we had 
it in the MsnBuddy code)? What does this MsnObject code do anyway?

Oh and I'm also talking with Remi of BeosFrance to help us with designing 
some emoticons...he sent me some already, and they look very promising.

regards,

Tim
