For everyone taking exams, all the best.

Yesterday I found a fairly simple (not very urgent) and self contained job
that needs to be done. Most classes have a dump method that is used to
display details on the screen. But they are inconsistent and not every clas=
s
has one. The task is to ensure that every class has one and that the method
is consistent. I think that the dump method should be of the following
format.

QString dump(bool)

It will return the class details in a QString, but additionally on a bool
switch it will write them to cout. This last feature could be controlled by
configuration switches which may determine if it is to be written, the leve=
l
of detail and where it is to be written. Actually I have a preference for
the configuration switches over the bool parameter thus the signature would
be: QString dump()

As I said this is non urgent so we can certainly mull the design over.

graeme.
