[Xenocide-programming] RK new design

[Ermete G. <ex...@li...>]

Hi red, I'm sorry your review on my code took 4 hours of your time !!
As you said, you took an hard look on it.
I've just viewed your new design, I'll do my best. It's the first time for 
me working in team, today I learned a big lesson on how different ideas can 
be, inside two different brains. Definitely they are the same but... 
different. :huh:

Coming back to work, I have some things to say.
I agree with you that the names I used for classes were not completely 
clear; we can also rename PAQFile into PAQVirtualFile to finally resolve 
the confusion.
Then, PAQFile::onInvalidateFileManipulator() is noted "called from 
PAQFile", you ment PAQSolidFile?

The idea of using a PAQSolidFileManipulator is very good!! However I have 
not clear how the PAQSolidFile::lockFile() will work. Will it remove all 
manipulators and build only one manipulator write-enabled? Or will it 
destroy every PAQFile object previously created without notify the application?

Anyway, I suggest the manipulator class to be derived from IIAbstractFile
[CODE]
class PAQSolidFileManipulator : public IIAbstractFile
{
protected:
   PAQSolidFileManipulator ();
   virtual ~PAQSolidFileManipulator();
private:
   FILE *solidFileHandle;
};
[/CODE]

I'll post it on the list too..

regards
