DEV300_m49
DEV300_m49 callcatcher results give xmlhelp,sccomp and lingucomponent as joining ranks of unused-method free.
cmcfixes59 will make autodoc unused-free, which should drop us under 1000, hopefully permanently 
unifypaper01 will add the Long Bond longer Legal paper size used in the Philippines, centralize all our paper-size to paper types maps, and centralize our various territory to default paper size maps and align them with the CLDR 1.7 table. glibc will also follow CLDR 1.7 in the next release, The upshot should be that Gnome, OOo etc. will/can agree on the default paper size out of the box

xresgrind
So, “xresgrind”, my unholy overkill union of valgrind with X Pixmap/Window/etc. tracking lurched to life earlier. Checking it against OOo to see if it would have been able to automatically detect the dread pixmap leak of i85321 (which is long fixed, just re-introduced it locally to have a look-see) shows the expected correct results of…
==13354== Resource 0x46002fb of class 2 never released, acquired at ==13354== at 0x400E2A6: XCreatePixmap (xr_intercepts.c:255) ==13354== by 0x6D971F7: ??? ==13354== by 0x548154F: SalGraphics::DrawAlphaBitmap(SalTwoRect const&, SalBitmap const&, SalBitmap const&, OutputDevice const*) (salgdilayout.cxx:793) ==13354== by 0x541322D: OutputDevice::ImplDrawAlpha(Bitmap const&, AlphaMask const&, Point const&, Size const&, Point const&, Size const&) (outdev2.cxx:1983) ==13354== by 0x5413CF8: OutputDevice::ImplDrawBitmapEx(Point const&, Size const&, Point const&, Size const&, BitmapEx const&, unsigned long) (outdev2.cxx:891) ==13354== by 0x54141FA: OutputDevice::DrawBitmapEx(Point const&, Size const&, Point const&, Size const&, BitmapEx const&) (outdev2.cxx:788) ==13354== by 0x53E1C6E: ImplImageBmp::Draw(unsigned short, OutputDevice*, Point const&, unsigned short, Size const*) (impimage.cxx:550) ==13354== by 0x54145B7: OutputDevice::DrawImage(Point const&, Image const&, unsigned short) (outdev2.cxx:1204)
Cool

DEV300_m48
DEV300_m48 callcatcher results. xml2cmp now unused method free, on the other hand svx has 35 new unused methods after the new code shuffle in that area

Happy birthday to Karl Barth
Karl Barth was born 123 years ago today. I am sure that he and Jesus are celebrating right now by listening to some Mozart together.

Messing with the Java Brand
Sun Java Desktop System (*)
Baigent: “The #9 Reason that Sun is Setting: Messing with the Java Brand: … the ill-fated Sun Java Desktop System … [it] was no more about Java than is Mac OS X (which, like JDS, contains a Java SE runtime)”
Yup, that was about the time I left Sun, rather gladly as there was clearly some
‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,’ it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.’
going on. It was a totally inane name, the Sun Java Desktop System simply wasn’t a Java desktop system, everyone knew it, nailing the word Java onto everything whether it had anything to do with Java or not was fingernail-pullingly painful. It should have been shot down by an independent advertising watchdog
*Contains only trace elements of Java

DEV300_m47
DEV300_m47 results, down 98 methods as bfshrink02 and sb109 get integrated, stoc, cppuhelper and configmgr no longer have any unused methods. binfilter’s unused list shrinks to effectively unused destructors which indicate leaks rather than code to be removed. sc continues to increase however. xml2cmp stuff will get removed in cmcfixes57.
The pap language code refers to both of the Papiamentu/Papiamento dialects, whose spelling differs. Of the major three islands speaking it we have:
Papiamentu
+ Curaçao
+ Bonaire
Papiamento
+ Aruba
Where, Aruba is a former Netherlands Antilles territory with an assigned territory code of “AW”, and the other two are current (for the moment anyway) Netherlands Antilles territories which has an assigned territory code of “AN”, so the glibc locale of pap_AN presumably should best be used to indicate the Papiamentu dialect rather than Papiamento
