- While strolling through the OpenDoc Class Reference recently (just now...)
- I noticed (what at first seemed a typo but later...) an unusual (?) argument
- "type"ing (?) for lack of a better word... For example, in the ODObject
- class, there is a method AcquireExtension which has one argument:
- "in ODType extensionName". The method prototype would be:
-
- ODExtension AcquireExtension(in ODType extensionName) ;
-
- The "Discussion" portion of the reference states: "Your part calls this
- method to obtain a reference to an extension object with the specified
- extension type." Well, okay. That would (to me) be:
-
- const ODExtension& AcquireExtension(ODType extensionName) ;
-
- What am I missing (alot, I think...)? What is that "in" type thing at the
- top, anyway? (Note: there are many more methods described in this manner
- throughout the manual, so I doubt that there could be typos...).
-
- Thank you for putting up with such a dumb question...
