OK. The fix is simple. As you know the Application instance is not
created when the export command-line feature is requested. This patch
fixes the crash and goes in soon.
So it is not possible to use the server in commandline mode? I am not
sure whether this is good.
Hum, now you talk about it... I have already transfered the BufferList
to the LyX class. I can as well transfer the LyXFunc, the LyXServer and
the LyXServerSocket.
I don't have a good overview over this stuff an therefore no strong opinion.
This way Application will be reserved to frontend matters exclusively.
Application could then be renamed to Frontend I guess.
What do you think?
I don't think that we should have a Frontend. I would rather like to always
have an Application. I thought you already did that? I am sure that there
are more places where theApp is accesssed wher theApp actually could be 0.
I will get rid of this global pointer, at least in the kernel code.
When we now have no Application object we would have a NoGuiApplication that
would implement the interface of Application. Those methods that would not
make sense (e.g. clipboard access) would either be noops or could throw an
exception.
I think I am going to split Application in two as I said in a FIXME in
the patch I posted earlier:
Create a CoreApplication class that will provide the main event loop and
the socket callback registering. With Qt4, only QtCore library would be
needed. When this done, a lyx::server_mode could be created and the
following two line would be moved out from here.
