Talk:Viewer Source Files

This Aug 2007 page needs updating

Could someone with more knowledge and experience please update this Viewer Source Files wiki page?

I'm creating a page documenting where the various VFS, gVFS, gStaticVFS, and LFS references are located in the 1.19.1.4 source. I am basing the layout of the new page on that source file listing.

VFS: Where it is used in the viewer

In the process I've found a large collection of source files that aren't on the Viewer Source Files page, which I've stuck at the bottom of the new page:

VFS: Where it is used in the viewer#Unlisted in Viewer Source Files page

I can understand some of these files not being listed, since the viewer source page hasn't been updated since August 2007....... but many of the unlisted files I'm finding were in existence long before that time, like llvfs.cpp.

As a non-C++/Visual Studio programmer, I don't know how to determine which of these "extra" files are actually being used and where they should be added to the Viewer Source Files page. Some may be unused, legacy, or example files, but I have no idea.

Very Stale page

This page has not been significantly updated since in was first created for client 1.17.2. A large number of newer source files are not listed here, such as for the voice chat system and for sculpted primitives. As of today I have added this to Category:Articles in need of updating

As a non-official wiki editor and a non-expert programmer, I am loathe to making major changes here lest I get my hand slapped.

Personally I do not like this file since it does not correspond to the source directory structure. But then, I don't like the viewer directory structure either since a huge pile of stuff is thrown into \newview
