[Openstreetmap-dev] Hacking osm-editor (warning c++ newbie)

[Alex Willmer]

Evening all,

I've been trying out the latest osm-editor, seems to be just the ticket.

There was one aspect that bugged me. To save a _lot_ of space my gpx
files are all gzipped (eg track-20050101,gpx.gz). It would be nice if
osm-editor could read them directly, rather than needing to gunzip them
myself.

With this in mind I made some tentative edits to MainWindow.cpp, diff is
attached.

Frankly, this is my first ever c++ code beyond "Hello World!" and I'm
sure it shows. Most of it is an educated guess, some is shooting blind.

My compilation is bombing out at line 402, when I try to pass a QBuffer
to the constructor of QXmlInputSource. I've tried decorating the qbuf
argument with &/* but those are obviously also wrong.

I'd just like to know, am I on the right track, even to produce a memory
leaking, but functioning hack. Or is this a complete WTF?

Thanks

Alex

Here is the compilation error I'm receiving:
