ExtSSTRecord
Hi everyone,
What is the deal with the ExtSSTRecord? There are a few oddities with the
implementation that either I don't understand or are wrong....
Here is the getRecordSize method:
public int getRecordSize()
{
return 6 + 0x3fa - 2;
}
What is that magic 0x3fa number? Shouldn't it be:
public int getRecordSize()
{
return 6 + 8*getNumInfoRecords();
}
A similar issue with the serialise method with also contains that magic
number (0x3fa) ???
I will change it to be what I think is right (as depicted above) unless
someone has an objection or my understanding is not correct.
Please let me know..
Jason

This record is for "optimization". It doesn't appear to be necessary and
its completely undocumented (or the documentation is incomprehensible).
OpenOffice doesn't seem to make this record either.
