Doxygen documentation update:
* Changed alls @addtogroup to @ingroup. @addtogroup adds the comment to the group description, but doesn't add the file, class, function, ... to the group like @ingroup does. See for example http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/group__SpecialPage.html where it's impossible to see related files, classes, ... that should belong to that group.
* Added @file to file description, it seems that it should be explicitely decalred for file descriptions, otherwise doxygen will think that the comment document the first class, variabled, function, ... that is in that file.
* Removed some empty comments
* Removed some ?>
Added following groups:
* ExternalStorage
* JobQueue
* MaintenanceLanguage
One more thing: there are still a lot of warnings when generating the doc.
Currently produces very slow queries like the following:
SELECT /* ApiQueryLogEvents::execute SineBot */ log_type,log_action,log_timestamp,page_id,log_user,user_name,log_namespace,log_title,log_comment,log_params FROM `user`,`logging` FORCE INDEX (times) LEFT JOIN `page` ON ((log_namespace=page_namespace) AND (log_title=page_title)) WHERE (log_type != 'suppress') AND (user_id=log_user) AND log_deleted = '0' AND log_type = 'block' AND log_namespace = '2' AND log_title = '86.53.69.150' ORDER BY log_timestamp DESC LIMIT 2;
* Adding ApiQueryBase::addJoinConds() as wrapper for Database::select()'s $join_conds parameter
* Migrating query modules to addJoinConds()
* Using implicit join rather than INNER JOIN in ApiQueryBacklinks
* Using FORCE INDEX (times) on logging table in ApiQueryLogEvents; although MySQL 4 seems to pick this index automatically (evidenced by the fact the WMF servers are still alive), MySQL 5 doesn't and filesorts
* Replacing LEFT JOIN with implicit (inner) join in ApiQueryContributions: revisions without a corresponding page table entry shouldn't be shown anyway
* Added ApiQueryBase::addJoin() which provides a cleaner interface to construct JOIN queries. Behind the scenes this still uses the old, ugly way, but it'll be easy to rewrite when/if the Database class gets its own function for JOINs
* Used addJoin() in query modules where necessary
* Removed FORCE INDEX (rc_timestamp) from ApiQueryRecentchanges: it's nigh impossible to integrate with addJoin() and it doesn't seem to be necessary anyway (my MySQL instance automatically chooses rc_timestamp)
* Add @addtogroup tags to various classes, to try and group conceptually-related classes together.
* Add brief descriptions to various Special pages, thanks to Phil Boswell.
* Moving some docs to be right above the classes they represent, so that they are picked up.
* Convert "$dbw =& wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );" --> "$dbw = wfGetDB( DB_MASTER );"
* convert "$skin =& $wgUser->getSkin();" --> "$skin = $wgUser->getSkin();"
For the time being have not changed the function definitions of wfGetDB() or User::getSkin() [i.e. they are still both return-by-ref], so as to ensure the interface does not change for extensions [some of which may still be trying to run on PHP4 environments]. However presumably at some point this can be changed too.
Also includes tiny tweak to newlines in parserTests - will show 1 rather than 2 newlines between the "Reading tests from" strings when in quiet mode.
Three reasons for this:
1) It's better for analysis tools [which want explicit variable declaration]
2) It's easier for a human to read, as it's completely explicit where the variables came from [which is something you don't get with extract() ]
3) It makes it easier to find everywhere where a variable is used with search/grep [which you can't currently do with $tbl_page variables from things like: "extract($db->tableNames( 'page', 'revision'), EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, 'tbl');"].
Otherwise, from a functionality/efficiency perspective the two forms should be identical.
By doing this have been able run static analysis over the usages of these variables, thus eliminating 5 unneeded table names from calls, plus removing 3 unused calls entirely, and it just feels subjectively slightly nicer to me.
