Re: [ros-dev] [EVENTVWR/EVENTLOG] Fix a double off-by-one bug

[Eric Kohl]

Hi Love,

I just committed a fix for the calculation of the available number of 
event records. It addresses the issues you mentioned.

And this is how it works:
When a new log file is created, the first (or oldest) record gets the 
record number 1. With each new event record the record number is 
incremented by 1. To get the number of records in the log file we need 
to subtract the OldestRecordNumber from the CurrentRecordNumber. If the 
log file is empty the OldestRecordNumber will be 0. In this case we will 
return 0 for the number of event records.

Now we call clear a filled log file and fill it with new records. The 
oldest record will not be record number 1 but we can still return the 
true number of records in the log file.

Regards
Eric
