There has been a long standing (since the beginning of the project?)
issue with sharing schematics between projects. It has been somewhat
supported for complex hierarchies (a sheet shared multiple times in a
single design) but it has not been well supported for simple hierarchies
(the symbol references cannot be changed in the shared schematic). This
issue has been resolved by moving all of the symbol instance sheet paths
from the symbol definitions in the all of the project files and save all
symbol path instances in the root sheet. This ensures that orphaned
symbol instance paths do not accumulate in shared schematic files and
that designs that reuse schematic in simple hierarchies can how have
different references. It also allows the root schematic from one project
to be uses as a sub-sheet in another project.
When legacy schematics are loaded, all sheet and symbol UUIDs are
converted from time stamps to true UUIDs. This is done to ensure there
are no sheet path instance clashes between projects. That being said,
there are no checks for this. It is assumed that the probability of
UUID clashes is so low that it doesn't make sense to test for them.
ADDED: Back annotation algorithm,
eeschema back annotation dialog
CHANGED: added some minor helper methods to SCH_REFERENCE_LIST and SCH_REFERENCE,
split SCH_REFERENCE_LIST::CheckAnnotation on 2 parts to reuse code
This moves EESchema DLIST structures to rtree. These changes are more
fundamental than the pcbnew changes from 9163ac543888c01d11d1877d7c1
and 961b22d60 as eeschema operations were more dependent on passing
drawing list references around with SCH_ITEM* objects.
Also fixes a bug where unannotated components would get references
of the form R-1 (because their reference number was -1).
Fixes: lp:1768814
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1768814
It happens only with option "Reset, but keep order of multi-unit parts, because the algo tried
to propagate the new reference to parts having the same old reference,
without testing if this old reference was duplicated.
Fixes: lp:1769250

This also makes the dialog modeless so that one switch between
sheets while annotating to choose the base numbers for each
sheet (assuming they don't like the base number we pick because
of the order of the sheets).
Fixes: lp:1154131

Also fixes:
- forcing the annotation scope to "full schematic" when run
as a prerequisite to Generate Netlist.
- a long-standing bug where displaying extra items in a dialog
would mess up the height of the HTML_REPORT_PANEL (becasue
we were setting the html window's height rather than its
parent flexgrid.
- initializing the annotation radio buttons to safe values
(full schematic and keep existing)

Use LIB_ID instead of wxString for storing the library symbol information
in the schematic symbol in preparation for the upcoming symbol library table
implementation.
Change the FindLibAlias and FindLibPart functions in the PART_LIBS object
instead of wxString. Please note that only the library ID name is used to
search the list of libraries. The library nickname is ignored. Once the
symbol library table is implemented and full LIB_IDs are defined, the
library search code will no longer be used and will only be kept to load
older schematics that have not been converted.
Move SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN_CACHE definition so that the legacy plugin knows
how to properly delete the cache object.
* coding standard fixes
* library part not library component (no such thing as a library component)
* string concatenation fix
* and an inline harmless debug/dump function
Libraries have been 100% case-sensitive for a while now; there is no longer a
need to keep this option around. This will change nothing except for any
stragglers still manually specifying this old option.
* Add sheet number that is set by schematic file load order. This duplicates
the previous SCH_SHEET_PATH behavior.
* Uncouple SCH_REFERENCE and SCH_REFERENCE_LIST from SCH_SHEET_PATH.
* Add - operator to SCH_SHEET for comparison purposes. This duplicates the
behavior of SCH_SHEET_PATH::Cmp().
