The bitmap definitions (BITMAP_DEF and so on) do not
have any dependencies on other libs, including WX. This
means the bitmaps library can be isolated from the other
dependencies.
Common now depends on bitmaps, and libraries that depend
on common can pick it up from the common target_link_libraries,
as it is PUBLIC. This means a lot of targets no longer
need manual bitmap linkage.
This avoids a circular dependency that was previously reported
by static analysis.
Avoiding pulling in WX and other headers into the include
tree of each bitmap .cpp is a huge speed up (around 10x) in
compilation, and the generated static library is also 10x
smaller (20MB vs 200MB)
Add common as a link library to pnsrouter,connectivity.
THese library do still use common code (including bitmaps,
via base_screen.h) and this allows them to pick up the libcommon
includes correctly.
Move into own include directory for clarity. Also allows qa_utils
to use its own private headers in qa/qa_utils without exposing them
through the target_include_directories directive.
Several pcbnew_tools utilities read a file from the command line.
Instead of replicating this code, centralise the code in
qa_pcbnew_utils, which allows simpler reuse.
THe utilities are:
* polygon_triangulation
* polygon_generator
* drc_tool
pcb_parser keeps its own function, as that is the focus of the tool,
and its likely to have its own instrumention.
This also adds the ability to read from stdin for the above tools,
which means fuzz testers could theoretically work with them, and it
also can make life easier if you can pipe a board to the executable
directly.
Introduce the concept of a DRC_PROVIDER which allows
to separate the various DRC functions to their own
areas. This allows, amongst other things, a slimmer core
DRC class, and allows DRC functions to be separately testable.
The courtyard DRCs (overlap, missing and malformed)
are the first victims, so instrumentation can be added to this function.
Add some unit tests on this DRC function, as well a few re-usable PCB-based
utility functions in a library (qa_pcbnew_utils) that could be shared between
unit tests and other utilities.
