This change completely removes the LIB_ALIAS design pattern an replaces
it by allowing LIB_PART objects to inherit from other LIB_PART objects.
The initial implementation only allows for single inheritance and only
supports the mandatory fields in the derived part because that is all
that the current symbol library file format will support. Once the new
file format is implemented and saving to the old file format is deprecated,
more complex inheritance will be added. The LIB_ALIAS information saved
in the document files was move into the LIB_PART object. This change
impacts virtually every part of the schematic and symbol library editor
code so this commit message is woefully incomplete.
REMOVE: Removed the symbol aliases concept from the schematic and symbol
editors and the symbol viewer.
NEW: Replace the symbol alias concept with simple inheritance that allows
a library symbol to be derived from another library symbol.
Do not keep pointer to SCH_EDIT_FRAME in the rescuer object to prevent
it from creating dialogs with itself as the parent when call from the
rescue dialog which is itself a grandchild of the frame window.
It can be useful to have similar class messages grouped together so that
error messages in a larger report don't get lost among the
warning/info/action messages.
This patch allows sorting of messages for dialogs that benefit from
organization. Default behavior of reporter messages remains
unchanged by this patch.

The backup code was designed for a project with all of the schematics
in the project folder which is not always the case. Fix the schematic
backup to keep the schematic folder structure in tact during backups.

Change the behavior of the remapping algorithm to remap even if a
project symbol library table exists in the project file in case a
previous attempt to remap failed. The existing symbol library table
is backed up to the back folder and rebuilt.

File names with spaces were causing invalid symbol names in both the
rescue library and the cache which would cause both libraries to fail
to load because library symbol names are not escaped so the spaces
tripped up the library parser. Replace the spaces in the file names
with hyphens and in both the rescuer and the remapping code so the
library nickname in the symbol library table does not contain spaces.
Update the symbol library table dialog to prevent users from defining
library nicknames with spaces. This is different than the footprint
library table which allows nicknames with spaces. This solution is
a temporary fix until the new symbol library and schematic file formats
are implemented.
Fix off by one row in illegal nickname error message in the symbol
library table editor.
Create separate folder in project path to backup files changed during
remapping.
Add time stamp to backup file names in case multiple remappings are
performed.
Add backup file information to report panel instead of using debug
trace messages.
Disable the remap button if the user does not have write privileges to
the current project path.
The Windows drive specifier C: was being interpreted as a valid URL by
wxURI which was performing a URL comparison instead of a file comparison
which always failed in LIB_TABLE_BASE::FindRowByURI(). Change test for
URI to search string for "://" to determine if the comparison should be
a URI (string) comparison or a file (wxFileName) comparison.
Don't run final rescue unless the user performs the remapping.
The remapping utility would create a new project specific library when a
symbolic link pointed to a library already defined in the symbol library
table. Now the comparison checks to see if the library path and file
name are actually a symbolic link if the file names are not the same when
the symbol library table entry is a file name rather than a URL. URLs
are simple string comparisons.
Disable the remap button after the remapping completed.
Remove some commented out code from the edit symbol in schematic dialog.

If a schematic contains two symbols with the same name from different
libraries, the cache will contain the last symbol saved with that name.
Prepend the library nickname with the original schematic symbol library
nickname when saving the cache library to prevent name collisions.
Don't back up schematic files unless the user requests a remap.
Back up all files that could be changed by a remap including the
schematic file(s), cache library, project file, and rescue library
files.
Use an HTML control instead of a static text control for improved layout
of the user remap prompt.
Improve the user prompt in the remap dialog to make it clear that changes
will be made to project files.
Do not attempt to normalize environment variables that are not valid
paths, paths that do not exist, or paths that the user does not have
read access to.

In the rare case when something goes wrong with the symbol library
table remapping, do not attempt to rescue symbols that are neither
in the cache nor in any of the libraries.
The legacy rescue library code overwrote the existing library so
previous rescues would get lost. If the rescue library exists,
copy it's contents into the new rescue library before adding the
new rescued symbols so no previously rescued symbols are lost.
Fix a null pointer bug in the symbol library editor when no symbol
is loaded.
Set LIB_ID item name to name passed to LIB_PART ctor.
Copy LIB_ID in LIB_PART copy ctor.
The old symbol library list save/load code does not get called in the
schematic project file configuration code. Use the LibNamesAndPaths
static function from the PART_LIBS object.
Bump schematic file version from 3 to 4 which represents the switch to
the library table symbol linking which is incompatible with all previous
versions.
Refresh the schematic after running remapping dialog manually.
Remove all symbol libraries from the project file after remapping to
prevent symbols that should be loaded from the cache being loaded from
a library further up the search order. Save the project file to clear
all of the libraries so they never get reloaded again.
Remove the symbol library management dialog and menu entries.
Rename the symbol library table dialog menu entry.
Remove all symbol libraries from default project file to prevent clashes
with the cache library.
Fix illegal symbol naming in Eagle plugin.
Refactor rescue objects so that they can support derivation.
Factor out legacy rescuer code to perform legacy project rescues.
Create new symbol library table rescuer for rescuing symbol library table
based projects.
Perform the correct rescue type on project load.
Add symbol library table remapping support to the tools menu for run on
demand as applicable.
Add flag to SCH_SCREENS::UpdateSymbolLinks() to allow forcing the symbol
link updates when the library modification hash has not changed.
Simplify some of the library editing code. There have been a few minor
changes in the behavior of the editor. If the current symbol is deleted
from the library, the next symbol in the library is not loaded. The
deleted symbol is cleared and the current symbol is empty.
Change component to symbol to align with the preferred terminology
discussed on the developer's mailing list.
Add separate update UI event for save library as to enable the menu entry
whenever a library is selected.
Change the select symbol list dialog to a single column using the LIB_ID
format LIB_NICKNAME:LIB_ITEM_NAME so that the selection can be parsed by
LIB_ID.
Add method to expand URI to LIB_TABLE_BASE.
Override wxApp::OnExceptionInMainLoop() in debug builds to make debugging
easier when an unhandled exception occurs in a wxUpdateUIEvent handler.
Change SCH_SCREENS::HasNoFullyDefinedLibIds() to return false when the
schematic has no symbols to prevent the remapping dialog from being run.
Use SCH_COMPONENT part reference when creating netlist rather than looking
up the library symbol.
Use GetPath() instead of GetFullPath() when initializing environment
variable table entries KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR and KICAD_PTEMPALTE due to
unexpected trailing path separator which was causing find libraries
by URI to fail.
Don't create a project symbol library table when there are no libraries
not found in the global symbol library table.
Don't add non-existent libraries to project symbol library table.
Clear symbol library table when loading a new schematic.
Minor remapping status message improvements.
Check the if the schematic being loaded has been remapped (no symbol
library table nicknames defined) and remap accordingly.
Fix issues when resolving the library symbol links in the schematic
symbols.
Add cache library fallback when resolving symbols that cannot be
remapped.
Add remap complete message to remap dialog.
Add HasLibrary() helper to LIB_TABLE_BASE.
Fix issues when loading library symbols using symbol library table.
Add hashing function to symbol library table.
Improve the symbol panel message to warn user when cache library is
used to resolve symbol.
This forces the compiler class specific features rather than borrowing
from the base class's std::string. In some cases prior to this,
wxString( std::string ) was being called rather than UTF8::operator
wxString() leading to garbled wxStrings.
Added function UTF8::wx_str() which is of great convenience also.
Implicit conversions still work as before, and hopefully more reliably.
Create dialog and code to allow legacy schematic symbols to be remapped
from the old library path look up method to the new symbol library table
method by using the following steps:
1) Create a project symbol library table containing all of the symbol
libraries defined in the old library look up list not found in the
global symbol library table.
2) Map each symbol to the correct symbol in the symbol library table
if possible.
Recreate library link to symbols so look up method can be converted to
symbol library table properly.
Add function to SCH_COMPONENT to link library symbols using the symbol
library table.
