Wayne Stambaugh 467aa47bbb Update coding policy for control blocks.
All control blocks (if, for, while, etc.) should have a blank line
before the opening statement and after the closing curly brace or
statement so that it is clear where the control block begins and
ends.

Wayne Stambaugh ede39780e2 Remove all debugging output that cannot be disabled.
The use of printf, wxLogDebug, and std::err/std::out causes excessive
debugging output which makes finding specific debugging messages more
difficult than it needs to be.

There is still some debugging output in test code that really needs to
be moved into a unit test.

Add debugging output section to the coding policy regarding debugging
output.

Ian McInerney ab83c86210 Remove the platform-specific GetBackendScalingFactor from HIDPI_GL_CANVAS
The scaling factor stored inside the canvas is created by a DPI_SCALING
helper, which will call the platform-specific functions if no user scaling
is specified. This change only affects OSX and Retina displays, so this
now also allows custom scaling to be used on OSX if desired (although it
shouldn't be needed, since wx has detection for it in 3.0.4).

Wayne Stambaugh 9817b63f66 Minor coding policy document fixes.
Ironically make the document formatting more consistent and remove
some trailing whitespace.

Changed "When it Rome.." title since may not have the same meaning in
other languages as it does in English.  Also add table of contents to
this section for linking purposes.

Ian McInerney 2e5b8d0a8f Update commit message policy
Giving both the issue number and URL is redundent in the message.
GitLab can automatically close the issue using the URL, so only
give the URL so it can be viewed in the log.

John Beard 4dc82ff76f Technical TODO: make_unique is no longer polyfilled

so remove the TODO item.

sense for ADD not NEW.

It allow using the previous font set without CJK.

with some graphic cards.

Seth Hillbrand 044b4a6d4c Bump C++ version to c++14
This is a provisional bump.  If supported platforms

experience issues with this version we will revert back to c++11.

No code that requires c++14 will be committed yet.

  proper version is found for the flags provided

Seth Hillbrand e52afd93a3 Remove Legacy options for overlay/context
These options were used to support the legacy canvas when drawing on
MacOS and GTK3.  With the move to 100% GAL, they are extraneous.  This
moves all DC over to "COPY" as we only use this for printing support in
Eeschema at the moment, so there is a single draw command (no erasing)
for the canvas.

Wayne Stambaugh c711ad5c7c Update compiling document Python scripting options.

Python scripting module support or the Python scripting action menu
support are enabled.

John Beard 241127788e Format: add some formatting aliases, improve dev docs
The aliases are easier than calling check_coding.sh manually,

do the same for these.

John Beard 840e08fa78 QA eeschema: add some tests
This adds a few tests on:

* LIB_PART
* SCH_PIN
* SCH_SHEET
* SCH_SHEET_PATH

These tests exercise some of the basic code paths in these classes
and show some of the expected behaviours.

None of these tests are particularly ground-breaking, but they
provide a starting point to build out further tests, and to ensure
the already-covered behaviour is stable.

It does expose some places where SCH_SHEET could probably use const.

Wayne Stambaugh 3caa4376a5 Developer documentation updates.
Remove version 5 road map since version 5 has been released.

Update version 6 road map to reflect current development goals.

Cleaned out old goals from generic road map in preparation for version
7 development.

Add note to compiling document about building with Boost 1.70 on Windows.

Fix link to Linux coding style policy in KiCad Coding Style Guide.

Update tool framework documentation to reflect changes in the tool
framework code.

John Beard 272c045c37 Format: Default to switch cases on separate lines by default
Currently, the format enforces single lines when possible, but does
not enforce readable column-based alignment (and, moreover, *removes*
such manually added alignment:

    switch( m_orientation )
    {
    case PIN_RIGHT: m_orientation = PIN_UP; break;
    case PIN_UP: m_orientation = PIN_LEFT; break;
    }

Change this to multi-line by default:

    switch( m_orientation )
    {
    case PIN_RIGHT:
        m_orientation = PIN_UP;
        break;
    case PIN_UP:
        m_orientation = PIN_LEFT;
        break;
    }

If the developer wishes for column-aligned single-line cases, this
is permitted, but much be done manually:

    switch( m_orientation )
    {
    case PIN_RIGHT: m_orientation = PIN_DOWN;  break;
    case PIN_UP:    m_orientation = PIN_RIGHT; break;
    }

CHANGE: the _clang-format file to reflect this, and add note about
manual override in the dev docs.

John Beard 957f868e2f Docs: add a 'technical todo' list
Provides a place to record work that is pending due to
library, compiler or language restrictions.

Because some of this work will be pending for several years
until supported distros support the relevant versions, having
this centrally documented prevents it being forgotten.

Also includes current distro versions for extant "LTS"
distros that are likely to be the distros holding back
library versions.

Only includes things we currently actually do work around
in the code, or things that are direct C++ replacements
(e.g. Boost libraries being adopted to C++).
This is as opposed to more opinion-based "we should
 do it this way, it's better" things, which should be
proposed for discussion first.

John Beard f4ba3cd910 QA: Add build-time option to enable XML output from tests
This allows CI tools to get machine-readable test reports.

By default, this is off - when you test normally, you probably
want the regular console spew.

Boost tests use the in-built Boost test command line options.

The Python tests take an --xml parameter and output the tests
there.

John Beard 45aa514591 QA: Allow to build tests manually if disabled
Add a new CMake target, qa_all, which builds all
tests, tools and their deps.

Then, when KICAD_BUILD_QA_TESTS is set OFF, remove tests
and tools from the ALL target, so `make all` doesn't include
these builds.

This means even when you turn the KICAD_BUILD_QA_TESTS option
off, you still have the option to:

* Build individual tests: `make qa_pcbnew`
* Build all tests: `make qa_all_tests`
* Build all tools: `make qa_all_tools`
* Build all QA executables: `make qa_all`

This also will provide a place to hang extra logic for test routine
wrangling (e.g. by CI tools)

Update the "Compiling KiCad" dev docs.

Also, CMakeModules .cmake files should not be excluded from git

jean-pierre charras ead5bfe64b Add option to build QA test suite (this option is on by default.
KICAD_BUILD_QA_TESTS=OFF skips the QA test suite build.
This is useful for daily work on Kicad. It spares compil and link time.

Seth Hillbrand 257d9b5fe9 Allow setting the kicad config dir

John Beard a7270f8c1c Formatting: prefer a Git config variable to env var
The keeps all the formatting config together in the Git ecosystem
and keeps the config on a per-repo basis, unless the user explicitly
sets it --global.

Keep the old env var behaviour for now for backwards compatibility.
