Fixed crashes of ratsnest when a pointer for an item has changed after undo/redo operations.
Vias are properly removed from ratsnest (pcbnew/class_board.cpp).
RN_DATA::Update()/AddSimple() take BOARD_ITEM* as the parameter (instead of being split to versions with BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM* and MODULE*), to make the code look clearer.
Now, nets are saved with consecutive net codes (both modern & legacy plugins).
Zones are saved together with their nets, without depending on the fact if there are any pads with such net. Therefore validation of zone net names was removed (pcbnew/class_board.cpp).
Performed tests:
- Changed a pad's net name from empty to existent - ok, name was changed.
- Changed a pad's net name from empty to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name stays empty.
- Changed a pad's net name from existent to empty - ok, net name became empty
- Changed a pad's net name from existent to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name is not changed.
- Drawn a zone that belongs to a net, then modified schematics so the net does not exist anymore. After reloading the net list, all pads/tracks are updated. Zones still belongs to the net that does not exist in the schematic (but still exists in .kicad_pcb file). After running DRC, the zone becomes not filled.
- Undo & redo affects assignment of a polygon to a specific net (you may change net of a polygon, refill it and undo/redo the changes).
- KiCad s-expr & legacy, Eagle, P-CAD boards seem to load without any problem (they also contain correct net names assigned to the appropriate pads). All types of board file formats were loaded, then saved in sexpr format and reopened with a KiCad built from the master branch (without my modifications).
- A few boards were also saved using the legacy format and were opened with the master KiCad without any issues.
- Change a net name for a pad, restore with undo/redo - ok
- Remove everything, restore with undo - ok
- Remove everything, reload netlist - ok
Differences observed between files saved by the master branch KiCad and this one:
- list of nets are not saved in any particular order, so net codes may differ
- the default net class does not contain the unconnected net
GetNet() refers to the net code stored in the NETINFO_ITEM. SetNet() finds an appropriate NETINFO_ITEM and uses it.
Removing GetNet() & SetNet() (and the whole net code idea) requires too many changes in the code (~250 references to the mentioned functions).
BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEMs by default get a pointer to NETINFO_ITEM that stores unconnected items. This requires for all BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEMs to have a parent (so BOARD* is accessible). The only orphaned item is BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS::m_Pad_Master, but it does not cause any issues so far.
Items that do not have access to a BOARD (do not have set parents) and therefore cannot get net assigned, by default get const static NETINFO_LIST::ORPHANED.
Performed tests:
- loaded .kicad_pcb, KiCad legacy board, Eagle 6.0 board, P-CAD board - all ok
- load a simple project, reload netlist after changing connections in eeschema - ok
- save & reload a board - ok, but still contain empty nets
- remove everything, restore with undo - ok
- remove everything, reload netlist - ok
- changing net names (all possibilites: empty->existing, empty->not existing, existing->empty, existing->not existing) - all ok
- zones: when net is changed to a net that does not have any nodes besides the zone itself, it does not get filled
- ZONE_CONTAINER::m_Netname field
- ZONE_CONTAINER::SetNetName()
- ZONE_CONTAINER::SetNet() [it uses the one in BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM]
- ZONE_CONTAINER::GetNetName() [instead BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::GetNetname is used]
- ZONE_CONTAINER::SetNetNameFromNetCode()
Performed tests:
- Drawn a zone that belongs to a net, then modified schematics so the net does not exist anymore. After reloading the net list, all pads/tracks are updated. Zones still belongs to the net that does not exist in the schematic (but still exists in .kicad_pcb file). After running DRC, the zone becomes not filled.
- Undo & redo affects assignment of a polygon to a specific net (you may change net of a polygon, refill it and undo/redo the changes).
D_PAD::GetNetname() and D_PAD::GetShortNetname() were moved to BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM. Now they use the net name stored in NETINFO_ITEM.
Moved some one-line functions from class_board_connected_item.cpp to class_board_connected_item.h.
Added a copyright notice, moved Doxygen comments from class_board_connected_item.cpp to class_board_connected_item.h.
I have some doubts if changes introduced pcbnew/dialogs/dialog_pad_properties.cpp do not break anything, but I could not find a test case that breaks the pcbnew.
Performed tests:
- changed pad's net name from empty to existent - ok, name was changed
- changed pad's net name from empty to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name stays empty
- changed pad's net name from existent to empty - ok, net name became empty
- changed pad's net name from existent to nonexistent - ok, error message is displayed, net name is not changed
- (re)reading netlists, including net changes - fine, changes are applied, but empty nets are still kept
- loaded pcbnew/pcad2kicadpcb_plugin/examples/CK1202_V1.pcb to test P-CAD import plugin - ok, net names are correct
- imported an Eagle 6.0 board (Arduino Uno; http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino_Uno_Rev3-02-TH.zip) then saved in .kicad_pcb format and reloaded - ok, net names are correct
- saved demos/video/video.kicad_pcb in legacy format and then loaded it again - ok, net names are correct
