The log viewer tool lets you inspect all the intermediate stages of the routing algorithms. This patch:
- Adds source location tracking of the debug calls (need to use the PNS_DBG macro, sorry)
- Moves some wxLogTrace calls to DEBUG_DECORATOR::Message() so that messages can be displayed alongside the corresponding geometric shapes
- Fix walk failure if the input path starts on the hull boundary
(happens very often during tight walkaround)
- Input line can have a loop at the end now. Such condition happens when the routing
destination point lies inside the hull of a colliding primitive.
By 'root lines' we mean the oldest traceable ancestor of each track moved by the router
(i.e. after shoving for a while, the root of each shoved line is it's latest non-shoved version).
With this we can teach the OPTIMIZER more tricks, such as the LIMIT_CORNER_COUNT constraint. It ensures
the results of the optimization will not be less cornery than the original line, reducing the feeling
of the optimizer being too intrusive.
Fixes picking the last segment instead of the last vertex to drag (when one is requested).
I didn't notice any behaviour change of the dragger wrs to arcs.
From discussion with Tom, Jeff, and Wayne, it appears as though
we all agreed that Highlight Collisions should behave like it
did in 5.1, which is to say, always just highlight collisions,
never prevent them. The Allow DRC Violations checkbox just
controls whether or not you can fix/commit the head line if it
has violations; you are not prevented from moving the head
line to violating positions in any case.
Right now, there does not seem to be much demand for a separate
"Stop at First Obstacle" mode since Walkaround basically does that
but better, but we agreed that if there is demand for it in the
future, it should be implemented as a new router mode rather than
a behavior of Highlight Collisions mode controlled by the Allow
DRC Violations checkbox.

Using a synthetic via here doesn't quite let us use VIA::PushoutForce
because it will use the wrong clearance, and also doesn't quite have
the logic we want. I am not familiar enough with PushoutForce to know
if its logic is a bug in other cases, so instead I just brought in the
parts of its algorithm that are needed here.
Additionally, we prevent pushing more than once from a given obstacle,
which causes walkaround to be more successful when routing diff pairs
against a large collider such as a keepout area.

I'm not sure where the magic number of "4x worst" came from, but it's
been around forever. This is extremely inefficient as it negates much
of the power of r-tree filtering in dense designs. If we really trusted
it, we could set this just to worstClearance. Keeping it above the worst
clearance by a little bit seems to provide enough of a speed improvement
to resolve the test cases I have, so I'll go with that for now.

This allows fixing/committing what is on screen even if the current
cursor position doesn't have a valid solution (the old behavior
would result in the current trace disappearing)
The previous method fails if the primitive is an expanding or

incorrect orientation, which then leads to incorrect candidate
gateways being generated and no solution found.

VIEW::GetBoundary() returns the entire view area, not the visible area.
Surprisingly, we had no API for this, so I added one.
Also, changed the dragger behavior to toggle between optimizing just the
modified area and optimizing the visible area, i.e. we will now never
optimize off-screen portions of the dragged track.
CHANGED: The interactive router settings now include a switch to
enable or disable optimization of the entire dragged track,
which is now disabled by default. When enabled, the router
will reroute the entire track (from the dragged segment to
the closest pad/via in each direction) to be more optimal.
When disabled, only the area around the dragged segment
will be modified.
CHANGED: The "optimizer effort" slider is removed from the interactive
router settings dialog, as this setting did not have any
meaningful impact in most cases and was a source of confusion.

on the layer being routed as well as the start object.

track width, and a particular track width needs to zero out when
you choose copy-track-width.

When invoking "Break Track" from the RMB context menu, Pcbnew
gets and uses the current position of the mouse to figure out where to
break the track. The problem is that the mouse has to be moved to select
the "Break Track" menu item, and the mouse position used is wrong. This
can result in the break in the wrong location or not happening at all.
CHANGED: This commit determines if the "Break Track" was invoked from a
context menu or a hotkey. If a hotkey, it uses the current mosue position.
If a context menu, it uses the original postion of the mouse when the menu
was opened.
The previous way of displaying a context menu was being
usurped by the selection tool because it was displaying its
menu before DispatchContextMenu was called, and all other tools
explictly use the TOOL_MENU system.

1) An actual distance of 0 is still a collision, even if the allowed
distance is 0.
2) Be consitent about edges and interiors. Everyone expect the edge
of a RECT to be part of the RECT; same with a CIRCLE. SHAPE_POLY_SET
shouldn't be any different. (And SHAPE_LINE_CHAIN was a split-
personality with the edge considered part of it for Collide() but not
for PointInside()).
There were a lot of plotters, exporters, etc. that were rolling their
own implementations.
This also introduces a lazily-built set of SHAPE objects for doing
collision detection and some forms of rendering (and later DRC).
It's currently only supported in the Footprint Editor. It could be
easily added to the board editor (all the code is there), but the board
editor is a little short on room in the drawing tools toolbar.
The arc shapes need to connect with their adjacent points. By storing
the relevant points, we allow exact point matching on both ends of the

and pcbnew can natively keep track of buses and nets
instead of just nets.

reasons and the snap-back doesn't take line width into account.

The problem is that wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK doesn’t do the key translation
properly. wxEVT_CHAR does, but we only get to that if we skip the
event at the end of the tool’s event processing loop, which most tools
don’t do. (Selection tools, point editors, pickers, and a couple of
others do skip, which is probably why this didn’t get reported earlier.)
I played around with a couple of ways to fix wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK. Most of
them don’t work, and the few egregious hacks I tried weren't cross-
platform.
So I’m changing it so that most tools now skip at the end of their
event loops. I left out a couple that I felt were high risk (length
tuning, for instance). But there’s still enough risk that I’m 100%

(cherry picked from commit e0589d2908)
Includes the addition of an onSetCursor() handler which must be called
from both the GAL canvas AND the GAL backend (at least on OSX) to prevent
cursor flickering between (for instance) pencil and arrow.
Also includes new architecture for point editors which allows them to
coordiate cursors with the editing tools (so we can switch to an arrow
when over a point).
We were running into various corner conditions where a tool's event
loop would exit while the tool was still active, or the tool would
get popped while we were still in the event loop. (A lot of these
had to do with the POINT_EDITOR's, but not all of them.)
The new architecture:
1) tools always do a Push()/Pop()
2) everyone is responsible for their own pops; no more stack-clearing
on a cancel
3) CancelInteractive events go to all tools to facilitate (2)
It's a bit of a hack because they're statically initialized and
so we can't make use of the _() macro. We do still want it in the
code, however, because the string harvesting is based off of it.

Libpolygon can provide its own includes via target_include_dirs PUBLIC.

As common requires polygon, the polygon dep is also now no longer

The bitmap definitions (BITMAP_DEF and so on) do not

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

smaller (20MB vs 200MB)
