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.
This is the first step to allowing non-segments in the line chain.
External routines cannot be allowed to change the line chain without
going through the internal routines. To accomplish this, we remove the
Vertex() and Point() access routines and only leave the const versions.
Transformations are given for both points as well as the chain itself.
This means that utility programs no longer have to be manually
added to the COMBINED_UTILITY, they self-register their
information at static init time. This is basically the same concept
as the Boost test registration.
All utilities need to do now is register their UTILITY_PROGRAM info
struct with the UTILITY_REGISTRY::Register method. No headers required.
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.
