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.
This allows to feed any data directly into the sexpr parser. This can be
used for:
* Benchmarking, profiling and optimisation
* Fuzz testing
* Debugging
As an example, it demonstrates that a 15MB kicad PCB file (the CIAA
motherboard project) takes 1.5s to parse, and uses 140MB of heap
allocation within the Parse() method (using Valgrind massif).
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.
Add a tool that allows a user to run DRC functions
on a given KiCad PCB file.
The first available functions are the courtyard functions.
Also move most of the utility program logic into qa_util for
better reusability.
The intention here is to make it possible to wrap up many of the
KiCad utility tools into a single executable. This reduces link times
as well as the duplication of CMake files needed to build very
similar tools.
This particular tool should be suitable for any code in common,
code in pcbnew and other end-executables probalby will need an
analagous version linked to the relevant kiface.
The first tool is the coroutine_example.cpp test case, which
can be useful when learning, debugging or porting the coroutine
infrastructure.
