To use multiple working threads. This entailed adding KiCad typedefs:
*) Add typedefs for MUTEX and MUTLOCK which mask the actual choices for the project.
*) Add FOOTPRINT_LIST::DisplayErrors( wxWindow* ) which is a single strategy for
showing aggregated load errors. Although what's there is only scaffolding
and needs a volunteer who knows HTML pretty well.
*) Ensure all callers of ReadFootprintFiles() use the new DisplayErrors() function.
*) Push utf8.cpp and utf8.h into common library for open use.
This keeps it out of the KiCad mode path, making that leaner and less confusing about
what is supported in KiCad mode. Within KiCad mode, treat quoted vs. non-quoted tokens
as the two general categories, with non-quoted having sub-categories. Eliminate
an unimplemented, unused function declaration in DSNLEXER.
Improve the output formatting of THROW_PARSE_ERROR().
* Add footprint methods to PCB_IO.
* Add FP_CACHE and FP_CACHE_ITEM for handling new footprint library design.
* Add code to save legacy libraries in new format.
* Change behavior of BOARD_ITEM::GetLayerName() to return the default layer
name when the item does not have a BOARD as a parent.
* Minor changes to the module output formatter when writing to module library
files (no BOARD as parent).
* Add new (and some that I forgot along the way) CMake flags to
EDA_BASE_FRAME::CopyVersionInfoToClipboard().
* Add -Wno-narrowing to GCC flags to stop GCC 4.7 from complaining about
a conversion from int to unsigned in the Boost polygon library.
* Add INPUT_STREAM_READER to richio.cpp to allow using any object derived
from wxInputStream as a LINE_READER (needs to be validated).
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* macros.h now has TO_UTF8() and FROM_UTF8() which are working converters
to and from UTF-8 encoding for any wxWidgets build mode. We can switch to
them at any time. I am using them now for specctra conversions and
elsewhere where I wanted gauranteed UTF8 encoding.
* added OUTPUTFORMATTER::Quoted( const wxString& ) to simplify converting
to UTF8 encoded s-expression atoms. The recommended technique is now simply:
out->Quoted( wxString ).c_str()
* Added the basic structure to the Sweet parser in sch_part.cpp.
* Got inheritence working off of the 'extends' keyword and PART::inherit()
* Tossed the units support out of sweet.keywords, since we agreed to go dimensionless.
++richio:
* Added the problemInputLine support to PARSE_ERROR, so UI can show the
offending line of bytes. Yes bytes, not even guaranteed to be characters.
* DSNLEXER now owns an abstract LINE_READER by pointer so that polymorphism
can be used in alternative LINE_READERS.
* Write FILE_LINE_READER and STRING_LINE_READER. The latter can be used
to parse text coming from the clipboard or other string source.
constructor takes a keyword table, so it can be used for arbitrary DSN
syntax files of your own chosing. Simply create an enum {} with all your
unique tokens in it. Then create a KEYWORD table. See SPECCTRA_DB::keywords[].
The reason you want an enum is to give the C++ debugger better type information
so it can show symbolic integer symbols.
* Factored out common richio.cpp and richio.h
which is what DSNLEXER uses.
* Fixed some minor issues with reading circuit descriptor from a *.dsn file.
