CHANGED: Derived library symbols will inherit optional fields defined by
their parent symbol and override existing optional fields.
CHANGED: The symbol editor will now only display the fields defined in
derived symbols rather than show mandatory fields inherited from the
parent symbol. Showing fields that cannot be edited would be confusing.
CHANGED: All mandatory fields in derived symbols can be edited. This
not only includes the field value but also all text properties.
Kill the dual datasheet variable storage which caused many datasheet
bugs over the years. The datasheet is now always stored in the data
sheet field.
In order allow the new file format to support derived symbols with
field properties that are different than the parent symbol, the code
that copied the parent field properties to the derive symbol field
properties had to moved out of LIB_PART::SetParent() into the legacy
symbol library plugin and the symbol library editor add new symbol
code to preserve the current behavior and not overwrite derived
symbol field properties.
This lays the ground work for allowing field properties of derived
symbols to be different than their parent symbol.
The code that checked for pin conflicts to determine if a symbol needed
rescued did not check either the pin convert setting so it was possible
for a pin from the other convert on symbols that do not have identical
units to appear to not have a pin conflict. Add tests for pin unit and
convert setting to prevent that from breaking the comparison. This must
have always been broken.
Fix the symbol preview widget to prevent drawing all symbols on top of
each other (if we need to do this the code will have to be revised) and
also show the convert if valid.
Fix broken symbol cache library when saving alias symbols.

It looks good, but non-mandatory fields have an ID of -1, so it
doesn't actually work. Some places got around this by converting
the ID to unsigned, but this just hides the real issue from
unsuspecting coders.

This implements all existing symbol library object support and the ability
to save and load symbol library files between file formats for round robin
testing.
CHANGES: Symbol library file format has been converted to s-expressions.
Add support code for picking apart symbols at some future junction that
will allow full inheritance conversion of existing symbol libraries. For
now, symbols arranged by unit and body style numbers are nested for round
robin testing of symbol libraries once the parser is complete.
When searching for fields, the code was sometimes comparing translated and not translated names.
This is an issue for mandatory fields, in non English languages.
Translated field names should be used only in messages.
When opening the symbol editor without loading the schematic editor the
default text size setting is not loaded and was defaulting to the old mils
setting. Convert the default text size to internal units in case the
symbol editor is launched first.
Set default line, bus, and selection highlight width to internal units.
Change new symbol dialog pin position offset control from a spin control
to a text control so the unit binder object can handle converting to and
from internal units.
Fixes#3802https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3802
Abandon the previous behavior of always creating a new copy of the
buffered symbol which required a re-parenting of every derived symbol
to prevent accidentally orphaning a derived symbol parent symbol
pointers.
This change required something that should have been done a long time
ago by adding an assignment operator to LIB_PART. The assignment
operator makes it possible to create a single copy of the symbol to
buffer which gets updated rather than deleting the last copy and
replacing it with a new copy.
Add a clear method to the MULTIVECTOR class so that existing LIB_PART
object draw items can be removed before assigning the draw items from
the part being assigned.
Fixes#3672https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3672
The library manager update part function was orphaning the root symbol
of derived symbols when the root symbol was edited. Re-parent the
inherited symbols when updating a root symbol.
Update the mandatory field attributes whenever the parent is set for
derived parts. This will show the fields with the correct attributes
in the symbol editor and viewer.
Using std::unique_ptr to hold the current symbols was deleting the
pointer on symbol selection changes causing the pointer in the library
manager buffer to be stale in some cases. Revert back to using a
simple pointer and manual clean up as required.
Prevent derived symbols from being saved to a different library to
prevent orphaned symbols.
Fixes kicad/code/kicad#3649
Replace some C casts with C++ dynamic_cast.
Fix iterator bug when deleting inherited symbols from legacy file format
symbol library cache.
Remove unnecessary const when return wxString object instead of reference.
Don't clobber value file when load aliases in legacy symbol library cache
parser.
Use actual symbol library LIB_PART pointer rather than a flattened copy
of the symbol. This fixed a bug when displaying the parent field in the
message panel for derived symbols.
Simplify the flatten code by copying the parent and updating the lesser
information from the inherited symbol.
This change completely removes the LIB_ALIAS design pattern an replaces
it by allowing LIB_PART objects to inherit from other LIB_PART objects.
The initial implementation only allows for single inheritance and only
supports the mandatory fields in the derived part because that is all
that the current symbol library file format will support. Once the new
file format is implemented and saving to the old file format is deprecated,
more complex inheritance will be added. The LIB_ALIAS information saved
in the document files was move into the LIB_PART object. This change
impacts virtually every part of the schematic and symbol library editor
code so this commit message is woefully incomplete.
REMOVE: Removed the symbol aliases concept from the schematic and symbol
editors and the symbol viewer.
NEW: Replace the symbol alias concept with simple inheritance that allows
a library symbol to be derived from another library symbol.
Items that have BG fill need to be plotted in the background but we
still need their stroked edges to be in the FG. This is a workaround
that overplots the edges ensuring visual similarity. Re-working the
plot engine to support layers is a larger project.

This fixes multiple issues when importing Eagle V6 files.
Crashes occured when arcs of 0-length were found and when parts were
referenced in the schematic that were not found in the library. This
could happen if the library and schematic were different cases.

In the component, an m_unit/m_convert element is 1-indexed as opposed to
the library where they are 0-indexed. The 0-index in the library is
reserved for those elements that are shared across all conversion/unit
whereas it is invalid for the component.

We add LIB_ALIAS to the VIEW rtree when choosing a new symbol or
browsing. The actual display element may change based on the unit or
demorgan representation but there will only ever be a single one drawn.
This will set the view bbox to maximum to ensure it is always checked
for drawing.

The '/' and ':' are reserved and cannot be used in symbol or footprint
names. They will cause the LIB_ID parser and formatter to fail. While
it seems like they should be legal in symbol alias names, they will
trigger a symbol rescue the next time the schematic is loaded.
Use ID_SCH as in the Eagle schematic plugin rather than ID_ALIAS to
ensure symbol names do not need rescued the next time the schematic is
opened.
Remove ID_ALIAS since the rules for alias names are the same as the
rules for symbol names. Otherwise, allowing '/' and ':' in alias names
will force a symbol rescue on the next schematic load.
