! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the
USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it
off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
the one tagged with "stable".
* Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
targeted purposes:
a) DLL/DSO specific
b) PROJECT specific
c) EXE or process specific
d) configuration file specific data
e) configuration file manipulations functions.
All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
functionality into the proper box.
* Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
* Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
* Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
* Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
* Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
* Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
* Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
static construction.
* Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
* Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like
wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
of construction.
* Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
* No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
In particular the new mechanism for handling extended color palettes is in place,
included renaming the ini keys and saving the color name instead of its index; this means better forward compatibility with palette changes.
Since ini keys are changed, colors will be reset
* BLOCK_SELECTOR class is not longer derived from EDA_ITEM.
* Encapsulate BLOCK_SELECTOR class member variables and add access methods.
* Move HandleBlockBegin() function from block_commande.cpp to drawframe.cpp.
* Remove virtual methods from top level derived objects per future
coding policy change.
* Remove Doxygen copydoc statement from objects derived from EDA_ITEM
since the comments are automatically copied to the derived object.
* Removed copy and pasted Doxygen comments from objects derived from
EDA_ITEM.
* 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.
* Use C++ map in component library instead of boost::ptr_vector.
* Drop Boost pointer containers for standard C++ containers.
* Moved duplicate name user interface elements from library object to
library editor.
* Added code to support direct addition and replacement of component
alias objects into libraries.
* Removed temporary strings used to add and remove alias objects.
* Libraries only store alias objects, components now accessed thru alias.
* Simplify library API for adding, removing, and replacing components.
* Updated edit component in library dialog and library editor to reflect
component library object changes.
* Fixed bug in library viewer when displaying alias name.
* Made a few header files compile stand alone per the new coding policy.
* Remove some dead code and the usual code formatting fixes.
