The program modules are either top level like an *.exe or subsidiary like a *.dll. In much of the documentation the term DSO is used to refer to the *.dll portions, that is the term used on linux. But it should be taken to mean DLL on Windows.

These are a couple of reasons why this design was chosen:

  1. By using DSOs within a single process, it is not necessary to use IPC. The DSOs can send wxEvents between themselves using wxEvtHandler interfaces in a platform independent way. There can also be function calls from one DSO to another.
  2. The use of a number of separately linked DSOs closely resembles the original KiCad program design, consisting of Eeschema and Pcbnew. But it also allows separate compilation and linking of those two DSOs without a ton of inter-DSO dependencies and common data structures. Linking smaller, purpose specific DSOs is thought to be better for maintenance simplicity than a large single link image.
  3. By keeping the core functionality in DSOs rather than EXE tops, it becomes possible to re-use the DSOs under different program tops. For example, a DSO named _pcbnew.so can be used under a C++ top or under a python top. Only one CMake target must be defined to build either. Whether that is a separate build or not is not the important thing. Simply having a single CMake target has advantages. (Each builder person will have his/her own intentions relative to use of python or not.) Once a DSO is python capable, it can be driven by any number of python program tops, including demo-ing (automation) and testing separately.
