This means that automatically added H/V constraints now will never
cause the sketch to become overconstrained, which currently makes
that feature almost unusable.
This commit mostly just changes the settings code to be in line with
the rest of the platform abstractions, although it also fixes some
settings names to be consistent with others, and uses native bool
types where applicable.
This commit also makes settings-related operations much less
wasteful, not that it should matter.
This commit removes a large amount of redundant code that needed
to be kept in sync between platforms and also makes it much easier
to add new menu-related functionality since little to no platform
code needs to be altered anymore.
This commit also greatly improves code locality in context menu
handling by allowing context menu click handlers to be closures.
This commit temporarily introduces a SetMainMenu API, which is rather
hacky but only necessary until an abstraction for windows is added.
According to the C standard all preprocessor definitions starting
with an underscore are reserved for standard and implementation use,
so don't use those. Also, sort and unique include directives.
Before this commit, if the source group of a step rotate/translate
group is forced to triangle mesh, the UI would show that the step
rotate/translate group is also forced to triangle mesh, but the group
would in fact contain NURBS surfaces.
This commit updates a *lot* of rather questionable path handling
logic to be robust. Specifically:
* All path operations go through Platform::Path.
* All ad-hoc path handling functions are removed, together with
PATH_SEP. This removes code that was in platform-independent
parts, but had platform-dependent behavior.
* Group::linkFileRel is removed; only an absolute path is stored
in Group::linkFile. However, only Group::linkFileRel is saved,
with the relative path calculated on the fly, from the filename
passed into SaveToFile. This eliminates dependence on global
state, and makes it unnecessary to have separare code paths
for saved and not yet saved files.
* In a departure from previous practice, functions with
platform-independent code but platform-dependent behavior
are all grouped under platform/. This makes it easy to grep
for functions with platform-dependent behavior.
* Similarly, new (GUI-independent) code for all platforms is added
in the same platform.cpp file, guarded with #ifs. It turns out
that implementations for different platforms had a lot of shared
code that tended to go out of sync.
Before this commit, lathe groups had three DOFs, which of course
could not actually move. After this commit, lathe groups have
zero DOFs, as expected.
This bug was introduced in commit 6dced80.
Commit f5485cb and its ancestors add a parameter to some constraints.
This parameter must be materialized and assigned a non-zero value via
ModifyToSatisfy for the solver library to not make unnecessary
changes to the sketch during the initial generation. For this, we
represent it explicitly instead of using hc.param(0), such that
the materialized constraint does not conflict with any user-defined
ones.
Before this commit, it was possible to add some redundant constraints
(e.g. vertical, horizontal or midpoint) without failing the sketch,
because SolveBySubstitution() removed the redundant equations.
However, this could result in the solve failing later because
the system didn't converge, without any pointers as to the true
cause of the failure.
Before this commit, parallel constraints in 3d are fragile:
constraints that are geometrically fine can end up singular anyway
because VectorsParallel() pivots wrong but converges anyway.
After this commit, much like in cc07058, the constraints are written
in a different form: instead of trying to remove two degrees of
freedom out of three, all three are removed, and one added; namely,
the constraint introduces a free parameter, signed length ratio.
Before this commit, pt-on-line constraints are buggy. To reproduce,
extrude a circle, then add a datum point and constrain it to the
axis of the circle, then move it. The cylinder will collapse.

Indeed, this commit implements the latter solution: it introduces
an additional free parameter. The point being coincident with
the start of the line corresponds to the parameter being zero, and
point being coincident with the end corresponds to one).
In effect, instead of constraining two of three degrees of freedom
(for which the equations do not exist because of the hairy ball
theorem), it constrains three and adds one more.
These points can be used for constraining the width of the text
(or to the width of the text).
The main parts of the commit are:
* TtfFont is restructured to be able to return the aspect ratio
for a given string.
* This aspect ratio is written to the savefile, such that even if
the font is missing, the sketch would still be solved correctly.
* The two additional points are constrained via perpendicularly
to the two main points (which form a v vector).
The compatibility features are as follows:
* When the font is missing in old files, 1:1 aspect ratio is used,
which works for the replacement symbol anyhow.
* When the two additional points are missing in old files, their
would-be positions are calculated and they are moved there,
avoiding 'jumping' of underconstrained sketches.
This significantly improves performance e.g. in case of a sketch
containing a multitude of wooden panels, as the meshes can be
merely transformed instead of being joined.
The states are:
* Draw all lines (on top of shaded mesh).
* Draw occluded (by shaded mesh) lines as stippled.
* Do not draw occluded (by shaded mesh) lines.
As usual, the export output follows the screen output.
SurfaceRenderer is a new renderer implementing the Canvas interface
running entirely on the CPU; it projects strokes and triangles
in the exact same way as OpenGL would, and it can be used for
rendering into raster or vector 2d surfaces.
This has the following benefits:
* Less geometry to generate; we can do both in one pass;
* Less geometry to draw;
* Eliminate overdraw of outlines on top of emphasized edges;
* In future, being able to seamlessly stitch stippled lines.
The contour edges are now also drawn before emphasized edges;
this makes intersections of contour and emphasized edges look better
as the thinner emphasized edge doesn't clobber the depth buffer.
This has several desirable consequences:
* It is now possible to port SolveSpace to a later version of
OpenGL, such as OpenGLES 2, so that it runs on platforms that
only have that OpenGL version;
* The majority of geometry is now rendered without references to
the camera in C++ code, so a renderer can now submit it to
the video card once and re-rasterize with a different projection
matrix every time the projection is changed, avoiding expensive
reuploads;
* The DOGD (draw or get distance) interface is now
a straightforward Canvas implementation;
* There are no more direct references to SS.GW.(projection)
in sketch rendering code, which allows rendering to multiple
viewports;
* There are no more unnecessary framebuffer flips on CPU on Cocoa
and GTK;
* The platform-dependent GL code is now confined to rendergl1.cpp.
* The Microsoft and Apple headers required by it that are prone to
identifier conflicts are no longer included globally;
* The rendergl1.cpp implementation can now be omitted from
compilation to run SolveSpace headless or with a different
OpenGL version.
Note these implementation details of Canvas:
* GetCamera currently always returns a reference to the field
`Camera camera;`. This is so that a future renderer that caches
geometry in the video memory can define it as asserting, which
would provide assurance against code that could accidentally
put something projection-dependent in the cache;
* Line and triangle rendering is specified through a level of
indirection, hStroke and hFill. This is so that a future renderer
that batches geometry could cheaply group identical styles.
* DrawPixmap and DrawVectorText accept a (o,u,v) and not a matrix.
This is so that a future renderer into an output format that
uses 2d transforms (e.g. SVG) could easily derive those.
Some additional internal changes were required to enable this:
* Pixmap is now always passed as std::shared_ptr<{const ,}Pixmap>.
This is so that the renderer could cache uploaded textures
between API calls, which requires it to capture a (weak)
reference.
* The PlatformPathEqual function was properly extracted into
platform-specific code. This is so that the <windows.h> header
could be included only where needed (in platform/w32* as well
as rendergl1.cpp).
* The SBsp{2,3}::DebugDraw functions were removed. They can be
rewritten using the Canvas API if they are ever needed.
While no visual changes were originally intended, some minor fixes
happened anyway:
* The "emphasis" yellow line from top-left corner is now correctly
rendered much wider.
* The marquee rectangle is now pixel grid aligned.
* The hidden entities now do not clobber the depth buffer, removing
some minor artifacts.
* The workplane "tab" now scales with the font used to render
the workplane name.
* The workplane name font is now taken from the normals style.
* Workplane and constraint line stipple is insignificantly
different. This is so that it can reuse the existing stipple
codepaths; rendering of workplanes and constraints predates
those.
Some debug functionality was added:
* In graphics window, an fps counter that becomes red when
rendering under 60fps is drawn.
Specifically, this enables -Wswitch=error on GCC/Clang and its MSVC
equivalent; the exact way it is handled varies slightly, but what
they all have in common is that in a switch statement over an
enumeration, any enumerand that is not explicitly (via case:) or
implicitly (via default:) handled in the switch triggers an error.
Moreover, we also change the switch statements in three ways:
* Switch statements that ought to be extended every time a new
enumerand is added (e.g. Entity::DrawOrGetDistance(), are changed
to explicitly list every single enumerand, and not have a
default: branch.
Note that the assertions are kept because it is legal for
a enumeration to have a value unlike any of its defined
enumerands, and we can e.g. read garbage from a file, or
an uninitialized variable. This requires some rearranging if
a default: branch is undesired.
* Switch statements that ought to only ever see a few select
enumerands, are changed to always assert in the default: branch.
* Switch statements that do something meaningful for a few
enumerands, and ignore everything else, are changed to do nothing
in a default: branch, under the assumption that changing them
every time an enumerand is added or removed would just result
in noise and catch no bugs.
This commit also removes the {Request,Entity,Constraint}::UNKNOWN and
Entity::DATUM_POINT enumerands, as those were just fancy names for
zeroes. They mess up switch exhaustiveness checks and most of the time
were not the best way to implement what they did anyway.
Specifically, take the old code that looks like this:
class Foo {
enum { X = 1, Y = 2 };
int kind;
}
... foo.kind = Foo::X; ...
and convert it to this:
class Foo {
enum class Kind : uint32_t { X = 1, Y = 2 };
Kind kind;
}
... foo.kind = Foo::Kind::X;
(In some cases the enumeration would not be in the class namespace,
such as when it is generally useful.)
The benefits are as follows:
* The type of the field gives a clear indication of intent, both
to humans and tools (such as binding generators).
* The compiler is able to automatically warn when a switch is not
exhaustive; but this is currently suppressed by the
default: ssassert(false, ...)
idiom.
* Integers and plain enums are weakly type checked: they implicitly
convert into each other. This can hide bugs where type conversion
is performed but not intended. Enum classes are strongly type
checked.
* Plain enums pollute parent namespaces; enum classes do not.
Almost every defined enum we have already has a kind of ad-hoc
namespacing via `NAMESPACE_`, which is now explicit.
* Plain enums do not have a well-defined ABI size, which is
important for bindings. Enum classes can have it, if specified.
We specify the base type for all enums as uint32_t, which is
a safe choice and allows us to not change the numeric values
of any variants.
This commit introduces absolutely no functional change to the code,
just renaming and change of types. It handles almost all cases,
except GraphicsWindow::pending.operation, which needs minor
functional change.
This will allow us in future to accept `const T &` anywhere it's
necessary to reduce the amount of copying.
This commit is quite conservative: it does not attempt very hard to
refactor code that performs incidental mutation. In particular
dogd and caches are not marked with the `mutable` keyword.
dogd will be eliminated later, opening up more opportunities to
add const qualifiers.
This commit also doesn't introduce any uses of the newly added const
qualifers. This will be done later.
This includes explanation and context for non-obvious cases and
shortens debug cycles when just-in-time debugging is not available
(like on Linux) by immediately printing description of the assert
as well as symbolized backtrace.
This is good practice and helps to catch bugs. Several changes
were made to accomodate the newly enabled warnings:
* -Wunused-function:
* in exposed/, static functions that were supposed to be inlined
were explicitly marked as inline;
* some actually unused functions were removed;
* -Wsign-compare: explicit conversions were added, and in
the future we should find a nicer way than aux* fields;
* -Wmissing-field-initializers: added initializers;
* -Wreorder: reordered properly;
* -Wunused-but-set-variable: remove variable.
-Wunused-parameter was turned off as enabling it would result in
massive amount of churn in UI code. Despite that, we should enable
it at some point as it has a fairly high SNR otherwise.
