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 helps to ensure that a base class that changes underneath us
would not leave any overridden functions hanging.
This already highlighted some questionable use of GTKMM's API,
which were also fixed in this commit.
This is a high-SNR warning that's enabled by default on MSVC and
it has highlighted some bugs in glhelper.cpp (that are also fixed
in this commit).
Unfortunately GCC does not have an equivalent for that warning,
and -Wconversion is very noisy.
MSVC 2013 keeps having aggravating bugs where its unique_ptr
implementation wants to use deleted functions.
In this case the worst that could happen is one copy per entity
once during initialization (which should in principle be elided
anyway because a return value is a prvalue... no idea if MSVC does
actually do that).
This commit integrates the vector font in the resource system, so
that cross-compilation would be easier and a custom font could be
used without recompilation.
The font handling code was carefully written to lazily load glyphs;
as possible; in practice this means that startup is less than 15ms
slower after this commit, most of it spent in inflate().
This also reduces executable size and makes compilation of
glhelper.cpp much faster.
This commit integrates the bitmap font in the resource system, so
that cross-compilation would be easier.
The font handling code was carefully written to do glyph parsing
lazily; in practice this means that after this commit, startup
is less than 25ms slower, most of it spent in inflate().
This should also result in faster rendering, since there is no
rampant plane switching anymore; instead, all characters that are
actually used are stashed into same one texture.
This commit integrates icons in the resource system so that they
can be loaded (or reloaded, without restarting) in @2x mode, which
will be added in a future commit. png2c is no longer necessary.
png2c used to perform the following transformation:
if(r + g + b < 11) r = g = b = 11;
This is now achieved by switching the icons to RGBA mode and adding
alpha channel with the following imagemagick invocation, which is
equivalent to the transformation above:
for i in *.png; do
convert -fuzz 4% -channel rgba -matte \
-fill "rgba(255,255,255,0)" -opaque black \
$i $i
done
The Debian package solvespace now includes /usr/share/solvespace;
this should be split out into solvespace-data later.
Without resources, it makes no sense anymore to keep these in
separate subdirectories: unixutil* is shared between Cocoa
and GTK ports, and gloffscreen* should be shared between all ports
(but it's still platform-specific).
Currently, icons, fonts, etc are converted to C structures at compile
time and are hardcoded to the binary. This presents several problems:
* Cross-compilation is complicated. Right now, it is necessary
to be able to run executables for the target platform; this
happens to work with wine-binfmt installed, but is rather ugly.
* Icons can only have one resolution. On OS X, modern software is
expected to take advantage of high-DPI ("Retina") screens and
use so-called @2x assets when ran in high-DPI mode.
* Localization is complicated. Win32 and OS X provide built-in
support for loading the resource appropriate for the user's
locale.
* Embedding strings can only be done as raw strings, using C++'s
R"(...)" literals. This precludes embedding sizable strings,
e.g. JavaScript libraries as used in Three.js export, and makes
git history less useful. Not embedding the libraries means we
have to rely on external CDNs, which requires an Internet
connection and adds a glaring point of failure.
* Linux distribution guidelines are violated. All architecture-
independent data, especially large data such as fonts, is
expected to be in /usr/share, not in the binary.
* Customization is impossible without recompilation. Minor
modifications like adding a few missing vector font characters
or adjusting localization require a complete development
environment, which is unreasonable to expect from users of
a mechanical CAD.
As such, this commit adds a resource system that bundles (and
sometimes builds) resources with the executable. Where they go is
platform-dependent:
* on Win32: into resources of the executable, which allows us to
keep distributing one file;
* on OS X: into the app bundle;
* on other *nix: into /usr/share/solvespace/ or ../res/ (relative
to the executable path), the latter allowing us to run freshly
built executables without installation.
It also subsides the platform-specific resources that are in src/.
The resource system is not yet used for anything; this will be added
in later commits.
A previous attempt to fix this was done in 0128b8679. However, it was
not rigorous. The added offset was dependent on font size and it
introduced an error into edit control positioning. Further, it is
irrelevant to non-workplanes.
After this commit, the workplane drawing code adds a fixed offset
instead. Also, the "tab" is enlarged to not overlap with #XY etc.
Without this, if we have e.g.:
* a/x.slvs
* a/y.slvs importing a/x.slvs
and copy a/ to b/, then loading b/y.slvs would load a/x.slvs, which
is rather surprising.
Before this commit, e.g. a 120° angle could be exported as its
supplementary 60° angle but it would still say 120° in the label.
After this commit, the right angle is selected in DXF-based software.
Similarly, it roundtrips through SolveSpace correctly.
This hint is not recommended for direct use by applications, and for
a good reason: it's very annoying. Moreover, what we want is not
"keep above" but rather "keep on the same layer as graphics window",
which is already achieved by setting window type to "utility"
on GNOME and Unity WMs, and by setting the transient window hint
for the text window on KDE WM.
This screws up window managers like fvwm, which don't respect
the ICCCM "Keep Above" flag. I don't remember why it's there and
it doesn't appear that removing it has any ill effect.
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.
