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.
The commit 11f29b123 has replaced most of the uses of sprintf,
but there were still many remaining in Screen* functions, and it
was annoyingly inconsistent. Moreover, while most usage of sprintf
there was fine, it is bad hygiene to leave stack overflow prone
code around.
This removes the arbitrary 64 byte restriction (which effectively
limits us to as little as 16 Unicode characters with CJK encodings),
makes classes smaller, and is easier to use.
As a consequence of making the length of all ex-NameStr fields
unbounded, all functions that returned a buffer derived from those
were changed to return std::string. Then, functions that are
contextually similar to the ones described above were changed
to return std::string. Then, functions that now happened to mostly
take an std::string argument converted to a C string were changed
to accept std::string.
This has produced a bit of churn, but is probably for the better.
This will allow us to use non-POD classes inside these objects
in future and is otherwise functionally equivalent, as well
as more concise.
Note that there are some subtleties with handling of
brace-initialization. Specifically:
On aggregates (e.g. simple C-style structures) using an empty
brace-initializer zero-initializes the aggregate, i.e. it makes
all members zero.
On non-aggregates an empty brace-initializer calls the default
constructor. And if the constructor doesn't explicitly initialize
the members (which the auto-generated constructor doesn't) then
the members will be constructed but otherwise uninitialized.
So, what is an aggregate class? To quote the C++ standard
(C++03 8.5.1 §1):
An aggregate is an array or a class (clause 9) with no
user-declared constructors (12.1), no private or protected
non-static data members (clause 11), no base classes (clause 10),
and no virtual functions (10.3).
In SolveSpace, we only have to handle the case of base classes;
Constraint and Entity have those. Thus, they had to gain a default
constructor that does nothing but initializes the members to zero.
The main benefit is that std::swap will ensure that the type
of arguments is copy-constructible and move-constructible.
It is more concise as well.
When min and max are defined as macros, they will conflict
with STL header files included by other C++ libraries;
in this case STL will #undef any other definition.
The SolveSpace top-level directory was getting a bit cluttered, so
following the example of numerous other free-software projects, we move the
main application source into a subdirectory and adjust the build systems
accordingly.
Also, got rid of the obj/ directory in favor of creating it on the fly in
Makefile.msvc.
