Hi,
I reviewed your remarks and made appropriate changes but I have a few
questions.
Regarding your first remark, I had to make them non-reference because
the selection is sorted inplace which means that the original selection
will be modified which in turn make unhighlight hang/enter and infinite
loop when copying/duplicating or just unhighlighting multiple objects.
I'm not sure why exactly this is happening but it obviously has
something to do with the fact that selection is now sorted by
reference.

I did change the code according to the second and third remark though
and will send in the patches later (it's currently available on
https://github.com/Nufflee/kicad-source-mirror/tree/1335616-annotate-on-placement
if anyone wants to take a look).

Regaring the fourth remark, I'm not sure what duplicate code you are
actually referring to but I guess it would be
SCH_REFERENCE_LIST::sortByReferenceOnly and my
EE_SELECTION::SortComponentsByRef. So I have implemented a function to
compare two SCH_COMPONENTs based on their reference and I think
that's what you actually wanted.

Also, could I instead of squashing commits just squash all of them into
one big patch. This would get rid of any WIP code or TODOs. If not, I
will try my to squash them as best as I can but TODOs and placeholders
are just how I work.

I have tried to use both clang-format and uncrustify to format the code
but neither of them seem to have a proper config so it would end up
changing lots of code that actually conforms to the code style
guidelines but also code that I didn't write but is a part of files I
actually modified. I'm not sure what exactly I should do about this.
I guess I could do the formatting manually but I wonder if there's a
better automagic way to do it.


Thank you for your review.
