[Kicad-developers] s-exp file read/write refactoring

Hi, I've been having a look through some of the file I/O code in pcbnew, and I'm not really comfortable with it. Despite the nice new structured s-exp format, we're still printing data out by hand and parsing it back in similarly - rather a recipe for trouble, and at least for inconsistent

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Clean up clang warnings

I built using clang to see if that compiler would pick up any useful warnings that gcc isn't. A few were, so I fixed them. You might not want to apply this patch directly - it also fixes a few things that aren't really problems, not sure if you'd rather leave them than hush up the compiler.

In GAL, an assertion (drawing_tool.cpp:925) will fail if you begin drawing an arc, and then accidentally terminate the arc at zero angle with the cursor /outside/ the arc radius. It seems that an attempt was made to check for this but the conditional wasn't written quite right. Here's a patch

Not GPL-compatible because the restriction would apply to anyone making a derivative of KiCad as well. The only way I can see to do this is a clean-room reverse engineering, which does not appear to be feasible. On Sep 10, 2015 12:48 PM, "Mark Roszko" wrote: > Nope, you

Re: [Kicad-developers] Call for help, no programming experience required.

It's a right shame we don't have any standalone project archive format that holds *everything*. That would be *very* useful for this sort of thing, as well as just generally making sure projects can always be opened. I wonder if there is any developer interest in that besides me. It's definitely

Hmm? No, just store it by part number. You can always use a different means (searching through the KiCad lib?) to find a number first. On Sep 22, 2015 7:29 PM, "Andy Peters" <de...@latke.net> wrote: > > > On Sep 22, 2015, at 2:14 PM, Chris Pavlina <pavlina.ch...@gmai

Good lord. You know you can just store datasheets in a directory on your file system, right? The same way people have stored things on computers for decades. Your computer /already has this functionality/. On Tue, Sep 22, 2015 at 11:08:45PM +0200, timofonic timofonic wrote: > On Sep 22, 2015

Re: [Kicad-developers] [rfc patch] replace avhttp with libcurl

With all due respect this is /dumb/. You want our software to go downloading things without verifying their origin? Do you /really/ trust the quality of our code to the point where you're going to risk it being a vector for things like arbitrary executions on our watch? It's not 1995

Why add something specific to GOST? Make it generic if you must, a plot visibility flag per type of field. Maybe someone wants footprints to only be visible on-screen. On Sat, Dec 05, 2015 at 04:27:29PM +0300, Eldar Khayrullin wrote: > Hi. > For Russian documentation of constructor need to

[Kicad-developers] eeschema field placement feature branch question

This is mostly directed at Wayne, since he's working on eeschema. I have a feature branch I worked on over the summer (back when the release was thought to be closer, and the eeschema rework farther) that implements a field (reference/value) autoplacement on symbols in eeschema. It moves and
