Subject:[pcb-rnd] drc: new DRC dialogs, drc is safe to use now
replies: 2491 from Alain Vigne <al...@gmail.com>
Hi all,
 
I've finished the initial implementation of the new drc infra and dialogs.
A detailed description on what's new on the GUI side can be found here, 
with screenshots:
 
http://repo.hu/cgi-bin/pool.cgi?cmd=show&node=drc_new1
 
The action is the same old drc() action, with a new optional argument. It 
is safe to use it now (in svn trunk/).
 
Behind the GUI, we got a brand new drc infrastructure and some find.c 
cleaning. The new infra and the more flexible GUI is the first step of 
replacing the old DRC code with a programmable DRC^1. This won't happen 
soon, but a big step has been made now.
 
Please test the new DRC GUI.
 
Please note: I did not try to fix up the old DRC logics, the actual 
checks. Hopefully it did not change compared to 2.1.0. Please don't report 
bugs about how the actual DRC checks work (e.g. how they miss violations 
or give false alarms) - we are not going to fix up the old code, but we 
will replace it with brand new so we are not going to keep patching it.
 
(On lesstif, please use drc(simple) for now - we will have the tree widget 
implemented soon and then we'll automatically have the same listing window 
working there too.)
 
Best regards,
 
Igor2
