App::Part Material property type is currently App::PropertyMap, but to
be consistent with other domains using materials (like Arch, especially), it
should rather be App::PropertyLink, in order to link to a Material
card.
FreeCADs property system utilises some pointer math to calculate the offset between
property and base class. Due to virtual inheritance of th ePropertyContainer the memory
layout has been changed to rather random, which has lead to crashes dependend on the
order of object initialisation.
The solution is to not make PropertyContaner virtual but a class below, Base::Persitance.
Then the memory layout is random for Persistance, but it is perfectly aligned for the
base class chains from PropertyContainer onwards as well as from Extension onwards.
Hence the proeprty system was changed to take the offset always from those two.
- Rebase App::Origin on App::DocumentObject
- Keep all control over the Origin structure inside the Origin and it's
ViewProvider
- Add OriginFeature class as common base for App::Plane and App::Line
- Rebase App::Plane and App::Line on top of newly created class and
move to the file.
- Change Origin's ViewProvider API associated with temporary display
- Lots of associated changes to files
- Several minor fixes
- Lots of new bugs
