"Professional CMake" book suggest the following:
"Targets should build successfully with or without compiler support for precompiled headers. It
should be considered an optimization, not a requirement. In particular, do not explicitly include a
precompile header (e.g. stdafx.h) in the source code, let CMake force-include an automatically
generated precompile header on the compiler command line instead. This is more portable across
the major compilers and is likely to be easier to maintain. It will also avoid warnings being
generated from certain code checking tools like iwyu (include what you use)."
Therefore, removed the "#include <PreCompiled.h>" from sources, also
there is no need for the "#ifdef _PreComp_" anymore
* Added Part::Feature::getTopoShape/getShape() function that can obtain
shape from any object with proper implementation of getSubObject(). It
can even construct compound from group object with proper implementation
of getSubObjects().
* Modified ViewProviderExt to work on any object, because it now obtain
the shape using Part::Feature::getShape()
* Modified various Part features to obtain base/tool shapes using
Part::getShape(), which allows them to be any type of object,
including Link and groups.
* Modified various Part command to relax type requirement on selected
objects.
* Add support of link and group to dimension, and add dimension refresh
command
* Support link and group in simple command command, and add a few more
copy command variations.
* Add special handling of 'Shape' attribute in PropertyContainerPy and
use Part::Feature::getShape() to return shape for any object without
Shape property. This allows many python feature work with any object
without modification.
* GeometrySurface/CurvePy, add convenience attribute 'Rotation'
* TopoShapePy:
* Extended support of sub shape attribute, e.g. Compound1, Solid2,
SubShape3 ('SubShape' is used to access child shape of a compound)
* makeWires(), new API to sort and return wires given a list of edges.
* transformed/translated/rotated/scaled(), return a new shape with
some transformation.
* findPlane(), find the plane of a planar shape
* isCoplanar(), check if two shape are coplanar
Property:
* Extended property status bitset. Mirror most of PropertyType and
allow dynamic change property type.
* Cache property name and type to improve performance
* Centralize property status change signalling
* Change aboutToSetValue()/hasSetValue() to virtual
* Add new API getFullName() to obtain full quanlified name of the property
AtomicPropertyChangeInterface:
* Allow calling aboutToSetValue()/hasSetValue() when actually changed
PropertyLists:
* Refactor implementation by an abstract class PropertyListBase and a
template class PropertyListsT, to allow better code reuse.
PropertyListT is derived from AtomicPropertyChangeInterface to allow
more efficient change on individual elements.
* All list type property now accept setting python value as a dictionary
with index as key to set individual element of a list.
* Add touch list for more efficient handling of value changes. The list
contains the index of changed value. And empty touch list should be
treated as the entire list is changed. PropertyContainerPy expose this
functionality with getPropertyTouchList().
PropertyPersistentObject:
* New property to allow dynamic creation of any FreeCAD object derived
from Base::Persistence, and use it as a property.
DynamicProperty:
* Use boost multi_index_container for efficient property lookup while
keeping order.
* Modify to be allowed to use in PropertyContainer directly
PropertyContainer:
* Use boost multi_index_container for efficient property lookup while
keeping order.
* Allow adding/removing dynamic property on all property container
* Modify Save/Restore() to persist property status, and better handle
transient property which can now be dynamically enabled/disabled per
object.
* Add new API getFullName() to obtain full quanlified name of the property.
Implemented by Document, DocumentObject, and also
ViewProviderDocumentObject if future patch
DocumentObject and FeaturePython are modified to accommondate the
dynamic property changes.
Removed get/setCustomAttribute() implementation from DocumentObjectPy,
and rely on PropertyContainerPy for the implementation, because of the
additional dynamic property support in property container.
Gui::ViewProviderDocumentObject, which is derived from
PropertyContainer, is also modified accordingly
At the moment many feature classes lack of the mustExecute() method and thus can cause a touched feature not to be recomputed and causes the feature to be in a broken state.
Now this new enum value virtually makes the mustExecute() superfluous and thus guarantees to recompute a feature if a modified property has not set the Prop_NoRecompute flag.
On the other hand there are properties that should only touch a feature but not enforce a recompute. This guarantees a better performance and avoids unnecessary recomputes.
For example this is useful for placements where a change can be applied on-the-fly and the feature is up-to-date. Other features that depend on the touched feature will still be recomputed.
It turned our that the document could not be dumped as the xml specifier was used as first element. As the dumping added the <content> element around it was invalid. However, content is required to read properties. Hence the xml element generation was moved.
issue 0000995
diff to py3-branch will remain in the following files in src/App:
- ExtensionContainer.cpp
- FeaturePythonPyImp.h +.inl
most likely these files depend on Tools and Base
