* cMake: Add base support for LibPack3
Minor changes to FreeCAD source code to support compiling with Qt 6.5 on MSVC,
and changes to cMake setup to support the new Libpack.
* NETGENPlugin: Fix compilation with MSVC and OCCT 7.8
* Material: Switch to Wrapped_ParseTupleAndKeywords for /fpermissive- on MSVC
* Base: Prevent accidental definition of MIN and MAX by MSVC
* cMake: Prevent accidentally finding an old LibPack
* Material: Wrap another ParseTuple call
* OCCT: Modify includes for 7.8.x
* Part: Change TNP code to use Wrapped_ParseTupleAndArgs
* Spreadsheet: Workaround for MSVC macro pollution
* Mesh: Workaround for MSVC macro pollution
* Base: Remove extra MSVC flag (moved to CMake)
* Tests: Fix compiling with /permissive-
* FEM: Fix Qt warnings about duplicate element names
* cMake: Ensure major version numbers are set
* Address review comments.
* cMake: Further tweaks for LibPack3
* cMake: Modify specification of compiler flags for MSVC
* Main: Remove QtQuick testing code
* cmake: Find Boost before SMESH (which uses it)
* Fixes for LibPack2
* cMake: Another try at importinhg VTK cleanly
Since Py3.11 the methods names __setstate__ and __getstate__ conflict with the method names added to the object class.
Thus rename them to 'loads' and 'dumps'
=======================================
Refactor:
- Substitute the use of variadic templates with parameter packs.
- Use recently incorporated external library "fmt" to handle printf like formating.
- Extensive cleaning of pragmas and unnecessary forward declarations.
- Parameter packs and libfmt provide a much stronger type checking now, so
conversions that are by standard implicit as bool to int need an explicit static_cast
to avoid compilation warnings.
Extension:
- Include a notifier field, so that the originator of the message can be provided. E.g. Document#DocumentObject
- Include a new type of message called CriticalMessage, this message is intended to have
special behaviour in the future. Namely, it will be used to notify forward compatilibity issues.
It will be used to substitute the current signal/slot mechanism.
- Include two new types of messages for user notifications (Notification and TranslatedNotification). This messages
will be use to convey UI notifications intended for the user (such as non-intrusive message about the usage of a tool). There
are two versions to mark whether the string provided as a message is already translated or not. When using the console system for
notifications, these notifications may originate from the App or the Gui. In the former, it is generally the case that the strings
of messages are not (yet) translated (but they can be marked with QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP). In the latter, often the messages to be provided
are already translated.
Python support for CriticalMessage, Notification and TranslatedNofification, including shortcuts:
Crt = FreeCAD.Console.PrintCritical
Ntf = FreeCAD.Console.PrintNotification
Tnf = FreeCAD.Console.PrintTranslatedNotification
