Possibility to build OCCT using Visual Studio 2008 (VC9) is restored.
For that:
- template functions and classes from namespace std or tr1 (for VC9) are imported to namespace opencascade which is then used instead of std in relevant places
- templates not provided by compiler (VC9) but required for OCCT are defined in this namespace (in Standard_Handle.hxx)
- methods implementing move semantics are excluded for VC9 compiler (which does not support && syntax)
- support of vc9 compiler is restored in build procedures and environment scripts
- check of type of the current class in macros DEFINE_STANDARD_RTTI* is refactored
VS 2008 is restored in the list of supported platforms on Overview / System Requirements.
'BUILD_Inspector' CMake option switches ON/OFF Inspector in compilation procedure (add additional dependency to Qt third party product)
'inspector.bat' starts sample to demonstrate possibilities of this tool.
Replacing TOOLS to INSPECTOR key for 'pload' command in DRAW cases due to this change in DrawPlugin.
New helper script svgdiff.bat is added in adm folder.
It can be used for enabling visual diff for SVG images in TortouseGit; see Git guide for details.
When updating files msvc.bat and draw.bat/sh in the root folder by copying template from adm/templates, procedure genproj will give a warning (unless the files are already the same); if the target file is newer, its copy is saved with additional extension .bak.
STL Reader and Writer tools have been refactored to improve performance and usability:
- Basic reading of STL file is separated to abstract class RWStl_Reader which is not bound to particular data structures; the target data model can be bound via inheritance.
- RWStl package uses class Poly_Triangulation to represent triangular mesh.
- Obsolete data structures and tools (packages StlMesh and StlTransfer) are removed.
Image_VideoRecorder - added new class for video recording using FFmpeg framework.
Draw Harness command vanimation has been extended with new options for video recording.
New optional dependency has been introduced - CSF_FFmpeg.
The following implementation has been made:
- CMake procedure is extended to compile Qt tools. This is optional and is handled by USE_QT_TOOLS option(OFF by default)
- It is possible to build Qt tools using Qt5 or Qt4, it is settled with USE_QT4 option.
- Sample of DFBrowser tool is available in samples/tools/TInspectorEXE. It is build with tools, executable is placed in binaries. To start the sample, use dfbrowser.bat command.
- DFBrowser tool may be started from DRAW
Template for LaTeX header used in generation of PDF manuals is corrected to avoid multiple errors during processing by LaTeX (which can eventually lead to LaTeX aborting if their count exceeds 100).
Names of log files generated by gendoc command are made dependent on target format and (for PDF output) document name.
Formatting bug is fixed in DRAW User Guide
Modify mfc and qt samples for supporting VS 2017.
Create general vcxproj files for all mfc samples.
Correction msvc.bat and msvc_D3D.bat in CSharp sample
Added support of Visual Studio 2017 (15) in CMake build procedure.
CMake 3.7.2 or above is required to generate projects for VS 2017.
Since version of compiler and toolset remained at 14 (now they are 14.1), and they use the same run-time, the same third-party products as for VS 2015 (14) can be used.
Also the name of the folder for installation of OCCT binaries in OCCT-standard layout (default on Windows) remains "vc14".
Support of Visual Studio 2017 is added in genproj generator and relevant environment, with format specifier "vc141".
The syntax of the genproj command is revised:
- UWP is considered as separate platform ("uwp" alternative to "wnt"), not part of IDE specification
- Option "IDE" is renamed to "Format"
- Obsolete name of local variable "aWokStation" is replaced by equivalent "theFormat"
In environment scripts, additional variables are defined (derived from VCVER, see adm/vcver.bat):
- VCLIB defines name of the subdirectory specific to VS version; it is the same as VCVER except that for VCVER=vc141 VCLIB=vc14 and for VCVER=141-uwp VCLIB=vc14-uwp
- VCFMT is VCVER without optional suffix "-uwp"
- VCPROP is "NativeDesktop" for normal builds or "Universal" for UWP builds
Command genconf is amended to:
- Detect presence of VS 2017 (separately for desktop and UWP)
- Use only two first digits after "vc" in format specification for search of third-party libs
- Have more space in user interface for VS specification
All supported variants of VCVER variable are documented in dev guides / buiding / msvc
0. Basic tools for defining classes representing alerts (errors, warnings etc.) and collecting them during execution of algorithms are added in Message package.
1. Refactoring of the Error/Warning reporting system of the algorithms in Boolean Component.
To dump the description of the Error/Warning status of the algorithm the DumpErrors/DumpWarnings method should be called.
Also, the methods GerErrorMsg(int Error) and GetWarningMsg(int Warning) have been implemented to get the description for the given Error/Warning.
All Error/Warning statuses are now listed in the enumeration ErrorStatusEnum/WarningStatusEnum of the algorithm.
It is also possible to get the shapes for which the warning has been set by using the method GetWarningShapes().
2. The new class BOPAlgo_Options has been created to unify the options of the BOPAlgo_* and BRepAlgoAPI* algorithms.
3. The new checks across the algorithms have been added to detect and report errors and warnings.
4. Test cases
boolean bopcut_complex B9 E1 E5 E8
boolean bopfuse_complex B4 B5 C9 D1 D4 D5 D6 D7
have been rewritten to use Cells Builder algorithm instead of Boolean Operations algorithm, because latter always returns error "Unsupported Boolean operation" for these cases.
5. New chapter has been added in the user guide for Boolean Operations - Error / Warning reporting system.
6. Added comment to NCollection_List::Remove(Iterator&)
Use of Cotire tool is introduced for acceleration of CMake builds, by usage of precompiled headers.
CMake option BUILD_USE_PCH is added to enable / disable use of precompiled headers
When precompiled headers are used, additional compiler macros are defined globally in the build system to avoid problems due to different order of included files:
- NOMINMAX is defined on Windows to prevent defining "min" and "max" as macros by windows.h
- STRSAFE_NO_DEPRECATE and _SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS are defined on Windows to prevent declaring functions of standard C library as deprecated by #pragma, and other warnings in system headers
- GL_GLEXT_LEGACY and GLX_GLEXT_LEGACY are defined to ensure that only OCCT's own glext.h is used
- __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS is defined to have standard C print format macros always defined
Code is corrected to avoid conflicts with system headers and in case of compiling together as unity builds (partially):
- Some locally defined variables in TKV3d, TKHLR are renamed to be unique
- Duplicated definitions of macros and global functions are eliminated in TKSTEP
- Useless header WNT_UInt.hxx is removed
- Usage of local variables conflicting with X11 macro is avoided in Draw_Viewer.cxx
- Local variables in AIS_ConcentricRelation.cxx are renamed to avoid conflict with macros defined in windows.h
- HXX files containing code are renamed to PXX or merged with corresponding CXX files.
IVtkTools classes are corrected to avoid compiler warnings disabled in non-PCH builds by inclusion of VTK headers.
Useless pragmas disabling warnings on MSVC are removed
The parameter defining image width has been added to all figures to improve their layout in PDF documents and tweaked depending on the nature of each image.
Additionally, some minor changes improving image and text layout have been introduced.
Remove temporary added possibility for setting image width automatically for generation of pdf documentation.
Updated destination directory for generated by gendoc proc pdf files.
Added additional option "-update_images_size" for gendoc procedure to update width of images in *.md files during pdf generation for @figure alias.
Documentation was updated to use alias @figure instead of outdated @image
Added support of svg image format in procedure OCCDoc_UpdateImagesSize.
Added generation of overview for product components.
Added generation of products refman/chm for each component.
1. Bug fix in reading old persistent data using FSD_File storage driver
2. Persistence compatible with legacy format was restored for shapes
a. Implemented a storage read / write wrapper for legacy persistence
b. Added DRAW commands to read / write files in legacy format
c. Added test cases for reading / writing operations with checking number of sub-shapes and physical properties
d. Updated related sections of the development guide
Macro THIRDPARTY_PRODUCT was updated to create separate variable which contains all used 3rdparty dll/library directories (used custom.bat/sh files).
Name of Tcl/Tk libraries for search were updated.
1. The TestTopOpe* packages have been removed.
2. The commands *compare*, *issubshape* and *projponf* have been moved to BRepTest package.
3. The possibility to change the Extrema options has been added to projection algorithm (GeomAPI_ProjectPointOnSurf).
4. Documentation has been updated.
Enumeration Image_PixMap::ImgFormat, previously declared as nested
enumeration within class *Image_PixMap*,
has been moved to global namespace as Image_Format following OCCT coding rules.
The enumeration values have suffix Image_Format_ and preserve
previous name scheme for easy renaming of old values.
E.g. Image_PixMap::ImgGray become Image_Format_Gray.
Old definitions are preserved as depreacated aliases to the new ones.
CMake variable BUILD_ENABLE_FPE_SIGNAL_HANDLER was added to enable FPE signals during runtime.
Updated description of BUILD_ENABLE_FPE_SIGNAL_HANDLER_DESCR variable.
Eliminated usage of ANSI methods.
All Visual Studio projects generated by genproj or CMake use Unicode character set.
Draw Harness now handles Unicode input on Windows.
Tcl test scripts are now expected in UTF-8 encoding by default.
Added toolchain file for using built-in Android cross-compiling support in CMake 3.7
Added variable CMAKE_ANDROID_STL_TYPE for Android platform build via CMake.
Updated documentation about building of occt for UWP and Android via CMake.
Eliminated CMake warning CMP0054 for Android platform build.
Ability to generate UWP solution was added to genproj command, applied when VC version set to "vc14-uwp".
Environment variables are used to find installed Microsoft SDKs.
Visual Studio project option "Use precompiled headers" is set to "Not Using" by default.
Character set option of VS project Unicode is used instead of preprocessor definitions for UWP projects.
