Some buggy *.groundnet.xml files (as KSEA currently on TS) define the
pushback hold point for some parking positions as a node on a runway.
In this case, this the pushback hold point for parking
'North_Cargo_Ramp', defined as node 5344 in
Airports/K/S/E/KSEA.groundnet.xml, which is defined twice (second error),
first as:
<node index="5344" lat="N47 27.774559" lon="W122 18.465257" isOnRunway="1" holdPointType="PushBack" />
and then as:
<node index="5344" lat="N47 27.725747" lon="W122 18.159649" isOnRunway="1" holdPointType="PushBack" />
(due to code in flightgear/src/Airports/dynamicloader.cxx, it should be
the second one that wins, which is not on a runway but on apron in the
north cargo area)
As a consequence, when this gate is selected for an AI aircraft, the
pushback route has only one node (since the pushback hold point is then
the closest point to itself supposedly on runway!), and the
corresponding FGTaxiRoute instance has an empty 'routes' member
variable, which FGTaxiRoute::next() doesn't handle gracefully
(segfault).
It may be that an additional check/change could be desirable in
FGTaxiRoute::next() in such a case (one node and obviously no route in
the FGTaxiRoute instance), however I'm not sure how Durk wants this case
to be handled, since FGTaxiRoute::next() seems to iterate on nodes.
This fixes the bug reported at:

Thanks to yanfiz and wkitty42 for the report, and to gooneybird for
inspecting the groundnet file.
This is because FGTaxiNode::ident() is generally (always?) an empty
string for FGTaxiNode instances. This concerns the:
unreferenced groundnet node: ...
warning. Also remove one tiny use of boost.
We now show paths in ‘view command line’ and set them through the
standard mechanism. Re-ordering the paths also notifies the rest of
the system correctly.
Code and tests to demonstrate migrating of older auto-save files, with
blacklisting support to exclude properties. Disabled pending agreement
on the required blacklisting values.
Some pieces of code such as fgMainInit() and, by cascading effect,
fgInitHome(), were careful to return a meaningful value indicating
success or error, however the main() function in src/Main/bootstrap.cxx
ignored it royally so far.
main() now returns:
- EXIT_FAILURE if fgMainInit() or fgviewerMain() throws an exception;
- whatever said function returns otherwise.
- Rename fatalMessageBox() to fatalMessageBoxWithoutExit(). This should
prevent the kind of bug that prompted this set of changes: someone
calling fatalMessageBox(), assuming the program would stop at that
point, whereas in reality it did not.
- Add new function fatalMessageBoxThenExit(). This is not vital of
course, but allows one to spare one line here and there and to apply
the DRY principle for such fatal exits.
- Replace every existing call to fatalMessageBox() with one or the other
of the two new functions. Improve formatting along the way. This
fixes a few bugs of the kind explained above.
This reverts commit 9e6a3ebc6b ("Make
fatalMessageBox() end with std::abort() and declare it [[noreturn]]").
After reflexion, it seems better to let fatalMessageBox() return,
because there is existing code that appears to be relying on this aspect
to do some work after having called fatalMessageBox() (cf. main() in
bootstrap.cxx). Also, the way of exiting from fatalMessageBox() after
commit 9e6a3ebc6b (std::abort()) was probably too brutal for a
controlled exit---as opposed to a terminate handler.
Basically, this is because fatalMessageBox() is only safe to call from
the GUI thread, however it seems fg_terminate() can be called from any
thread (according to C++11 semantics). Additionally, fatalMessageBox()
typically requires some work to happen in the GUI thread (event loop) in
order to display something, but we can't realistically expect this while
running a terminate handler just before the program dies.

+ Minor header cleanup (<locale.h> replaced with <clocale>, etc.)
/sim/multiplay/protocol-version is either 1 or 2 and controls how packets are sent. V2 packets will only have the (motioninfo) basic properties visible to older clients.
New string encoding that is efficient.
Support short int encoding (pack a property and value into 4 bytes).
Allow properties to be transmitted using a different encoding to the property type in the tree.
Support scaled floats; most of the floats we transmit are small and thus can fit into a scaled short.
V2 protocol uses transmit so most properties are either scaled floats or short ints.
Allow the client to request a larger visibility range by setting /sim/multiplay/visibility-range-nm. This will transmit in the repurposed header field ReplyAddress - which has been renamed to RequestedRangeNm. This will require support from fgms to actually do anything.
Extra debugging options. The most useful (for aircraft developers) is the loopback bit, as this allows model multiplay testing without running two instances.
Update property /sim/multiplay/last-xmit-packet-len with the size of the packet transmitted
Debug level bits in property /sim/multiplay/debug-level
bit 1 - loopback (show your own model as an MP model)
bit 2 - dump outgoing packets
bit 3 - dump incoming packets
bit 4 - hexdump outgoing packets

Also build the test code first, so tests can reside in source tree as
well as the test tree.
Finally, build local Sqlite with -fpic to give consistent linkage when
using either built-in or system sqlite.
If GPerfTools and/or the SYSTEM_SQLITE options are enabled, the test
suite fails to build (GPerfTools is not linked explicitly in CMakeLists.txt,
but becomes required by SimGear, so the linker failes with an "undefined
reference" error; the SQLite library the test suite links against is always
hardcoded to the FG-provided one).
This patch adds the GPerfTools library to the target link libraries
(if the profiler is enabled) and links to the system SQLite library
whenever SYSTEM_SQLITE is enabled.
