Requires FGData commit: 0565eaab10a5d466cd485766b17d1870936a0a57
(which actually renames the file).
Also disables the preferences-load command since I don’t believe it
would actually be safe to reload the defaults without doing a simulator
reset (aircraft -set.xml values would be overwritten, for example)
1. The variables SIMGEAR_CORE_LIBRARIES and
SIMGEAR_CORE_LIBRARY_DEPENDENCIES are
no longer set... hence the need to hard-code 'SimGearCore'
in the target_link_libraries()
2. And -lfreetype means the linker must know the specific
link path to it, while the variable FREETYPE_LIBRARIES
contains the fully qualified path to the library.
3. Improved the 'found glut' message to show exactly what
was found, and being used... This is due to the user possibly
also have the near binary compatible glut32.lib found, which
will fail in the link due to some freeglut extensions have been
used.
4. Adding the define -DFREEGLUT_LIB_PRAGMAS=0 is
necessary to stop the freeglut headers from using a MSVC pragma
to declare the library, which will /not/ not be found...
5. In Windows the glew library is not -lGLEW, and even if it
was, it would not be found, without adding a link_directories(
path/to/library ),
while the GLEW_LIBRARIES variable has the fully qualified path.
Fix the sqlite3_value_text() interface so that it correctly translates content generated by zeroblob() into a string of all 0x00 characters. This is a long-standing issue discovered after the 3.16.1 release by OSS-Fuzz
Fix the bytecode generator to deal with a subquery in the FROM clause that is itself a UNION ALL where one side of the UNION ALL is a view that contains an ORDER BY. This is a long-standing issue that was discovered after the release of 3.16.1. See ticket 190c2507.
Adjust the sqlite3_column_count() API so it more often returns the same values for PRAGMA statements as it did in prior releases, to minimize disruption to applications that might be using that interface in unexpected ways.
As discussed on the devel list, only require the major+minor versions
of FG+SG+data to match by default. If we encounter a situation on
a release branch where stronger checks are needed, it’s easy to
restore.
Essentially, adapt two places where options.xml was supposed to be found
in $FG_ROOT (in one of these, the comment was already incorrect way
before the recent change moving options.xml out of FGData).
$FG_INSTALL_PREFIX represents the FlightGear installation prefix, such
as /usr, /usr/local or /opt/FlightGear on Unix systems. Copying the
--help output and translated strings there avoids having to write to
$FG_ROOT when 'make install' (or some OS-dependent equivalent) is run
from the FlightGear build directory---that would be ugly when $FG_ROOT
points to the FGData Git repository.
In FGLocale::FGLocale(), Translations/locale.xml is loaded using
readProperties() and fatalMessageBox() (in case an error is
encountered). Note that it couldn't be loaded via fgLoadProps() in the
current state, because this function relies on guiErrorMessage() when an
error is encountered, which calls mkDialog(), which itself does
globals->get_subsystem("gui"). This last call can't be done from
FGGlobals' constructor---where the 'globals' pointer is still
NULL---hence the need for a different mechanism not relying on
FGGlobals.
For consistency, and also because it provides a better user experience[1],
load options.xml using the same method instead of with fgLoadProps().
[1] I.e., in case of an error, the user gets to see a graphical popup
window with an explanatory message before FG exits, assuming he is
either on Windows, or on Mac, or has Qt support built in FG, as
opposed to only an SG_LOG() call [because when options.xml is
loaded, guiErrorMessage() used by fgLoadProps() can't use the 'gui'
subsystem].
- Add an optional argument to flightgear::initApp(): doInitQSettings.
This argument defaults to true, preserving initApp()'s behavior in
this respect. If this argument is set to false, FGGlobals doesn't have
to be initialized.
- New function flightgear::initQSettings(), called by
flightgear::initApp() when its 'doInitQSettings' argument is true.
This allows initializing the QSettings exactly when it is needed.
- New function flightgear::checkKeyboardModifiersForSettingFGRoot().
The code it contains used to be run from initApp(), which is
undesirable because:
1) initApp() is not only called at FG initialization (fgMainInit()),
but also from QtMessageBox(), from QtFileDialog::exec() and twice
from Options::setupRoot(). However, checking the Alt and Shift
modifiers to set 'fg-root' in QSettings to the special value
"!ask" only makes sense in fgMainInit(), not in these other
places.
2) This code relies on the QSettings to be set up, and therefore on
FGGlobals. Thus, freeing initApp() of its dependency on FGGlobals
requires splitting this keyboard modifiers checking code out of
initApp().
