* Fixes errors selecting 'nearest' items, including duplicates
* Stable behaviour around the poles and dateline
* Decently efficient, even for 'everything within 500nm' queries
The quotes form is normally only used for headers with path relative
to the including file's path, though the standard doesn't strictly
mandate this. This is consistent with the rest of sg/fg, it makes the
code's intent clearer and helps to find headers. (And it's a few
milliseconds faster, too.)
instrument of the same name. In the future I'd prefer to rename the
instrument class instead (FGMarkerBeaconReciever?) but this is the safest
change for now.
Thanks (again) to Yon Uriarte for pointing out the problem (which seems to
affect MSVC more than gcc)
saving for beacons, but since they're surprisingly few (in nav.dat), not a
an enormous saving in real terms. The major motivation is that marker beacons
don't behave like other NavRecords for radio interaction - they have no ident,
frequency or range (in the sense that NavRecord means them).
airportList search function. At least for me (with a mutex-based SGAtomic),
large vectors of referenced-pointers is a Bad Thing - copying on vector
resize is thrashing the locks.
static FGAirport helpers. As a result, another global index goes away. Use
the helpers to avoid ugly FGPositioned down-casts in various places.
Also converts the environment/METAR code to deal with FGAirport pointers,
instead of string identifiers, and contains work-in-progress code to implement
the AirportList dialog using FGPositioned. This isn't enabled yet for various
reasons, but is the final piece to allow FGAirportList to be removed.
by frequency (which makes sense), and use the FGPositioned spatial data if
required. As a result, the marker beacon list is gone (since beacons are only
searched spatially). In the process, clean up various minor things - most
notably, all the 'airport-related' navaids (ILS, GS, LOC, and the beacons) now
store a FGRunway* instead of an airport id string. This is more precise, and
saves string allocations.
const) which were previously tricky but now easy. Make it possible not to
index certain types (used for taxiways) and exclude anonymous items from
the name index. Related to this, clean up FGRunway further - remove some public
members, and fix a dumb bug of mine, where we create reciprocal entries for
taxiways.
This should make startup (slightly) quicker, and shrinks FGRunway somewhat.
- updates how filtering is done on the various FGPositioned query functions - both spatial and ident-based.
- updates the KLN-89b / DCLGPS code to use FGPositioned for all Navaid/Airport queries.
me:
Add few include directives in globals.cxx to avoid such MSVC warning messages :
deletion of pointer to incomplete type 'FGAirportList'; no destructor called
deletion of pointer to incomplete type 'FGNavList'; no destructor called
deletion of pointer to incomplete type 'FGTACANList'; no destructor called
deletion of pointer to incomplete type 'FGFixList'; no destructor called
Attached patch updates the route-manager to use FGPositioned to search
for waypoints, instead of a manual airport / fix / navaid search. This
is good because it's now using the 'strictly closest' match, rather
than arbitrarily picking a distant fix over a nearby navaid. In my
case, the TLA VOR is significant to several EGPH procedures, but also
happens to be the ident of a fix a long, long way away.
Also updates the FGPositioned class to stop using Point3D, partly
because it's deprecated and partly because I had misunderstood the
interface and was using it wrong. For now, all FGPositioned distance
checks use SGGeodesy::inverse, which is accurate but inefficient. Once
FGPositioned queries are used for something on a hot path, I'll
probably store the cartesian position as well as the geodetic, to make
these checks fast.
Convert FGNavRecord to inherit FGPositioned. This is much more self-contained than the FGRunway change, since FGNavRecord already had good encapsulation of its state. However, it's a large diff due to moving around two nasty pieces of code - the 'align navaid with extended runway centerline' logic and the 'penalise transmitters at the opposite runway end' logic.
In general things are more readable because I've replaced the Navaid type enum, and the use of Robin's integer type codes, with switches on the FGPositioned::Type code - no more trying to recall that '6' is an outer marker in Robin's data. The creation code path is also pushed down from navdb into navrecord itself.
Convert FGRunway to be heap-based, and inherit FGPositioned. This is a large, ugly change, since FGRunway was essentially a plain struct, with no accessors or abstraction. This change adds various helpers and accessors to FGRunway, but doesn't change many places to use them - that will be a follow up series of patches. It's still a large patch, but outside of FGAirport and FGRunway, mostly mechanical search-and-replace.
An interesting part of this change is that reciprocal runways now exist as independent objects, rather than being created on the fly by the search methods. This simplifies some pieces of code that search for and iterate runways. For users who only want one 'end' of a runway, the new 'isReciprocal' predicate allows them to ignore the 'other' end. Current the only user of this is the 'ground-radar' ATC feature. If we had data on which runways are truly 'single-ended', it would now be trivial to use this in the airport loader to *not* create the reciprocal.
Here's part 2 - converting FGFix (the simplest one) to be both heap-based and inherit FGPositioned. One minor benefit from this is replacing some dangerous code in FGFixList which used to return the address of an iterator member ('&it->second'). To keep the diff a sensible size, I'm not updating the callers to use the richer FGPositioned types - i.e replacing separate lat/lon handling with SGGeod. I will make those cleanups, but in future patches.
Small patch fixing bugs I've encountered while getting the current CVS to build in MSVC.
* std::lower_bound was used with the key-type of a map, but lower_bound expects the value-type of the collection it works on, with is std::pair. MSVC seems to be more strict about this.
* Added an missing include statement.
* Replaced an rint() call with floor() (MSVC does not offer rint).
This is a little intrusive on the KLN89 code, but avoids the wasteful cloning of the airports, runways and navaids which current happens, and also combines the ugly string ordering code.
- Runways are now part of an airport, instead of a separate list
- Runways are no longer represented as a boring struct, but as a class
of their own.
-Improved runway access to unify various runway access methods.
Attached patch + new file make FGNavRecord have a .cxx file, and a constructor w
hich allows all the parameters to be supplied. Along the way I also cleaned up t
he navrecord.hxx header, lots more header pollution has been killed.
Some long methods are no longer inline, but were all suspiciously long to meet c
ompiler inlining criteria (I'm not clear if the 'inline' keyword is advisory or
mandatory in this situation) - I don't expect this to affect performance in any
way whatsoever.
The constructor addition is to support some hacking I'm doing improving the star
tup performance of the navDB by lazily loading the data, and caching it in a mor
e efficient format than text. I'm submitting this change (and probably some othe
r small tweaks in the future) since they are worthwhile as cleanups regardless o
f how my current experiments work out.
* experimental clean-up / reduction on two of the FG headers:
(I'm going to await feedback on the developers list before doing more of
these, to avoiding going over files multiple times, but in principle it
seems pretty straightforward.)
* final fixes for SG_USING_STD removal
- this exposed a bizarre issue on Mac where dragging in <AGL/agl.h> in
extensions.hxx was pulling in all of Carbon to the global namespace
- very scary. As a result, I now need to explicitly include CoreFoundation
in fg_init.cxx.
- change SG_USING_STD(x) to using std::x
SimGear change. It changes all the SG_xxxx to be the 'real' includes, and gets
rid of many #ifdef SG_HAVE_STD_INCLUDES. As an added bonus, rather than
replacing 'SG_USING_NAMESPACE(std)' with 'using namespace std', I just fixed
the small number of places to use std:: explicitly. So we're no longer polluting
the global namespace with the entire contents of std, in many cases.
There is one more 'mechanical' change to come - getting rid of SG_USING_STD(X),
but I want to keep that separate from everything else. (There's another
mechnical change, replacing <math.h> with <cmath> and so on *everywhere*, but
one step at a time)
PLETE_FUNCTIONAL from SimGear and FlightGear.
As a result, SG_HAVE_STD_INCLUDES is now *always* set, so I will get the boring
fixes for that done, but separately. I'm still auditing the other things in comp
ilers.h - there's a lot that can die now BORLAND is gone.
Attached patch adds support for multiple FIXes with the same name.
Applies to both branches.
New functionality is in query_and_offset, which now returns the FIX
closest to the passed in location.
Updated route manager to take advantage of this.
Otherwise, query functions return an unspecified member from the set
of identically named FIXes. (This was previously the one occurring
last in the database file, but I don't think anybody counted on that.)

remove all those 41 hacks if possible. Metrowerks is under category
"Defunct software companies" in Wikipedia, its compiler was known to
work on PowerPC (which we don't support, anway, right?) and on some
Unices. The hacks are in CVS since the first commit 2002/9/10 (old
repository!) and probably were in the code long before that. Any
platform where such a broken compiler is still used, will hardly
be suitable to run fgfs at all.
I tried to make sure accessor functions which return by reference act
on const objects. also replaced some iterators with const_iterator
and a few return/pass by reference that were missed the first time
around.
