Search for the closest ground-net node near but /not/ on, the requested
runway. This works fairly well, although for some airports the selected
node is surprisingly far from the runway.
The report now looks like:
{
"meta": {
"type": "FlightGear JSON report",
"format major version": 1,
"format minor version": 0
},
...
}
When making compatible changes to the format (e.g., adding members to
JSON objects), only the minor version number should be increased.
Increase the major version number when a change is backward-incompatible
(such as the removal, renaming or semantic change of a member). Of
course, incompatible changes (like this one) should only be considered
as a last recourse.
- New methods Options::printJSONReport() and utility method
Options::OptionsPrivate::createJSONArrayFromPathList().
- Small addition to Options::processOptions(), since the --json-report
option must be processed *after* the TerraSync and download dirs, as
well as aircraft and scenery paths, have been finally set.
Apart from providing a public method giving a path to the autosave file,
the main idea of this commit is to reduce redundancy where
globals->get_fg_home() was so far used in every place where the autosave
file is needed or saved. Use an optional argument for
FGGlobals::loadUserSettings() and FGGlobals::saveUserSettings()[1],
since it should be exceptional to access an autosave file in another
location than $FG_HOME.
Also add comments explaining how to avoid security pitfalls with
saveUserSettings() (cf. discussion around
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35461636/>).
[1] Argument *added* to this method, for consistency with
FGGlobals::loadUserSettings().
Similar to the existing FGGlobals::get/set_terrasync_dir(), add
FGGlobals::get_download_dir() and FGGlobals::set_download_dir() methods,
and of course the corresponding FGGlobals::download_dir public member
variable. FGGlobals::set_download_dir() stores the realpath() of the
given directory, including into the /sim/paths/download-dir property,
which is marked as read-only just as /sim/terrasync/scenery-dir already
is.
Handle the setup of the TerraSync and download dirs all in the same
place (Options::processOptions()), since most of the work is already
done there. This allows one to get rid of fgOptTerrasyncDir() and
fgOptDownloadDir(), and to make it easier to see that
globals->set_terrasync_dir() (resp. globals->set_download_dir()) is
called on the correct SGPath, regardless of whether --terrasync-dir
(resp. --download-dir) was passed.
Always create the TerraSync and download dirs when they don't already
exist, regardless of whether --terrasync-dir or --download-dir has been
given on the command line.
Add comments explaining how to avoid security pitfalls with download and
TerraSync dirs (cf. discussion around
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35461636/>).
Adjust indentation where it was too broken, hampering readbility.
1) Paths and the FG_SCENERY paths list are now printed like:
FG_ROOT=/home/flo/flightgear/src/fgdata
instead of:
FG_ROOT=Path "/home/flo/flightgear/src/fgdata"
Moreover, FG_SCENERY is now correctly printed (without 'Path ""'
wrapping, without Terrain, Objects and markers instead of the actual
scenery paths) regardless of the position of --version relatively to
--fg-scenery, --terrasync-dir, etc. Of course, the values given to
these options do influence the output of --version.
Simplify printing of FG_SCENERY via SGPath::join() and use the
correct, OS-dependent separator between paths, SGPath::pathListSep.
Write the --version output to stdout, as already done for --help;
then it can be easily piped to $PAGER and doesn't get mixed with the
output of SG_LOG (which is on stderr). This is of course backward
incompatible for programs reading the stderr output of
'fgfs --version', but has been agreed upon on FlightGear-devel (cf.
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35461619/>).
2) Don't write explicit values in the OptionResult enum: they don't
matter, but giving them is error-prone in case one does a copy-paste
to add a new member to the enum and forgets to change the value.
It is not needed anymore to hardcode the number of lines of
$FG_ROOT/Airports/apt.dat.gz. The new method, which relies on
SGPath::sizeInBytes() and sg_gzifstream::approxOffset(), works as well
for the other dat files.
Add a new NavCache rebuild phase, REBUILD_READING_APT_DAT_FILES, since
the process is now made of two parts.
Rename NavDataCachePrivate::getDatFilesPaths() to
NavDataCachePrivate::findDatFiles(), because it now returns a
DatFilesGroupInfo (new struct) instead of a PathList. For the same
reason, rename NavDataCachePrivate::aptDatPaths to
NavDataCachePrivate::aptDatFilesInfo. Adapt signatures, etc.
This requires up-to-date SimGear and FGData.
Expand existing —-config option to read either property-XML files (as
it previously did) but for non-XML files, to parse them as command
line argument files.
With Simgear commit d7d59b08a2f1a77a4247ec1a89d6ff48ed73f5c7, this
allows terrasync to be initialised from files in the install data,
which avoids downloading them again.
Relocate the start-up position to a plausible hold-short position
when MP is active and a runway start is requested. This does not (yet)
use ground-net data to identify a real hold-short position.
Remove uses of .str(), .c_str() and some other methods of SGPath.
Pass SGPath directly where possible, or explicitly convert to the
appropriate 8-bit encoding.
