Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
CHANGED abandon the unpredictable behaviour of the Simulation Command
dialog. You now separately add simulation tabs (which have invariant
command types once created), and the dialog edits the current tab.
Also a bunch of bug fixes to make multiple simulation plots actually
work.
You must first check the checkbox in the Simulation Command dialog,
after which the signals will appear in the User Defined Signals
autocomplete lists.
Due to pegtl.hpp included in some files, reordering include fix some conflicts:
wxWidgets files must be included before pegtl.hpp, to compile with wxWidgets 3.0
I sometimes use wxWidgets 3.0 for debugging purposes.
Don't serialize parameters in certain models for default values. Infer
models from Value field for some kinds of models. Resolve synonyms when
loading models from Spice libraries.
Implemented serialization and deserialization of models in symbol fields
through the SIM_VALUE class. We don't carry the Spice legacy of
case-insensitive suffixes, instead we conform to the SI standard (i.e. M
is Mega, not milli, P is peta, p is pico).
Parameter grid value validation is implemented by simply not allowing
any characters that will make the value invalid (instead of highlighting
the field in a red color). This will likely be changed at some point in
the future.
This commit adds parameter display functionality, via a wxPropertyGrid
widget, to the Sim Model Editor. To faciliate that, a SIM_VALUE class is
created to serialize, deserialize, and validate numeric values in the
new parameter grid.
SPICE_MODEL is renamed to SIM_MODEL and split into several subclasses
that correspond to different model kinds.
With that also begin reworking the internal structure of the simulation
model storage. Some models have parameter information extracted from
Ngspice, which was specially patched to faciliate that. The model is
stored and managed by the SPICE_MODEL class (later will be renamed to
SIM_MODEL).
SIMULATOR has now an Attach() method, which should be called
with proper SIMULATION_MODEL that should be simulated, before calling Run()
Concrete class of SIMULATION_MODEL for ngspice is NGSPICE_CIRCUIT_MODEL,
renamed from NETLIST_EXPORTER_PSPICE_SIM. DIALOG_SIM_SETTINGS relies
on above mentioned object, so it was added as an argument of the constructor.
ngspice updated their function signatures, requiring us to test. They
also don't provide an indicator that the signature is changed, so we
need to test based on the existence of a new version define.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8358
ngSpice frequently ends up a simulation with an error:
"Error: ngspice.dll cannot recover and awaits to be detached"
The only way forward is to reload the shared library and
reinitialize ngSpice.
