Re: Renaming headers?

 

Quite a bit of files under the root directory that could benefit from some sorting as well :) Would be two patches then, one for renaming, and one for sorting them somehow, both kinda large.

Maybe move classes to a folder called classes?

Hi,

Soonish, I'd like to go through and rename header files to actually
match the names of the classes they define. It's a bit...unobvious that
PCB_EDIT_FRAME is in wxPcbStruct.h, for instance. Now, because this
would be a pretty large patch, I'd normally hold on until after 5.0 is
released, but I think it'd actually be best to get this in BEFORE 5.0,
because moving that many things around immediately after 5.0 would draw
a line in the history through which bugfix backports onto the 5.0 series
become difficult. The very end of the 4.0 series seems like a perfect
place. Because it's just a (large) rename, I think it has a relatively
small likelihood of actually breaking anything - either it compiles or
it doesn't, no change in functionality.

Wayne, would you be okay with this?


Chris,

I'm OK with this since it's not really a code change.  I agree that it
makes more sense to do it now rather than to wait and create major
headaches when back porting bug fixes from the v6 development branch.

Thanks,

Wayne
