Any thoughts on patching wxWidgets for other platforms?

I accidentally dropped the dev list off the last few replies. They
included an update which fixed the issue Seth hypothesised.
But I’m updating it one more time because, well, I made it faster again.
There are two patches this time: the updated Kicad patch which knocks
yet another 1/4 second off both first- and subsequent-times, and a
wxWidgets patch which when combined with the Kicad patch brings the
subsequent-time to near-instantaneous.
Since we maintain our own Mac wxWidgets there’s no reason not to get
the full benefit there. I’ll leave it up to others to decide whether
to include the wxWidgets patch for other platforms.
(Note: while the two patches are dependent on each other /for the
final /performance gain, they are /not/ dependent on each other for
compiling/linking/running.)
Cheers,
Jeff.

I think I must be having a thick moment, because I’m still not
following you.
If I create a new library in the Footprint Editor and save it to a
new location, then those components won’t be immediately available in
Place Footprint until the library location is added to the Footprint
Library Table, right?
Or am I completely missing something?
Cheers,
Jeff.

Hi Wayne,
Do you mean if I use a text editor to modify a module file while
KiCad is running, will KiCad notice and reload it? The answer is
yes. The checksum is generated as a hash of the disk directory
last-modified dates; the lib-table only tells it what the current
libraries are.
A text editor is one use case but the footprint library editor can
also save an entire library file without going through the
fp-lib-table so it's important that we don't break this behavior. I
may have missed this as I am sitting in Montreal airport after
missing my connection with no sleep, a nasty case of jet lag, and an
inbox that is sprialing out of control so I may have just overlooked it.
Nice talk at FOSDEM, by the way. Do we all get t-shirts? ;)
Maybe one of these days I'll get around to some KiCad apparel of
some type to give out to the dev team. Although I don't think you
should depend on my lack of graphics skills to design anything. :)
Cheers,
Wayne
Cheers,
Jeff.
PS: updated patch attached to fix the issue Seth discovered
(hypothesised?).

What happens when footprint library file is modified outside the
fp-lib-table? At one point you could change the footprint library
file without performing the file write through the fp-lib-table
and the next time you accessed the library, it would recognize the
file was modified and reload the cache. Please make sure this
behavior is not broken.

wxWidgets should return Now() which will make the checksums not
match and trigger a reload.
Of course what actually happens is that wxWidgets asserts. ;)
New patch on the way….
Cheers,
Jeff.

Jeff-
Will removing a footprint library trigger a refresh? Or will
that mess up the checksum calculation?

This one for Place Footprint (specifically the List All dialog
found therein).
On my machine it knocks the first-use time from 4s to 3s and the
subsequent-use time from 2.5s to 1s.
Cheers,
Jeff.
