[PATCH] In-memory string io_benchmark and some docs

 

Hi,

Just a couple of tweaks to the io_benchmark, including a baseline
in-memory string-based streams, and some other dev-doc stuff that was
conflicting with the fuzzing docs.

Cheers,

John

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add an in-memory STREAM_LINE_READER benchmark

This adds an io-benchmark case of the STRING_LINE_READER
class, which reads a file into a std::string, *then*
reads it line by line.

As expected, due to it all being in memory, this is very fast.

Also fixes an issue in io_benchmark where the input file
must be in the current dir.

+# Run-time debugging #

+KiCad can be debugged at run-time, either under a full debugger
+such as GDB, or using simple methods like logging debug to the
+console.
+
+## Printing debug ##
+
+If you are compiling KiCad yourself, you can simply add debugging statements to
+relevant places in the code, for example:
+
+    wxLogDebug( "Value of variable: %d", my_int );
+
+This produces debug output that can only be seen when compiling
+in Debug mode.
+
+You can also use `std::cout` and `printf`.
+
+Ensure you do not leave this kind of debugging in place when
+submitting code.
+
+## Printing trace ##
+
+Some parts of the code have "trace" that can be enabled selectively according to
+a "mask", for example:
+
+    wxLogTrace( "TRACEMASK", "My trace, value: %d", my_int );
+
+This will not be printed by default. To show it, set the `WXTRACE` environment
+variable when you run KiCad to include the masks you wish to enable:
+
+    $ WXTRACE="TRACEKEY,OTHERKEY" kicad
+
+When printed, the debug will be prefixed with a timestamp and the trace mask:
+
+    11:22:33: Trace: (KICAD_FIND_ITEM)   item Symbol GNDPWR, #PWR020
+
+Some available masks:
+
+* Core KiCad functions:

+    * `KicadScrollSettings`
+    * `KICAD_FIND_ITEM`
