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
Lot of things can be const which makes the interface
a bit more legible and safe to use - lots of things are
accessing pointers that if they changed, would have wierd
and unpredicatable effects.
Probably of minor concern in practice, but a lot of strings
and vectors are being copied when they don't have to be.
Very crude profiling indicates this could save 30-50% of the time in
KIBIS::KIBIS after ParseFile, but this is incidental to
clarifying the API of the classes.
Report is const as it doesn't change the logical state of the
IBIS_ANY object (if m_reporter were a ref, it'd be mutable).
If a T* isn't null-checked inside a function, pass as ref
to show that the function expects and requires non-nullity.
A copy-paste-o meant that this wasn't working and
was also trashing the enable variable.
Add a test that loads an IBS file in the QA directory
that demonstrates this is fixed.
strcmp returns 0 if strings are the same but compareIbisWord returns
True (1).
Adds an IBIS simulation QA test case to catch this in the future
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/16223
(cherry picked from commit ef8b6bf9e1663dfc4af9f24137172f5a219dd42d)
Follow-up after the KIBIS and KIBIS GUI merge requests.
- Move KIBIS from Pcbnew to Eeschema space,
- Make KIBIS obtain the Ku/Kd coefficients via the `SPICE_SIMULATOR` class instead of calling the `ngspice` executable via `system()`,
- Allow to toggle between differential and single-ended model in the GUI,
- Various GUI fixes and improvements.
