Hello,
As I've written earlier, I've started refactoring the Node hierarhy in the source code. I consider the first part of it is done, so I'm sending a patch. (I's quite a large one, I hope it's not a problem). It can be applied to a source tree called 'trunk'.
What am I changing with this patch: - the Node hierarhy looks like this:1. Node: base class; momentanely has some interfaces related to connectors that will be removed with the upcoming patches; also note that this is an abstract class 1.1 ECNode: Electronic Node, inherits from Node; it's an abstract class too; defines a simpler interface for managing connectors
1.1.1 PinNode: inherits from ECNode; this class can be instantiated 1.1.2 JunctionNode: this also inherits from ECNode; can be instantiated1.2 FPNode: Flowpart node; an abstract class which defines the interface for directional connections
1.2.1 InputFlowNode: correponds to the "old" FPNode with type() == fp_in 1.2.2 OuptutFlowNode: the "old" FPNode with type() == fp_out 1.2.3 JunctionFlowNode: the "old" FPNode with type() == fp_junction - the Node::type() method remains, because it's still needed in some places- the instantiation of the nodes is different; the constructor ECNode::ECNode, FPNode::FPNode with a parameter giving the type of the node is now not used (it cannot be used, because those classes are abstract now)
Any comments are welcome :)The next thing I want to do is to fix ICNDocument, ItemDocumentData, CNItem (?) classes, so I can remove the unneded interfaces from the Node class. Also hopefully the type() member will be removed finally. I'll write a todo list once I've investigated the problem.
