Hello everybody, there has been only a little activity on the mailing list, but this doesn't mean that development stopped. Currently I'm working on the minimal simulator codebase, which consists only of classes directly related to simulation, and not user interface.
In the current status, the general structure is mostly done. A few components are implemented, the rest will be done when the supporting infrastructure can be considered final. Test cases using the implemented components are working, and during last weeks I managed to do proper cleanup of the allocated memory. Running the test-cases under valgrind now gives 0 allocation errors, but it also detects some potential memory leaks from the used libraries (qt, glib, gpsim). As there are no leaks in our code, I'd say it's not a big problem. The next thing to do on my side is to improve the component destruction mechanism, in the sense that now objects have to be deleted in the following order: 1. connectors 2. components 3. circuit This destruction order doesn't seem realistic for me, except that the circuit should be really deleted last -- no component should exist outside the circuit. Maybe QPointer could be used to track when specific objects have been deleted, and remove the references to them. Another option would be to have bidirectional reference between circuit, components, nodes and connectors, so when any of the objects gets deleted, it notifies its "neighbors" to remove the references to it. As usual, any comments and notes are welcome for discussion.
