Detailed Description

Class containing "advanced" configuration options.

Options set here are for developer or advanced users only. If a general user needs to set one of these for normal KiCad use, either:

• They are working around some bug that should be fixed, or
• The parameter they are setting is of general interest and should be in the main application config, with UI provided.

Options in this class are, in general, preferable to #defines, as they allow more flexible configuration by developers, and don't hide code from the compiler on other configurations, which can result in broken builds.

Never use advanced configs in an untestable way. If a function depends on advanced config such that you cannot test it without changing the config, "lift" the config to a higher level and make pass it as parameter of the code under test. The tests can pass their own values as needed.

This also applies to code that does not depend on "common" - it cannot use this class, so you must pass configuration in as proper parameters.

Sometimes you can just use values directly, and sometimes helper functions might be provided to allow extra logic (for example when a advanced config applies only on certain platforms).

For more information on what config keys set these parameters in the config files, and why you might want to set them, see AC_KEYS
