- -The diag plugin provides an integrity check feature to pcb-rnd. The diag plugin -can be run manually or run automatically after each user input. The diag -plugin evaluates all the board data in memory and looks for anythign that seems -strange. Note that using the diag plugin in automated mode will likely slow -down the user experience. - -The diagnostic plugin provides a dumpconf action to pcb-rnd. - - -How it can help: sometimes a bug triggers when you edit something, ruins your -data, but you don't figure it until 10 more editing steps. Then we try to -reproduce the problem by repeating the last 2..4 steps, and we fail: everything -looks good. We have no chance to figure the real problem happened 10 steps -earlier. If you auto integrity check is on, it has some chance to capture the -problem right after it happened, so we detect it at that -10th step before it -has to escalate to a segfault or assert. -<---!> - -The setting is a normal config setting, you can enable or disable it any time, +Diag is a config POV setting, you can enable or disable it any time, from gui, from cli, from config files, from actions. It's called plugins/diag/auto_integrity - by default it's 0 (off); it runs when it's set to 1. -
