C++ library to read and write DXF/DWG files
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:20 commits in 6 days
Contributions summary:Miguel focused on improving the efficiency and maintainability of the C++ library. They addressed potential memory issues by replacing Variable Length Arrays (VLAs) with `new[]` and `delete[]` pairs. The user also refactored code related to string handling within the `dwgbuffer.cpp` and `rscodec.cpp` files. This included the use of `std::string` and adjustments to temporary decoding memory allocation.

LibreCAD/LibreCAD
Jul 2015 - Jul 2015
LibreCAD is a cross-platform 2D CAD program. It can read DXF/DWG, and write DXF/DWG/PDF/SVG files. It supports point/line/circle/ellipse/parabola/hyperbola/spline primitives. The GUI is highly customizable, and has dozens of translations.
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:8 commits, 3 PRs, 2 comments in 7 days
Contributions summary:Miguel's primary contributions involve refactoring and optimization of the LibreCAD codebase, specifically within the `libdxfrw` library. They addressed code inefficiencies by removing unnecessary statements and avoiding the use of Variable Length Arrays (VLAs). Furthermore, the user updated the code to prevent compiler warnings and created a new method within the `rscodec` to separate out temporary decoding memory allocation/deallocation from the actual decoding. These changes improve the code's maintainability and efficiency.
