Also added some references/smart pointers to a couple places
that seemed convenient to the user.
I haven't updated the constructors for RobotDrive() related
examples, pending the results of gerrit change https://usfirst.collab.net/gerrit/#/c/960/
A few things that we are noticing:
--It might be nice if ReturnPIDInput() didn't have to be const;
when people try to override it, they have to remember to put
the const in and if they don't, then the compiler error isn't the
most obvious (especially since this is a change). This would also
apply to PIDGet() in the PIDSource interface.
--SendableChooser still takes raw pointers. This could lead to an
issue I had to debug briefly where you accidentally call
GetSelected() on autoChooser and put the resulting raw pointer
into a unique_ptr, which destroys the pointer when it goes out of
scope. Specifically, I was testing the PacGoat example and
I ended up with a situation where if auto mode was run once, it
was fine, but if it was run twice, the selected command would
have been destroyed by the unique_ptr. I believe that this
just requires updating SendableChosser to take shared_ptr.
--When the samples are compiled with -pedantic, it points out that
START_ROBOT_CLASS macro expansion results in a redundant semicolon.

This deals with the majority of the user-facing code
in wpilibC++Devices and a substantial portion of it in
wpilibC++. wpilibC++Sim and wpilibC++IntegrationTests
are untouched except where it is necessary to make them
work with the rest of the libraries.
There is still a lot to do in the following areas:
-The HAL (which we may not want to touch at all).
-The I2C, Serial, and SPI interfaces in wpilibC++Devices,
which I haven't gotten around to doing yet.
-Most wpilibC++Devices classes have void* pointers
for interacting with the HAL.
-InterruptableSensorBase passes a void *params for
the interrupt handler.
-I haven't converted all the const char* to std::strings.
-There are plenty of other cases of raw pointers still
existing.
-This doesn't fall directly under raw pointer stuff,
but move syntax and rvalue references could be introduced
in many places.
-I haven't touched vision code.
-The Resource classes conflict (one is in the hal, the other
in wpilibC++). Someone should figure out a more
permanent fix (eg, just renaming them), then doing
what I did (making a new namespace for one of them,
essentially the same as renaming it).
A few other things:
-I created a NullDeleter class which is marked as deprecated.
What this does is it can be passed as the deleter to a
std::shared_ptr so that when you are converting raw pointers
to shared_ptrs the shared_ptr doesn't do any deletion if
someone else owns the raw pointer. This should only be
used in making old raw pointer UIs.
-I had to alter the build.gradle so that it did not
emit errors when deprecated functions called deprecated
functions. Unfortunately, gradle doesn't appear to be
actually printing out gcc warnigns for some reason.
The best way I have found to fix this is to patch
the toolchains (https://bitbucket.org/byteit101/toolchain-builder/pull-request/5/make-gcc-not-throw-warnings-for-nested/diff)
so that a deprecated function calling a deprecated
function is fine but a non-deprecated function calling
a deprecated function will throw a warning (which we
then elevate with -Werror). I believe that clang
deals with this properly, although I have not
tried it myself.

Although I have tested this on my machine, further testing
to ensure that the problem really is solved may be helpful.

rm no longer throws a file not found error on deploy.
Also, throw in a sync command at the end of the deploy so that we don't get corrupted files.

This adds gradle support for building wpilibj and wpilibc. At this
point, both of these libraries should be fully ready to go.
Gradle should give us a number of improvements, including less
dependencies for getting building up and running, and MUCH faster build
times. I'm noticing significantly faster build times already compared to
Maven, with neither system building the plugins. The changes here should
be pretty straight forward. The basic command for gradle is './gradlew'.
This is the gradle wrapper, and it will find and download the correct
gradle executable for your system. There is no need to install anything
yourself. To see every task available, run './gradlew tasks'. The
important tasks for us are listed under the WPILib header when the tasks
command is run. To generate unit test binaries, the
fRCUserProgramExecutable command will create the C++ tester, and the
wpilibjIntegrationTestJar command will create the Java tester. The Jenkins
deploy scripts have been modified to know the difference between maven
generated and gradle generated jars with an environment variable. Creating
the eclipse plugins still requires Maven, but gradle will handle calling
it correctly and generating the proper dependencies for it. Create the
plugins by calling ./gradlew eclipsePlugins.
Jenkins can now be modified to support the new build system. Unit tests
are run with ./gradlew test. Generating the integration tests uses the
above two commands, and then process proceeds exactly as it did before.
For publishing documentation, a new task has been created, ./gradlew
publishDocs, which handles putting the documentation where Jenkins expects
for publishing.

Include delays and template code from other examples to show how to use
these examples in a full robot program. Change Java example in example
finder to Simple Vision to match C++. Add comments about how to find cam
number and change default to cam0.

This updates the image version to version 23. It also moves the vision libraries
to follow the same conventions as the rest of the ni libraries.

This updates the hal headers and ni libraries for image v19. There were
very few changes this time around, only some network communications stuff.
Also updated the minimum version number in the build properties to the new
image version

Currently, the JNI bindings are generated by Swig and, unfortunately,
the interface available through Java is lower-level than that for C++
(ie, direct access to the ctre code through the JNI bindings, rather
than an interface on top of that), but it does work.
See eclipse plugins for some short samples.
There are a couple of short unit tests as placeholders.
Still needs some cleaning up.

The build scripts were still calling the tail command for following the log

Add a "CameraServer" class for C++
This class allows the driver station's camera viewer to interact with
a C++ program. It includes both an automatic mode to send images from
a webcam to the dashboard in a background thread, and an option to
manually feed it IMAQ images.
