Improve stability, testing and bring modern C++ to KStars
Brief explanation: KStars has a mature codebase with well-written C++. It has been under constant development for the last 16 years and requires serious modernization due to the complexity of the code with its many contributors. The student is required to refactor the sources with modern C++11/C++14 features, explore and fix corner cases, perform static code analysis and implement new testing methods.
Expected results:
Refactor code to C++11/C++14 Replace raw pointers with smart pointers where appropriate. Use standard containers. Migrate all connections/slots to new Qt style connection. Add new unit and functional tests covering the complete scope of the source code. Reduced memory footprint especially on embedded devices. Knowledge Prerequisite: C++, Qt, Data Structures

Progress of the planned items:
1. Add ccache support
Status: DONE

2. Add hardening support to the CMake build system (improve security)
Status: DONE
Example commits:

Update the security flags https://github.com/KDE/kstars/commit/b0936baa56951dad2b67931aad73c63ea153c31f
3. Add Clang specific improvements to the CMake build system
Status: DONE
Example commits:
Add verbose warning and optimized debug/linker flags https://github.com/KDE/kstars/commit/b6d848b849f4d3be664ad3b33a1a531734d11d23
4. Add Clang sanitizers to the CMake build system
Status: DONE
Example commits:
Add sanitizer support https://github.com/KDE/kstars/commit/2c32445378c9bc9f74d48c136a5f8e9656159490
5. Run the KStars application with the sanitizers enabled and fix all memory error found by these tools
6. Add Unity build to the CMake build system to cut the build time
7. Refactor codes to modern C++11/C++14 what I get in touch while fixing bugs:
Status: In Progress
Example commits:
Replace NULL with nullptr https://github.com/KDE/kstars/commit/827f5c2d60d9c4594470cd693edee66868af014e
Fix compiler warnings https://github.com/KDE/kstars/commit/f075756affa3494f9be91d74221e93575ad8c4d9
8. Add documentation about the improvements and the sanitizers to the wiki pages.
Status: In Progress
