* Bug: In Hurricane::DrawingQuery::drawGo(), forgot to apply translation
on Polygon and Rectilinear.
* Bug: In Hurricane::Rectilinear, forgot implementation of getContour().
Add a new accessor getPoints().
* Bug: In CRL::Blif::load(), do not always enforce translation towards
VHDL names. When loading LEF+gds it may change the Cell names between
the two stages so the gds layout do not get added to the LEF Cell
phantom.
Now add a boolean enforceVhdl argument (may be a flag in the future).
* Bug: In ::GdsStream::operator<<(Cell*), forgot to drive the Rectilinear.
* Change: In CRL::Blif, we now can add a list of Hurricane library for
the parser to look for standart cells. If the library list is *empty*
we look use the Alliance mechanism, if not, we look *only* in this
library list. This behavior is implemented in Subckt::createModel(). I
To add a library, use CRL::Blif::add(Library*).
This allow to manage symbolic or real mode loading, it may need
some rework to clarify the interface.
* Change: In Hurricane Commons.h, even when cdebug print nothing, it slow
down the program (three times for Kite!). Create a macro cdebug_log
which calls cdebug *only* if the debug level is active.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Flags add operator overload for "int" type
and not only "unsigned int". Otherwise the compiler complaints about
ambiguous overload when using enum values which are considered as
"int".
Simpler code for the BaseFlags::contains() method.
Added implicit conversion from BaseFlags toward bool type.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Commons, complete replacement of the previous
two trace systems (trace & ltrace) by a stream-based one.
As it is a true object it is much less fragile than the one based
on defines (but maybe a little slower).
Define a reservation table for the trace levels for all the
Coriolis & Chams components.
* Change: All tools, use the new trace system.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in HApplication, ExceptionWidget ans PyHurricane.h,
forgot to catch the Hurricane::Bug exception which was leading to
terminate() without explanations.
* Change: In Katabatic, In GCellTopology, now support one GCell with
five metal1 terminal of the same net. This unlikely configuration
did appear in the SNX for the first time...
* New: In Hurricane, In Net & Cell, support for Net aliases names.
Use a structure based on a simple ring of NetAliasHook. The Net
holds a global map, sorted by names of all the aliases of all Nets.
Elements NetAliasesHook of the map are slaves of ring whose master
is an attribute of the Net (it is *not* in the map, as the primary
name of the Net).
In case of merge, the aliases of both Nets are merged and the
name of the merged one become an alias.
The Cell::getNet() looks in both the Net map and the aliases to
find a Net by name.
* Bug: In CRL Core, in coriolisInit.py, reoder the loading of the
configuration files so the real technology is read as early as
possible to set up the <gridsPerLambda> factor before any lambda
is actually computed...
* Bug: In CRL Core, in AcmSigda, do not try to fed the file when it
has failed to be opened. Throw a clean exception instead.
* New: In CRL Core, in Toolbox, add a NamingScheme object to convert
a design into VHDL compliant names (mainly from Blif/Verilog).
This is extensible in any case.
* New: In CRL Core, in BlifParser, slightly more informative warning
messages. Align the loading progress information on the other
parsers.
Add a capability to select which component of the design will
be returned, if there are more than one. Use the "." as separator.
For exemple you can request "Processor.Alu", which will load
the "Alu" component from the design in "Processor.blif".
To be able to save a Blif loaded design, systematically convert
all the name for VHDL compliance, as it is the format used by
the Coriolis native files (vst).
Export the Blif parser to the Python interface.
* New: In Kite, In NegociateWindow, add a counter of the number of
remaining events. Gives an idea of the ETA...
* New: In Unicorn, in cgt.by, add an option to load a Blif design from
the command line.
* New: In Cumulus, new RSave plugin to save both netlist & layout.
Partly redundant with the previous one. Have to better organize
that later.
