* 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.
* Change: In Hurricane, the NetRoutingProperty is moved into Hurricane
from Katabatic. Needed for Knik to be able to access thoses
informations.
* Change: In Hurricane, in RoutingPad::setOnBestComponent(), now in
case of identical area, select the component of lowest id.
This should not be needed if the component ordering was fully
deterministic as it should be (will investigate later).
This is to ensure that the choosen component is always the
same, especially between save/load of a global routing.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in AutoContactHTee::updateTopology(), invalidate
the segments only if the topology is valid (no NULL in the
cached segments).
* Bug: In Katabatic, in GCellTopology::construct(), throw an error
if the topology is bad instead of trying to continue (and core
dump later... ).
* Bug: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails, distinguish the name of the master
net in the pad (for vddi, vssi, vdde, vsse, ck, cki & cko) and the
name of the net in the *chip* netlist. Must use the later to make
comparison as they may differs.
* Change: In Knik, in save/load solution, exclude nets that are not
globally routed by Knik. That is which NetRoutingProperty is not
*Automatic*.
* Bug: In Cumulus, in chip.BlockPower take account of the layer
width extention to sligthy shrink the connector thus avoiding a
notch with standart cell in some cases.
* Change: In Cumulus, in chip.ClockTree disable the use of fixed Steiner
trees for the leaf clocks, as it seems overconstrained for the
router. First move was to lower them in M2/M3 (instead of M3/M4)
but that was not sufficent.
* New: In Cumulus, RSavePlugin for recursively saving a physical
hierarchy.
* New: In documentation, first embryo for RDS file. Should have been
in Alliance git, but I prefer to keep newest doc in Coriolis.
Finally get rid of the demonic code from Wu Yifei...
* New: In Isobar, added encapsulation of Interval (don't know how have
forgotten it for so long).
* Change: In Isobar, In PyLayer, new PyLink_LayerDerived() function to
create/link the C++ object to the correct derived class and not the
base one (PyLayer) which then prevent to use the specialized methods.
Must replace PyLink_Layer() througout all the code.
* Change: In Isobar, in PyPoint the "setX()" & "setY()" methods where
still capitalized.
* Change: In Isobar, in PyQuery, complete the exportation of the C++
interface. remove the code belonging to a more "boost" way of
building the Python interface (will do that in a far future).
* New: In CRL Core, In PyAllianceFramework, export isPad() method.
* Change: In Unicorn, in unicornInit.py, protect the loading of each
single plugin by a "try" / "except" clause to the failing of one
plugins do not stop the loading of the next one.
Pass the same dictionnary argument to unicornHook() as for
ScripMain(), this is more uniform this way.
* New: In Cumulus, complete replacement of the chip placement scripts
from Wu Yifei (at last!). The clock-tree integration is still to
be done.
________________________________________________________________________
- A complete sweep of cleanup to suppress allmost all compiler warnings.
* ./hurricane/doc/hurricane:
- New: Documentation cleanup and update, particularly on the new Layer
derived classes.
* ./hurricane/src/hurricane,
./hurricane/src/isobar,
./hurricane/src/viewer:
- New: Creation of new methods, more explicit on DbU. Based on a to/from
naming scheme.
- New: Python support extented to include all objects needed to configure
through python scripts.
- Change: Finally understood what's causing the _XOPEN_SOURCE redefinition.
Basically the Python.h must be included first before any other
include. The type-puned problem will remains still (that is a Python
problem, not our own).
- Change: In DisplayStyle, uses shared_ptr for DrawingStyle instead of
custom made reference count.
