- Bug: In PyHurricane, PyTypeViaLayer was *not* reference incremented, causing
the type to be desallocated when the Python interpreter was finalizing.
This was causing <isis> to fail.
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./hurricane:
- Change: In CellViewer, one unificated method to lauch Python
scripts whatever they are Stratus or not.
- Change: In ScriptWidget, the function lauched is now
"ScriptMain()".
- New: In PyCellViewer, add the refresh method.
- 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.
- New: In ExceptionWidget, mimic more closely the behavior of a QDialog.
Uses QTextEdit/QTextDocument for the trace. Static "all in one" methods,
build from various exceptions/Errors & QString. Automatic window centering
when the trace is displayed.
- Change: In RoutingPad, uses my C++ style. Normalize constructors calls.
Allow to select (trough flags) the way the "best component" is choosen.
Currently: Biggest Area or Lowest Layer or Highest Layer.
* ./hurricane/src/viewer:
- New: In DisplayStyle, darkening is now expressed as a ratio over the HSV
components of a color. Introduce a new DisplayStyle::HSVr type.
Allow a more readable darkening effect. All object modicated accordingly.
- Change: In NetlistWidget, the "Net" section now correctly dimension itself
on the widest net name. Must suppress all the size Hints in the header
& data models.
- In CellViewer, adds a shortcut for launching Stratus scipts: SHIFT+P,S
and one for pure Python scripts: SHIFT+P,P.
- In ExceptionWidget, put the trace inside a QScrollArea so all the call
stack can be viewed regardless of the window's size. It seems that
QFontMetrics has problems to compute the right text size when using
a Qt::RichText enabled widget. Adds some "manual" corrections, hope
they will be sufficiently portables.
- New: Torus object. To allow a simpler management of a chip's corona,
the toric area between the pads and the core.
- Change: In HyperNet/LeafPlugOccurrences, change the instance stop criterions
from "isLeaf()", which means "contains no instances" to "isTerminal()"
which can be programmatically changed. This has to be done for the Pads
which are non-leaf due to "padreal" but still must be considered for their
connectors.
This modification is coupled with one in the Ap parser.
- Change: In Backtrace, enable support for Apple backtrace. This is a blind
test as I can't check by myself.
* ./hurricane/src/viewer:
- Change: In CellWidget/SelectionModel/SelectionWidget, rewrite the Gos selec-
tion mechanism. Now ExtensionGo could be selecteds as they ought to be.
Also adopt a more standard way of how objetcs are selecteds.
Prefer "dataChanged()" signal over "reset()" or "layoutChanged()" as
it keeps the selection instead of resetting it.
Unselecteds entry in the window (toggled with 't') are now shown in
red for better readability.
- New: Backtrace to print the stack when an exception is thrown.
- New: In Error, support for Backtrack.
- Change: In TextTranslator, provides a default HTML translator instead of
building it every time it was needed.
- Bug: In Common, when demangling a C++ symbol fails, returns the empty
string instead of NULL.
* ./hurricane/src/viewer:
- New: In Exception, support for the Backtrack new feature.
* ./hurricane/src/isobar:
- Change: In PyHurricane, when catching a C++ exception, adds a newline to
have a more clean display.
- New: In Query, adds an accessor to get the current path.
- Bug: In NetExternalComponents, every component of an external net was
considered as an external one. Now only truly external components
are considered.
* ./hurricane/src/isobar:
- New: StratusScript, dedicated Stratus script laucher.
- Bug: In CellWidget, when drawing selecteds Gos, the loop variable was
not reset between loops resulting in incomplete display.
* ./hurricane/src/isobar:
- New: In PyHorizontal & PyVertical, adds mutator methods.
- Bug: In Mask, the "!=" operator was erroneously implemented like the
"==" operator. Making "!=" behave like "==", what a mess.
- Bug: In BasicLayer, in constructor the _blockageLayer and _connectorLayer
where *not* initialised, leading to erratic behavior when checked
against NULL.
- Change: New problem identified with the Python modules: each module seems
to be built as a complete binary, so all the static C++ initializers are
allocated in each module. In particular the C++ tree inheritance is built
for *each* module so we cannot longer uses the typeid() comparisons
across modules... It was used by boost::program_options to perform is
casts with boost::any and was starting throwing exceptions because of
bad casts. program_option was first initialized in "configuration"
first included by PyViewer then in PyCRL (see Utilities.cpp).
A first solution is to re-order the import of Python modules in
stratus1/st_model so that CRL is imported first.
The second is to not not link "configuration" with boost::program_option
as only the binary vlsisapd-conf-editor needs it.
That is a serious problem of which we must be aware and can cause further
strange behaviors.
Debug code used to diagnostic has been kept commented in the sources a
it may be needed again :-(
This behavior do not affect our singletons because they are part of
dynamic libraries that seems to be correctly shared between the various
Python modules.
- Bug: target_link_libraries() must be put back for OSX Snow Leopard
(doesn't seems to affect Leopard). As I do not have an OSX under
my hand it's untested and is likely to fail at that point.
* ./hurricane:
- Bug: In Instance, correct support for Instance::PlacementStatus::Code.
- New: NetExternalComponents python object wrapper, moves
getExternalComponents() from Hurricane module into that new object.
- New: Breakpoint python object wrapper, to allow stratus1 to stop each
times it calls the viewer.
- Change: In PyHurricane, UpdateSession is now a true object with static
methods.
- Change: In BreakpointWidget uses a local event loop mechanism that no
longer consumes 100% of a CPU while doing nothing... (copied from
Qt's sources of QDialog).
- Library linking: there must not be "target_link_library()" for libraries,
only when building binaries. Avoid clashes between static module
or class variables, and strange reinitialisation of those variables.
- Change: Boost is now always linked staticly.
* ./hurricane/src/hurricane:
- New: TextTranslator to allow translation to and from text & HTML.
- Change: In Exception, make uses of TextTranslator to correctly display
exception text when in graphic mode.
* ./hurricane/src/isobar:
- New: Script, small object to wrap around Python scripts.
- Change: In DisplayStyle, new attribute "goMatched" to tell if the style
is associated to a given Go and therefore should be displayed in the
Layer table.
- Change: In Instance & Cell, do *not* materialize unplaced instances.
This is to avoid overloading the QuadTree at point (0,0) and besides
has no senses. Uses the PlacementStatus state.
- Bug: In Viewer CMakeLists.txt, put tool include directories first.
- Change: When static linking is required, also switch Boost libraries in static
mode. Automatically done is modules using FindHURRICANE through
SET_LIB_LINK_MODE(). Note: FindBoost must be called *after* SET_LIB_LINK_MODE().
