Jean-Paul Chaput 2b9c929f80 Compliance with cmake 3.0 (Debian 9.2). Corrects all warnings. 2017-12-02 14:30:05 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 89dfc2179c Compliance with c++11 and clang 3.8.1 (Debian 9.2). 2017-12-02 14:25:03 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 44a2f574bc Accurate measuring of memory usage under Linux.
* Change: In Hurricane::Timer, measuring memory usage through the increase
    of sbrk() gives erroneous results. Under Linux, now read the
    /proc/[pid]/statm which gives the real size of the virtual memory
    of the process. There is also code for reading /proc/[pid]/mmap
    but it gives only the resident size of the process (i.e. swapped
    pages are *not* accounteds).
* Change: In Katabatic, Anabatic, Kite & Katana now reports the total
    memory size of the program.

Jean-Paul Chaput f68ac4d0e6 Argh. cdebug was slowing down the program too much.
* 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.

Jean-Paul Chaput 82cff69d9f Complete rewrite of the trace system (now a stream).
* 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.

Jean-Paul Chaput 5fba1d2548 In Knik::Vertex, the _flags member was uninitialized.
* Bug: In Knik, in Vertex the _flags attribute was unitialized.
    This flag is, in particular, telling if the vertex is blocked.
    That it was taking a random value, was leading to errors and
    unreproductible behaviors. I hope this will make the global
    router deterministic at last. This problem did show in the
    Stratus FIFO generator.

* Bug: In Knik, in Vertex, remove the unused _boundingBox attribute.

Jean-Paul Chaput b209871ee6 Update copyright to 2016 for Knik, Katabatic & Kite. 2016-03-06 12:36:18 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 9db97608cb More clever way of taking into account constraints on caged terminals.
* Change: In vlsispad, in Dots, add an enable/disable flag because when printing
    into a cmess, it is only the base class ostream which is took into account
    as none of it's methods are virtuals (silly me).
* Bug: In Etesian, print into cmess instead of cout and make use of the Dots
    enabling feature.
* New: In Katabatic, added AutoContact::migrateConstraintBox() to transfert
    constraint from one contact to another.
      New flag for AutoContact, CntWeakTerminal for AutoContact which are at
    the other of a segment directly connected to a terminal. They may hold
    special constraints in case of caged terminals (computed in Kite).
      In AutoHorizontal & AutoVertical, in ::_makeDogleg(), transfert flags
    and constraints when breaking a segment directly connected to a terminal.
* New: In Kite, in protectCagedTerminals(), uses cross constraint on the
    AutoContact opposite to the ContactTerminal (CntWeakTerminal) instead
    of moving up one terminal over two consecutives. This is simpler without
    degrading the routing quality.

Jean-Paul Chaput ed557d9027 Added support for "same layer" dogleg. Big fix for pad routing.
* Change: In Knik, in Vertex, add a "blocked" flag to signal disabled
    vertexes in the grid (must not be used by the global router).
      Modificate the Graph::getVertex() method so that when a vertex
    is geometrically queried, if is a blocked one, return a non-blocked
    neighbor. This mechanism is introduced to, at last, prevent the
    global router to go *under* the pad in case of a commplete chip.
* New: In Katabatic, in AutoSegment, a new state has been added: "reduced".
    A reduced segment is in the same layer as it's perpandiculars.
    To be reduced, a segments has to be connected on source & target to
    AutoContactTurn, both of the perpandiculars must be of the same layer
    (below or above) and it's length must not exceed one pitch in the
    perpandicular direction.
      To reduce an AutoSegment, call ::reduce() and to revert the state,
    call ::raise(). Two associated predicates are associated:
    ::canReduce() and ::mustRaise().
      Note: No two adjacent segments can be reduced at the same time.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in GCellTopology, add a new method ::doRp_AccessPad()
    to connect to the pads. Create wiring, fixed and non managed by
    Katabatic, to connect the pad connector layer to the lowest routing
    layers (depth 1 & 2). The former implementation was sometimes leading
    to gaps (sheared contact) that *must not* occurs during the building
    stage.
      Remark: This bug did put under the light the fact that the initial
    wiring must be created without gaps. Gaps are closed by making doglegs
    on contacts. But this mechanism could only work when the database if
    fully initialised (the cache is up to date). Otherwise various problems
    arise, in the canonization process for example.
* New: In Katabatic, in AutoContactTerminal::getNativeConstraintBox(),
    when anchored on a RoutingPad, now take account the potential rotation
    of the Path's transformation. Here again, for the chip's pads.
* New: In Kite, support for reduced AutoSegment. TrackSegment associateds
    to reduced AutoSegment are *not* inserted into track to become
    effectively invisibles. When a segment becomes reduced, a TrackEvent
    is generated to remove it. Conversely when it is raised a RoutingEvent
    is created/rescheduled to insert it. All this is mostly managed inside
    the Session::revalidate() method.
* New: In Kite, in KiteEngine::createGlobalGraph(), in case of a chip,
    mark all global routing vertexes (Knik) that are under a pad, as blockeds.
* Bug: In Cumulus, in PadsCorona.Side.getAxis(), inversion between X and
    Y coordinate of the chip size. Did not show until a non-square chip
    was routed (i.e. our MIPS R3000).
* Change: In Stratus1, in st_placement.py add the ClockBuffer class for
    backward compatibility with the MIPS32 bench. Have to review this
    functionnality coming from the deprecated placeAndroute.py.
      In st_instance.py, no longer creates the Plug ring of a Net.
    In my opinion it just clutter the display until the P&R is called.
    Can re-enable later as an option (in Unicorn).
* Change: In Unicorn, in cgt.py, more reliable way of loading then running
    user supplied scripts. Borrowed from alliance-checker-toolkit doChip.py	.

Jean-Paul Chaput ed2cd18c48 Too narrow search area for straight net in Knik.
* Bug: In Knik, in Graph::Dijsktra(), when all the RoutingPads of a net
    are aligned, the seaching area is only one vertex wide (in width or
    height). That is, it contains only one edge in it's main direction.
    So when that sub-graph contains a fully blocked edge, Dijkstra cannot
    find a path... Now enlarge the one edge graph to at least three by
    inflating the search area. Curiously a code for similar purpose seems
    to be present, but commented.

Jean-Paul Chaput e2fcfcb699 Rationalization of Cell's flags. Compilation warnings hunt.
* New: In Hurricane, dedicated class BaseFlags to wrap a set of flags.
    Similar to the Mask class, only with a slightly different semantic.
    Encapsulation of <unsigned int>.
      Also provide support for the Inspector, to have a human-readable
    display of the flags.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Cell, regroup all the flags under a Flags
    sub-class of Cell. No more mixing between booleans and bit flags.
    (first use of BaseClass).
* In Hurricane, CRL Core & Knik, many small corrections to suppress
    annoying warning messages at compile time.
      Most noticeably, Bison errors in VstParserGrammar generated by
    rules and token with mismatched return value type. This was not
    problematic because the badly defined return value where not used.
    But still...
2015-06-10 15:49:58 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 71e1c188ea Remove obsolete XML config files. Add stub technos cmos065 & c35b4.
* New: In CRL Core, remove obsoleted XML files, no longer needed by
    Chams. Add stub for technologies CMOS065 (ST) and C35B4, aka
    AMS 035.
* Bug: In Knik, update the path where to find the FLUTE lookup tables.
    (from 2.4 to 3.1).

Jean-Paul Chaput c7e4123662 Merge branch 'github/doc' into devel (G. Gouvine) 2015-04-05 19:31:01 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput d7ca2fb299 Correct the garbled screen when shifting right in CellWidget.
* Bug: In Hurricane, In CellViewer, pass by a temporary pixmap when
    shitfing right (and bottom). We were already using the AutoCopy
    buffer for the opposites moves... Seems that the drawPixmap()
    may have changed of implementation.
      Explanation of the diagonal lines, see QTBUG-31579 that affect
    Qt 4.8.5. Temporary work around, force the pen to have a width
    of 2 pixels (for _normalPen & _linePen).
* Change: In Hurricane, in CellViewer remove the redraw by whole
    strip mechanism (offsetVA).
* New: In Hurricane, In CellViewer::DrawingPLanes add a tracking of
    the brush offset to avoid small irregularities at the border of
    two separately drawed areas.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Graphics, display a warning about the
    diagonal lines when using Qt 4.8.5.

Jean-Paul Chaput 6d366a08bc Etesian integration with Chip & ClockTree plugins.
* New: In Hurricane, in DebugSession, add a new method to activate the
    trace inconditionally with a certain level.
* New: In Hurricane, in HyperNet, allow copy construction as there is
    no reason to disallow it and we need it now.
* New: In Hurricane, in Cell::flattenNets(), add a new option to prevent
    the flattening of the clock net(s). For more safety perform the
    DeepNet creation *outside* the Collection loop.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Cell_HyperNetRootNetOccurrences, skip the
    DeepNets because they are the result of another flattening operation.
* New: In Isobar, in PyBasicLayer, export C++ method getBlockageLayer().
* New: In Isobar, in PyRoutingGauge, export C++ method getLayerPitch(),
    needed by Cumulus plugins.
* New: In Etesian, EtesianEngine::findYSpin() to look for the Y orientation
    if some cells are already placed. Typically the buffers of a clock
    tree.
      Pass the correct orienation to row_compatible_orientation().
      Do not try to add feeds in the ISPD05 benchmarks. For now the
    benchmarks are detected through their names (unreliable).
* Change: In Knik, in KnikEngine::initGlobalRouting(), allow the clock
    to be routed as an ordinary signal when the clock tree is not
    used.
* New: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails, management & detection for the
    pre-routed clock.
      In KiteEngine constructor, early initialization of the blockage
    net to avoid later troubles in BuildPowerRails.
* New: In Cumulus, in ChipPlugin, add support for Etesian plus new
    configuration parameter 'clockTree.placerEngine' to select between
    Mauka and Etesian.
* New: In Cumulus, in BlockCorona, add blockages in the vertical sides
    in the vertical layer to prevent the router to use the vertical
    tracks in under the prower lines (for example, blockage in M3
    with power line M5).
      In Cumulus, in ChipConf add attribute to access the blockage net.
* New: In Cumulus, when the clock tree is disabled, do not generate
    the last rail around the block (the clock rail).
* Bug: In Cumulus, in ChipConf use the clock pad to guess the clock
    signals and *not* the power pad.
      Add more meaningful error messages if a pad global signal is
    not found (implicit connexion by name).
* Bug: In Cumulus, in ClockTree, compute correctly the cells Y spin,
    that is *from the bottom of the cell AB* (not from 'zero').
2015-02-24 13:13:17 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput b18219d807 Integration of the latest Coloquinte in Etesian & misc modifs.
* New: In Bootstrap, in Builder & coriolisEnv.py support for RHEL7/SL7.
    The sub-directory name is 'el7_64'.
      In qt_setup() add QtSvg to list of Qt5 & Qt4 used libraries.
* New: In Hurricane, In Cell add a placeholder for flags. First use to
    store whether the Nets have been transhierarchically flatteneds.
* New: In Hurricane, In NetRoutingState add an Unconnected flag for
    more accurate diagnosis.
* New: Hurricane, in CellViewer add an entry menu for stress tests.
    The script must be named "stressScript.py" in the cwd.
* Change: In CRL Core, in display.conf add a scaling parameter for the
    display threhold of the layer. This way we can adapt to different
    standard cells height.
* Change: In CRL Core, in ISPD05 bookshelf loader, use the pitch of the
    cell gauge instead of a hard-wired 5.0.
* Change: In Cumulus, in ClockTreePlugin, add support for Etesian placer
    and a new configuration parameter to choose between Mauka/Etesian.
* New: In Etesian, support for the latest Coloquinte.
    Add feed insertion stage.
* Bug: In Kite, In BuildPowerRails, check that _ck is not NULL before
    tring to access it's name...
* Change: In Kite, check if the Cell has it's Nets flattened before
    doing it (or not).
2015-02-01 23:24:13 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 978315c017 Compliance with Clang 3.4 (RHEL7, MacOS).
* New: In Bootstrap, added support for RHEL7 in ccb.py & coriolisEnv.py.
   In coriolisEnv.py, under RHEL6, directly launch a shell under
   devtoolset-2 (do not put it in .bashrc).
* Change: All tools, compliance with Clang 3.2.
   - Call using namespace std *after* at least one include of std has
     been used.
   - In Utilities.h define both const and non-cont overload for operator<<
     of mstream (this was the true cause of the Banner display problem).
   - No longer use defaults arguments in templates, instead create two
     separated overloads.
   - Put template static attributes allocation outside of namespaces
     (this one I'm not sure how to justify).
   - Protect by NDEBUG variables that are only needed in assert().
   - In PyInterval getUnion() & getIntersection() we where silently
     overwriting the "self" object (interval).
   - In Mauka, *do no* overload _postCreate() and add an argument, breaks
     the virtual function mechanism. Rename it into _maukaPostCreate().
     Idem for SubRow().
   - In Katabatic::GCell(), invalidate() overload a Go funtion but is
     used for different purpose at this level. Rename it invalidateCt()
     (invalidate *ConTents*).
   - Miscellaneous small cleanup.
2014-12-09 23:49:46 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 1f9ae36554 Bug fixes for MOSIS SCMOS_DEEP support.
* 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.

Jean-Paul Chaput 4cf6bef950 Replace, again HUGE by HUGE_VAL in Knik (for Cygwin). 2014-08-06 17:44:07 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 51a1615d92 Do not display H/V edge capacity on one column/row design. 2014-08-01 17:22:06 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 09f515c62a Support for Windows/Cygwin, part 2.
* Change: In bootstrap, in ccb, builder and coriolisEnv.py, correct detection
    of the windows architecture (32 or 64 bits). Under Cygwin, add the
    directory of the dll into the PATH also. Uses "site-package" as the
    location of Python modules (*not* "dist-package").
      Use gnu++0x under Cygwin instead of c++11.
* Change: In Etesian, if Coloquinte is not found, do not stop the compilation,
    just disable the tool altogether.
* Change: In Hurricane, In Backtrace, disable backtrace under Cygwin as it
    uses features specific of the glibc.
* Change: In Knik, use HUGE_VAL instead of HUGE (not present under Cygwin),
    add the <cmath> header.
* Change: In Unicorn, Coloquinte no longer stops the compilation.
2014-07-23 00:55:50 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 520b9ae382 Restore support for both Qt4 & Qt5.
* Change: In bootstrap, in ccb & builder, build by default with Qt4 and
    provide a --qt5 command line switch to enable Qt5.
      FindBootstrap.cmake now provides a qtX_wrap_cpp() macros to be
    independant of the version of Qt being used.
      Add all thoses options to the graphical interface to the builder.
* Change: In all the tools using Qt, switch to the qtX_*() macros from
    FindBootstrap.cmake.
* Change: In Hurricane, in CellViewer, revert to the Qt4 way of connecting
    signal/slots for backward compatibility.
2014-07-22 11:06:26 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput d0d045b55b Starting to implement support for Windows/Cygwin.
* New: In all to CMakeLists.txt, disable the warning about deprecated
   WIN32 under cygwin.
* New: In boostrap, in ccb.py, coriolisEnv.py and builder/Configuration.py
   add recognition in uname for the values returned under Windows/Cygwin.
* New: In Documenation, in UsersGuide.rst add some informations about
   Cygwin and a section for the devel branch.
2014-07-13 13:14:49 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a6addb5c56 In Knik add support for excluded nets (not to be routeds).
* New: In Knik, in <KnikEngine>, the methods ::initGlobalRouting(), ::run()
    and ::Route() now accepts one argument, a reference to a map of not to
    be routed nets (the key being the name for fast search by name).
      This feature is introduced to prevent the routing of nets for which
    a global/detailed routing is already supplied by the designer. For now
    it applies to the clock tree.
2014-06-21 18:07:28 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2a1c7e181e Express "xEdgeCapacity" ratio as "xTracksReservedLocal" a number of tracks.
* Change: In Kite, Katabatic & Knik, express the number of tracks truly
    available to the global router by the number of tracks reserved to
    the local routage inside a GCell. Replace the ratio parameter
    "hEdgeCapacity" by an integer parameter "hTracksReservedLocal"
    (duplicate for verticals).
      It is more explicit to give directly the number of tracks that
    are to be used locally, and potentially saves us from rouding
    problems when calculating the number of availables tracks.
      Note: we cannot do that for the layer saturateRatio as it
    uses the density ratio that take account local wires, leading
    to fractional results.
* Change: In Katabatic, in <GCellGrid>, rename checkEdgeSaturation()
    into checkEdgeOverflow(), more explicit.
* Change: In Knik, in <Graph>, display the computed capacities of the
    lower left node edges (should be the same througout all the grid).
* Change: In Unicorn, in <cgt.py>, uses the new parameters names for
    edge density.
2014-06-10 16:58:52 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput dda3f99fd8 Update documentation for compliance with doxygen 1.8.5.
When upgrading from doxygen 1.5.x to 1.8.5 the way the documentation
is generated has underwent many changes, particularly in the headers.
* Change: In <header.html>, must include the javascripts <jquery.js>
    and <dynsections.js>.
* In <CMakeLists.txt>, as the header is customized, doxygen seems not
    copy some files like the javascripts and some images (open.png,
    closed.png). So we copy them from doxygen installation and make
    the CMakeLists.txt install them. I hope they will not change too
    much in the future.
* In <doxyfile>, disable markdown support as it do not interpret
    correctly the formating we already adopted (with a left margin
    to put command into). Use HTML_EXTRA_STYLESHEET instead of
    HTML_STYLESHEET. Enable the index (DISABLE_INDEX=NO), for the
    top header. Enable dot for inheritance diagram. Set the
    EXAMPLE_PATH=. to include the synthetic hierarchy.
    Correct the tag inclusion (faulty path in some places).
* In <SoC.css>, create style for the new header generated by doxygen.
* In the documentation, move the synthetic hierarchy into a module.
2014-05-13 16:30:41 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput c8bcfdf174 Improved UpdateSession & exception catching. Start of RoutingGauge implem.
Miscellaneous:
* Change: In <crlcore>, in display.conf use the same display threshold
    for both METAL2 & METAL3.
      In alliance.conf, the side of VIAs in the gauge is 2l (not 3l).
      In kite.conf, separate edge densities for H/V.
* Change: In <Cell>, in flattenNets() use flag as argument, not a
    boolean. Do not create rings for clock or supply nets.
* Change: In <DeepNet>, in _createRoutingPads() do not create rings
    for clock or supply net (duplicated policy as in Cell::flattenNets()).
* Bug: In <ControllerWidget>, at last find the bad signal disconnect
    that was causing ungraceful messages.
* Change: In <knik>, in Edge display occupancy/capacity in the string
    name. Improved display progress and debugging capabilities.

Improved exception catch & breakpoint managment:
* Bug: In <PaletteWidget>, in updateExtensions() replace the calls to
    deleteLayer() by delete. This cause the widget to be immediatly
    erased instead of waiting for the event queue to be completly
    processed. This was causing the widget to be left in a incoherent
    state when stoping at a breakpoint.
* Bug: In <BreakpointWidget>, in execNoModal(), flush the main event
    loop (QApplication::flush()) *before* lauching the *local* event
    loop. This is to ensure all widgets are in their final state when
    waiting (especially <PaletteWidget>).
* Change: In <ExceptionWidget>, new method catchAllWrapper() to
    execute any std::function< void() > function/method with a "try"/
    "catch" wraparound and lauch the widget in case something is catch.
* New: In <hurricane>, support for a oberver pattern, backported from
    <katabatic> with an Obervable capable of being linked to any
    number of Obervers.
* New: In <Cell>, made it observable to detect Cell change, currently
    emit two kind of signals:
    - Cell::CellAboutToChange : *before* any change.
    - Cell::CellChanged : *after* the change has been completed.
* New: In <UpdateSession>, in Go::invalidate() add the Cell owning the
    Go to the UPDATOR_STACK (of course the cell is added only once).
    In addition, when the Cell is added, send a notification of
    Cell::CellAboutToChange to all it's observers. The slave instances
    are also invalidated.
      Conversely in UpdateSession::_preDestroy() for each invalidated
    Cell send a Cell::CellChanged notification to all observer.
      The UPDATOR_STACK has been slightly amended to accept Cell which
    are not Gos. Prior to this, the Cell where completly excluded from
    the UpdateSession mechanism, so it's instances where never actualised
    of anything referring to the Cell for that matter.
      Note: we use two different mechanisms to transmit a Cell change,
    observers and the slave instance map. I think at some point it
    should be unificated.
* Change: In <CellViewer>, make it a Cell observer to redraw when the
    cell is modificated (also update the palette).
      Uses the catchAllWrapper() to protect all critical actions.
* Change: In <GraphicTool>, no longer need of cellPreModificated and
    cellPostModificated signals. Now done through the Cell obersvers.
* Change: In <mauka>, <etesian> & <kite> now uses the catchAllWrapper
    method for protection (need to split methods in two, to be able
    to pass it as argument). No longer emit cellPreModificated and
    cellPostModificated.

Support for RoutingGauge in P&R:
* Bug: In <placeandroute.py>, the connection from the internal power
    ring to the connectors was not done correctly. Wrong contact layers
    leading to a gap.
* Change: In <BuildPowerRails>, detection of the corona signals based
    on how the "pck_px" pad is connected. No longer based on name
    matching.
* Change: In <placeandroute.py>, support for 2 routing metal only
    (3 metal in the technology).
* Change: In <katabatic> & <kite> support for a "top layer" limitation
    on the routing gauge, this allows to use only two routing metals
    (METAL2 & METAL3). Work in progress.

Jean-Paul Chaput fee45ef117 Qt5 porting, cleanup & Tidy.
Cleanup:
* Cleanup: In <vlsisapd/src/bookshelf>, remove unused file Bookshelf.cpp
    (may have been a parser once upon a time).
* Cleanup: In <hurricane>, in Cell::flattenNets() use flags instead of
    booleans to be more readable. Allow occurrence placement checking.
* New: In <crlcore> add Python wrapper for the Ispd05 loader.
* New: In <unicorn> add option for direct loading of ISPD05 designs.
* Bug: In <hurricane/src/viewer>, RecordModel must emit
    layoutAboutToBeChanged() before changing the record contents (and
    layoutChanged() afterwards).

Jean-Paul Chaput 4842f21a2e Update to Qt 5, requires cmake 2.8.9. New placer: Etesian.
Update to Qt 5:
* Change: Now requires at least cmake 2.8.9.
* Change: CMakeLists.txt needs small changes. Qt modules must be found
    one by one (Core, Gui, Widgets). Must add "set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)"
    in the top file and replace "qt4" prefix in macros by "qt5".
    Added simpler macro "setup_qt()" in FindBootstrap.cmake.
* Change: No longer need to include <QGtkStyle> is is choosen by default
    according to the current desktop environment.
* Change: In <hurricane>, In HApplication, launch ExceptionWidget when
    a std::exception is catched instead of silently discarting it.

New placer Tool: Etesian
* New: <etesian> analytical placer. Encapsulate Coloquinte from
   Gabriel Gouvine.
* New: in <documentation>, add stub demonstration ToolEngine <smurf>.
   Needs to be commented.

Miscellaneous:
* New: in <boostrap> and <unicorn>, added support for Etesian, the new
    analytic placer. The tool itself will be added in the next commit.
* Bug: in <CellWidget>, when shifting the display buffer, we no longer
    can copy the buffer on itself (we should never have). Now go through
    a temporary one (PlaneId::AutoCopy) which is added to the
    DrawingPlanes. Affect "goLeft()" and "goUp()".
* Bug: In <CellWidget>, remove the WA_PaintOnScreen flag/attribute.
    When it's on, no PaintEvent is transmitted to the CellWidget
    when it's the central widget of the <CellViewer> (QMainWindow).
    It's something I still don't understand from the doc of Qt.
* Change: In <AreaCommand>, use the PlaneId enumeration instead of a
    anonymous numerical index.
* Change: In <HApplication>, no longer catch and silently discard
    standartd exceptions but launch the ExceptionWidget...
    Suppress the now deprecated constructor with "Type" argument.
* Change: In <SelectionModel>, the "reset()" method is deprecated in
    Qt5, instead enclose the "clear()" by a "beginResetModel()" and
    "endResetModel()" pair.
* New: In <crlcore>, add support for ISPD05 benchmarks (in Bookshelf
    format). Forked from ISPD04 and not finished yet.
* Change: In <Mauka>, distinguish the Action string identifier from
    <Etesian>
* New: In <unicorn>, add entry for ISPD05 loader. Add entry for
    <Etesian> analytic placer.

Jean-Paul Chaput f6ab7b87f0 Compliance with g++ 4.8.1, support for devtoolset-2
Details:
* New: in <bootstrap>: add support for devtoolset-2 in ccb. Run the
    cmake commands through 'scl', set shell environment variables
    BOOST_INCLUDEDIR & BOOST_LIBRARYDIR and disable the default
    system path search.
* Change: In various flex scanners add the %nounput to suppress
    compiler warnings.
* Change: Little cleanup for g++ 4.8.1 as it's more strict.
* Change: In various top CMakeLists.txt, suppress extraneous '/'
    after DESTDIR.

Jean-Paul Chaput 34e0edfd61 Cleanup after SVN importation, <ccb> builder script adaptation.
Project hierarchy reorganisation:
* With svn, we were doing a tool by tool checkout, suppressing the
  whole repository hierarchy level.
* The tools were also grouped, inside one repository, into multiple
  projects (<bootstrap>, <vlsisapd>, <coriolis>).
* We do not want to split up each tool into a separate repository,
  given their tight integration (except for vlsisapd).
* We choose to simplify, and consider all tools in a svn repository
  one project. Due to the way Git clone repositories, the directory
  containing the project is now to be seen under "src/".

CMake modifications:
* Now that the <vlsisapd> and <bootstrap> projects are merged into
  coriolis, modificate the top CMakeLists.txt of each tool to uses
  only Coriolis (and bootstrap hard wired).

CCB compile script modifications:
* Uses the new source tree hierarchy, with the project directory
  inserted.
* Remove (comment) all parts relateds to svn managment.
* Git is sufficiently simple so that we do not want to integrate
  command shortcut into the script.

SVN cleanup:
* Remove the obsolete <chamsin> tool, that has become the full fledged
  <chams> project long time ago.

Jean-Paul Chaput 7c37836ca0 * All tools:
- 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.
