Jean-Paul Chaput 094cb8a132 Improved handling of short nets (fully included in one GCell).
The short net mode degrade the routing in some cases. This will be
fixed in a next batch of commits.

* New: In Hurricane::NetRoutingProperty, added "ShortNet" flag for Nets
    that are completly inside *one* GCell.
* Bug: In CRL::BlifParser::Model::staticInit(), when looking for the
    output of zero and one cell, also skip the blockage net (as well as
    automatic and supplies).
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, added "ShortNet" flag to know if the
    segment is part of a short net (fully included in *one* GCell).
      Also add accessor/mutators for the _analogMode flag (was it ever
    used before?).
* New: In Anabatic::NetBuilder::singleGCell(), if a RoutingPad is
    vertically small, add a vertical segment to give it some slack.
* New: In Anabatic::Dijkstra::_materialize(), detect "short net" as
    they have only one GCell in their source list...
* Bug: In AnabaticEngine::_loadGrbyNet(), reset the AutoSegment
    "short net" and "analog mode" creation flags between two different
    nets.
* New: In Katana::Configuration, added dedicated ripup for short net
    segmnts.
* New: In Katana: partially implemented support for "short dogleg", that
    is dogleg that are always kept in same metal because they connect
    neighboring perpandicular tracks. Not finished neither activated
    yet.
* New: In Katana::TreckElement and derived, export the the *short net*
    support from AutoSegment.
* Bug: In Katana::RoutingEvent::_processRepair(), when a segment is
    successfully inserted, re-process any perpandicular that is in
    repair state, as it may have a new chance to be placed.
* New: In Katana::SegmentFsm::slackenTopology(), always reject short nets.
* Bug: In Katana::Track::check(), correctly handle wide segments instead
    of issuing false check messages.

Jean-Paul Chaput 1a338f620c Corrections in the Dijkstra global routing (ripup) mechanism.
* Bug: In Anabatic::Dijkstra, the degree of a vertex (the number of neighbors
    belonging to the same net) was miscalculated. This was leading, in the
    materialize step to some feed-through vertexes not being broken.
    Leading in turn to incomplete transformation of the detailed routing.
      Also in _trackback(), the degree of the first vertex we were backtracking
    from was not incremented.
* Bug: In Anabatic::Dijkstra::materialize(), systematically use
    GCell::breakGoThrough() on both source and target. This is needed when
    we are in the ripup phase as both source and target can be go-through.
      This was also leading to incomplete detailed routing transformation.
* Change: In Anabatic::Edge::ripup(), ripup one third of the segments instead
    of thoses exeeding the global length threshold. This way we are sure to
    desaturate an edge. Needs to be further calibrated.
* Change: In Aanabatic::GCell::breakGoThrough(), no longer return NULL.
    Return existing gcontact if any. Break if it is a go-through and create
    a new gcontact in last resort. Maybe rename this function.
* New: In Anabatic::Configuration, new parameters:
    - anabatic.edgeHScaling, to adjust the length of the horizontal edges
        relative to the vertical ones (this is a ratio).
    - anabatic.globalIterations, set the maximum number of ripup passes
        of the global router.
* New: In CRL/etc/*/kite.conf, added new parameters anabatic.edgeHScaling
    and anabatic.globalIterations.
* New: In Katana::GlobalRoute::DigitalDistance, take into account the new
    edgeHScaling factor. Must be used when the capacity of V-edges differs
    greatly for H-edges (case of AMS 350nm c35b4 for instance).
* Bug: In Katana::GlobalRoute::DigitalDistance, the historic cost is
    computed for an edge length of "1". Must be multiplicated by the
    current edge length to have any measurable effect.
      This bug is finally explaining why the ripup was producing the
    same solutions over and over, the historical cost was negligible!

Jean-Paul Chaput ba3ddafdf5 Adjustements for analog routing.
* Change: In Anabatic::GCell::doGrid(), remove the "3 slice height"
    limit (for small digital analog blocs).
* Bug: In Anabatic::NetBuilder::setStartHook(), perform a check for
    a RoutingPad still on a Plug. Diplay an error instead of crashing.
* Bug: In CRL::RoutingLayerGauge::getTrackIndex(), the upper bound
    of the track interval must be included instead of excluded.
* New: In Hurricane::Cell, add a StayOnPlugs flags for flattenNets().
    To keep the RoutingPad occurrences on Plug instead of selecting
    physical components.
* New: In Isobar::PyNet, add setAutomatic() and isAutomatic() to the
    interface.
* Bug: In Katana::protectRoutingPads(), do not create protections on
    PinOnly layers (mostly metal1).

Jean-Paul Chaput 95aba574a5 Happy New Year 2018 ! Update license years... 2018-01-06 17:55:44 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 9b2648241d In Anabatic/Katana, add support for VH gauges (real technos).
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoContactTerminal::getNativeConstraintBox(),
    when the anchor is a RoutingPad (which must be always the case),
    perform the true computation of it's position based on the
    segment occurrence. It is a important change, previously the
    area was in fact the "center line" of the connector while now
    it is really an area (mandatory for "half-offgrid" terminals of
    real technologies).
      The change is not complete yet, the area should be shrinked
    by the half size of a VIA, because the area applies to the center
    coordinate of the VIA (to be done quickly).
* Bug: In Anabatic::AutoContactTurn::updateTopology(), when a dogleg
    is created (restore connexity after a layer change) the layer of
    the VIA, based on the segments it connects to must be re-computed
    *after* the dogleg has been made.
* Change: In all files of Anabatic, when comparing two layers, no longer
    use the Layer pointer itself, but the layer mask. This allow a
    transparent management of both real and symbolic layers (which
    do share the same mask). Real metal layers (not VIAs) will be
    BasicLayer and symbolic metal layers will be RegularLayer.
* New: Anabatic::Configuration::selectRpComponent(), select the best
    RoutingPad component for metal1 terminals. Look for the metal1
    component with the biggest accessibility on-grid.
      RoutingPad using other metals are left untoucheds.
* New: New function Anabatic::Vertex::getNeighbor(Edge*) to get the
    neighbor Vertex through an Edge*. This method allows to write
    clearer code as we no longer need to access the neighbor through
    the underlying GCell.
      Also add proxies for GCell methods in Vertex.
* Bug: In Anabatic::Dijkstra::_toSources(), in the ripup stage, when
    a component with multiples vertexes is reached *and* two of it's
    vertexes are reached *at the same time* (one from which we backtrack
    and one still in the queue) extraneous edges may be created by
    _materialize(). Case occurs on snx/c35b4, "abc_5360_n903_1".
      To solve this, Dijkstra::_toSource() is modificated, the "from"
    edges of the newly reacheds vertexes are reset to NULL, *except*
    for the one we will be backtracking from. That is, the one given
    in the source argument.
* Change: In Anabatic::NetBuilder class, put the various Hooks and
    RoutingPad sorting functions as class ones.
* Bug: In AutoSegment::setLayer(), raise the SegInvalidatedFayer flag.
    This unset flag was causing AutoContactTurn::updateTopology()
    to not work as expected and making gaps, this was the cause of
    the last remaining warnings about layer connexity.

Jean-Paul Chaput eae5d6bf83 Added support for 2-Metal block routing in Anabatic & Katana.
* New: In AnabaticEngine::invalidateRoutingPads() this method is a temporary
    workaround for a Hurricane problems. When an instance is moved, the
    RoutingPads that use it must be moved accordingly, but they are not
    invalidated so they stay in the wrong QuadTree.
      New method ::_resizeMatrix() to be called when the associated Cell
    is resized.
* Bug: In AutoHorizontal::getConstraints() and AutoVertical::getConstraints(),
    the *target* constraints where never merged.
* Change: In AutoHorizontal::getCells() and AutoVertical::getGCells(),
    now return a boolean to tell if it was ok (must not encounter a NULL
    GCell while progessing from source to target).
* New: In Anabatic::Configuration and Anabatic:Session, create new methods:
     - getDHorizontalLayer()
     - getDhorizontalDepth()
     - getDHorizontalWidth()
     - getDHorizontalPitch()
     And so on for Vertical and Contact.
       They supply depth-independant informations about the H/V layers to
     build the initial detailed routing.
        The AutoSegment::create() methods have been modificated accordingly.
* New: In Anabatic::GCell, add two new types "StdCellRow" and "ChannelRow"
    for implementing 2-Metal blocks.
      Rename the GCell::setXY() method in GCell::setSouthWestCorner(),
    move the contents of GCell::updateContactsPosition() into it and
    suppress it.
      WARNING: In case of a GCell shrink this may cause problems. But for
    now we only expand...
      New method GCell::getNetCount() to count the number of Net going
    though the GCell.
* Change: In Anabatic::Edge, add specific support for capacity of 2-Metal
    routing channels.
* Change: In Anabatic::Dijsktra various methods, replace the "gcell->isMatrix()"
    calls by "not gcell->isAnalog()". Add more check so that the methods
    pertaining to the analog routing (GRData) are not called in digital
    mode.
* New: In Anabatic::Dijkstra::materialize(), add support for 2-Metal specific
    cases. That is, always break in case of vertical pass-through or
    U-turn. The global routing must always be broken in H-Channel.
* New: In Anabatic::GCell & Anabatic::Edge, make use of the Session mechanism
    to ensure the revalidation. The "::revalidate()" method is then moved
    as "::materialize()" (overload of Go) and "::_invalidate()" becomes
    "::invalidate()"
* Change: In LoadGlobalRouting, cosmetic rename of SortHkByX in SortHookByX.
* New: In GCellTopology, added support for building 2-Metal topologies.
    * ForkStack is now an object attribute as many methods do need it.
    * To push segments/hook on the stack, a new method "push()" is
      available. Perform NULL and fromHook checking. Can also setup
      _southWestContact or _northEastContact if it is the "from" edge.
    * N/S/E/W edges are now vector as in digital channel mode there
      can be more than one.
    * Added build topological build methods:
      - doRp_2m_Access() RoutingPad stem access.
      - _do_2m_1G_1M1() North or south access.
      - _do_2m_2G_1M1() North AND south access.
      - _do_2m_xG() H-Channel routing.
* New: In Anabatic::Matrix, new ::resize() function, as Cell can be resizeds.
* New: In Anabatic::Vertex, new static method ::getValueString() for a
    friendly text rendering.
* New: In Katana::DigitalDistance, support for channel routing.
* Change: In KatanaEngine::digitalSetup() and KatanaEngine::runGlobalrouter(),
    for channel routing, calls to setupPowerRails() and
    protectRoutingPads() must be called after the core block has
    been fully dimensionned.
      ::runGlobalrouter() contains the code tasked with the grid creation
    and channel sizing.
* New: In KatanaEngine: Added support for core block, for 2-Metal routing.
    May be expanded for over-the-cell routing in the future.
      Added methods :
      - isDigitalMode()
      - isAnalogMode()
      - isMixedMode()
      - isChannelMode()
      - getBlock() / addBlock()
      - setupChannelMode()
      - createChannel()
* New: In Katana, new class Block to manage core blocks and perform
    channel routing.
* New: In Katana::Session, new convenience method "isOpen()".

Jean-Paul Chaput d776996658 Cell::flattenNets() is now able to work on one instance only.
* New: Occurrence_Contains filter that tells if an instance is part of
    an Occurrence. Checks for two cases:
      - The Instance is part of the *path* of the Occurrence.
      - The Instance is the associated entity itself.

Jean-Paul Chaput 8a73b03fd8 Synchronize priority of TrackSegments connecteds through doglegs.
* Bug: In Anabatic::Dijsktra, correct the indentation in cdebug calls
    (lots of them causing a big shift right).
* New: In Anabatic::TrackSegment, new helper structure SideStack to
    manage a set of aligned GCells and their various sides sizes.
* Change: In Anabatic::TrackSegment::computeOptimal(), more accurate
    computation of attractors from global segments and variable size
    GCells using SideStack.
* Change: In Katana::DataSymmetric::checkPairing(), increase the tolerance
    for misaligned symmetrics from 2 to 5 tracks (should be enough for our
    narrow channel routing).
* New: In Katana::TrackSegment, add a first flag to enable locking of
    priority. If it is set, calls to either "computePriority()" or
    "forcePriority()" will have no effect. Added the uint32_t flags
    paraphernalia.
* New: In ::computeNetPriority(), overall function to control the call
    of TrackSegment::computeAlignedPriority(). The call is done from
    NegociateWindow::run().
* New: Katana::TrackSegment::computeAlignedPriority(), order the
    TrackSegments aligneds through doglegs to the one with the highest
    priority is routed first and others progressively from him. Done by
    forcing an ever decreasing priority on the aligneds ones.
      The amount of decrease is small so the aligned segments got routed
    (ordered) in close, if not contiguous, sequence. Priority is locked
    for the order to remain.
* Bug: In Katana::TrackSegment::computePriority(), correct computation
    of the priority when there is more than 10 free tracks
    (a DbU::toLambda() call was missing, leading to very big priorities).
* Change: In katana::TrackCost CTOR, do not compute a distance to fixed
    in the case of analog segments, this is backfiring.
      Slight change of the compare function when delta differs. Seems
    to improve a little.
2017-05-30 22:33:06 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput e78c3f21ef Added analog type on segment NetRoutingProperty.
* New: In Anabatic_AutoSegments collection, added a Flag to the constructors
    to allow different behavior between digital and analog modes.
      For "Aligneds" and "Perpandiculars" collections, now manage a new
    Flag WithDoglegs to follow aligned globals through local doglegs
    (for analog nets).
      Adjust the log level of collections to 144 (formerly 145).
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, new flag SegAnalog for segments that are
    part of an analog net.
      Note that with this flag, we reach the 32 bits limit...
* Change: In Anabatic::Constants, Flags are now declared as BaseFlags
    objects and *not* uint64_t. This avoids overload resolution problems with
    arithmetical overload of the operators.
      The BaseFlags/Flags types are now completly "isolated" from the
    uint64_t, it has the advantage of showing where unwanted previous implicit
    conversions where occuring.
* Change: In Katana::Constants, Flags values are now of BaseFlags type instead
    of uint64_t.
* Change: In Anabatic::Dijkstra, lots of log cleanup.
* Change: In Anabatic::GCell::getSide(), make the "shrink" parameter visible
    to allow to substract the topmost and rightmost track for axis span
    computation in AutoSegment::computeOptimal(). Used for analog mode.
* Change: In NetRoutingState, added a flag for analog mode. Use uint32_t
    for the flags type.
* New: In Isobar, export the NetRoutingState and NetRoutingExtension objects.
2017-05-20 12:33:12 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput d07cdf03e9 Replace "unsigned int" by "Flags" in all AutoSegments collections.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoSegments collections, change the type of all
    the flags that where in "unsigned int" (32 bits) to Flags (uint64_t)
    as there is now more than 32 flags for functions.
* New: In Ababatic::Constants, added new flag Flags::WithPerpands, which
    makes the number of flags tip over 32 bits, thus making mandatory
    to uses Flags and not unsigned int.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegments_Perpandiculars, manage a new flag
    Flags::WithDoglegs to allow to propagate through global segments that
    are connecteds via doglegs on local segments. Meaning that there is
    a good chance that they could be aligned.
      Slighly change the way we propagate on aligned segments: no longer
    check for VTee or HTee, but only for same direction and layer as
    master.
* New: In Anabatic & Katana, replace all the "int", "long" and their
    variants by the less implementation ambiguous "int32_t", "int64_t"
    (and variant). This should help to better detect bit trucation in
    flags.
      Use the type to give a hint about the flags kind:
        - Type "Flags", for flags shared among Anabatic & Katana
          functions/methods (may also appear in some objects states).
        - Type "uint32_t" for flags belonging to an object internal
          state of from Hurricane functions flags (those should be
          grouped in a Flag subclass in a perfect world).

Jean-Paul Chaput 47c9961ef3 First intergration of the Analogic router parts.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, introduce a the kind (associated to a
    flag) "LongLocal". Analog GCells can be very wide, so at least some
    carefuly choosen long local segments must be took into account as
    attractors in the computation of the optimal axis.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::computeOptimal(), take LongLocal into
    account as attractors.
* Change: In ::GCellTopology constructors compare the layers of the
    RoutingPads using layer masks instead of Layer pointers. Allows to
    find both "METALx" (symbolic) and "metalX" (real).
* Change: In ::GCellTopology::_doHChannel(), _doChannel(), _doStrut()
    and _doDevice(), tag long locals as "LongLocal". This need to be
    reviewed as it as bind done a bit too quickly.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, due too a much bigger span of the
    analogic GCells the _optimalMin & _optimalMax bitfields must use
    16 bits instead of 8 (they where overflowed).
* New: In Katana, reorganisation of the initialization procedure to fit
    both digital and analogic cases. Create an analogInit() method.
* Change: In Katana::RoutingEvent, the _tracksNb and _tracksFree bitfields
    where too short for the Analog GCell size, now uses 16 bits instead of
    6.
* Bug: In Katana::GraphicKatanEngine::drawGCell(), skip drawing of a
    GCell if *both* width and height are under 150 pixels.
* New: In Katana::Session, add a new isOpen() method.

EricLaoGitHub 5f25ba349f * Change: Dijkstra, GCell

* New: LoadGlobalRouting
  Detailed Routing can be performed for analog circuits.
  The router does not take into account analog constraints yet.
  Warnings on "metal2" should be corrected in the future.
  Types of GCell considered by the router are: Device, VChannel/HChannel and Strut.
  The analog circuit MUST be organized in a slicing structure.

    connected only through one, all others must be discarteds. The right
    one will have it's connex id set, all the others will stay to -1.

Jean-Paul Chaput 48f3a2bc3c Anabatic transient commit 18. Port of Kite (Katana), Yeah, Baby! Yeah!
* Bug: In Hurricane, in StaticObservable::getObserver(), if the slot
    pointer is NULL, do not try to access the owner. Returns NULL, so
    the caller can be aware of the situation...
* Change: In Hurricane, in BreakpointWidget & ExceptionWidget some
    cosmetic changes (fonts and window sizes).
* Bug: In Anabatic, In AutoHorizontal::getConstraints(), take into account
    the constraints from the source AutoContact, as it holds the constraints
    transmitted by the RoutingPads and sets up by propageConstraintsFromRp().
    It is likely to be a bug affecting the original Katabatic as well.
* Change: In Anabatic, in RawGCellsUnder(), check that the segment is not
    completly oustside the cell abutment box and truncate the coordinates
    to the part that is inside. Use the "shrink" if we reach the east/north
    border.
* Change: In Anabatic, in Configuration, no more decorator because we will
    use a true derived relationship. Katana *derives* from *Anabatic* and do
    not *decorate* it, so the Configuration can do the same. It also implies
    that we directly create a Katana engine, not an Anabatic one.
* Change: In Anabatic, in Session, do not allow the opening of the Session
    in a standalone fashion (with a static method). Instead it must be opened
    using the relevant method of the Anabatic/Katana engine. This ensure we
    are opening the right Session type.
* Change: In Anabatic, in AutoSegment_Aligneds() collection the seed segment
    is not part of the collection by default, but will be included if the
    Flags::WithSelf is set.
* Change: In Configuration, all the flags value are now defined in two steps.
    Declared in the header and initialized in the module. This is to prevent
    the fact that on some cases, in relation with the Python "extern C" part
    modules, we need a true allocated variable. It was causing weird linking
    problems.
      A side effect is that they can no longer be used as entry is switches,
    have to replace them by if/else.
* New: In Anabatic, new GCell::getNeighborAt() utility function.
* Bug: In Anabatic, in GCell::doGrid(), tag all the GCells of the grid with
    the grid type... Back annote all the edges capacity (north & east) with
    the reserved local capacity.
* New: Complete portage of Kite over Anabatic. The new engine is christened
    "Katana" for Kite-Analogic. When it's capabilities and performances
    will be on a part with Kite, it is to completly replace it (and take
    back the "Kite" name). Preliminary tests seems to show that, contrary
    to intuition (because built on a more complex/slower grid), it is even
    slightly faster than Kite 8-).

Jean-Paul Chaput db098db351 Anabatic transient commit 15. Introduce Net ordering for global route.
* New: In Anabatic:
    - In AnabaticEngine, create a new NetData information for storing
      the static ordering of nets (for the global routing). The order
      is the half perimeter of the search area divided by the number
      of RoutingPads. The order is static once it as been computed in
      the first place (even through ripup stages).

Jean-Paul Chaput 84dad2249e Anabatic transient commit 14. Change model for long wires.
* Change: In Anabatic:
    - Long wires, going straight accross multiple GCells were splitted
      into a long sequence of segment+contact, one for each gone-through
      GCell. It was memory-consuming and algorithmically inefficient.
      Now there is only one straight wire.
        As a consequence, Edges now store the list of all segments
      going through them. That way we do not need to load a Net into
      Dijkstra before riping up some of it's segment. The ripup mechanims
      can now be implemented right at AnabaticEngine level, without
      dependencies over Dijkstra. Note that long wires are automatically
      broken in two if we need to attach a new branch on it (breakAt()).
      And fused back into one if a branch is removed (unify()).

Jean-Paul Chaput abf58190eb Anabatic transient commit 10. Ripup & reroute support in Dijsktra.
* New: In Anabatic:
    - In AnabaticEngine, keep track of overflowed edges.
    - In AnabaticEngine, getNetsFromedge() to lookup all nets going
      through an Edge.
    - In Configuration, read the Kite "reserved local" parameter to
      decrease the Edge capacity (it's a guessing of the cost of the
      local routing).
    - In Edge, add an attribute to know if there is an associated
      segment of the current net (set by Dijkstra::_traceback()).
      Transparently manage the overflowed edges.
    - In GCell_Edges, correct a filtering bug when not all sides are
      selecteds.
    - New GCell::getEdgeTo() to find the edge between two adjacent
      GCells.
    - New GCell::unrefContact() to automatically removes global contacts
      no longer used by any global segments (used during the ripup
      step).
    - In Dijkstra::load(), now able to "reload" and already partially
      or completly routed net (look for Contact of "gcontact" layer
      and their attached segments).
    - In Dijkstra, keep the last net loaded until the next one is.
      Put the cleanup operations in an isolated function "_cleanup()".
    - In Dijkstra::_selectFirstsource() and run(), load first source
      component made of multiple vertexes.
    - In Dijkstra::_trackback(), link the Net segments to the Edges.
    - New Dijkstra::ripup(), Dijkstra::_propagateRipup() to perform
      the ripup of one edge of a Net (must be loaded in Dijkstra first).
      Dijkstra::_tagConnecteds() setup the connexId of a set of Vertexes
    - that are connecteds through edges *with* segments.
    - In GraphicAnabaticengine & GlobalRoute.cpp, embryo of a global
      routing tool with ripup & reroute.

Jean-Paul Chaput 379effd92c Anabatic transient commit 9. Dijkstra::_traceback() replaces _toWires().
* Change: In Anabatic:
    - In Dijkstra, replace _toWires() by _trackback() which is called
      immediatly on reaching a target.
    - In Constants & GCell, added flags for typing the GCells. We now
      have:
        * DeviceGCell, for analogic devices.
        * ChannelGCell, for resizable routing channels.
        * StrutGCell, for fixed spaces in analog designs.
        * MatrixGCell, for square tile in digital designs.

Jean-Paul Chaput 601e3d3da1 Anabatic transient commit 8. More Dijkstra bugs correcteds.
* Bug: In Anabatic:
    - In _propagate(), on reaching a target, forgot to remove it from
      the queue before pushing it back with the new distance. It also
      simplificate the core algorithm as target as treated normal nodes.
* New: In Anabatic:
    - Update cdebug to use the fastest macro version.
    - More readable drawings of GCells and Edges.
    - Added timer support.
    - The distance is now computed in DbU::Unit (aka long) and not in
      normalized float.
    - The distance function is now a callback (std::function<>) that
      can be changed (a default is provided at initialization).
    - New concept of branch in the agglomerated connex component.
      Each trace back part create a "branch" (tagged with a "branchId").
      When a node is reached with the same distance, but from two
      different branches, choose the the branch that was lastly created.
      This create a slightly different tree which grows outward from
      the newest branches.
    - Makes the horizontal edges *slightly* longer than the vertical ones
      to skew the tree to use vertical edges, as it is usually less
      congested than the horiontal one (due to metal1 cell terminals).
      It is also my understanding that it is useful to reduce the
      number of vias, whithout introducing a via cost.
* New: In Bootstrap:
    - Script sprof.py to perform sprof & demangle libraries execution
      profile.
* ToDo: In Anabatic:
    - Corner optimization. Sometimes when two corners are possible, the
      wrong one is choosen. That is, one of it's edge cannot be used for
      further grow of the tree.

Jean-Paul Chaput c5a9e0b617 Anabatic transient commit 7. More Dijkstra bugs correcteds.
* Bug: In Anabatic:
    - Activate the searchArea to limit the area explored by the Dijkstra.
      Uses the bounding boxes of the vertexes/gcells instead of the ones
      the RoutingPads.
    - Always detach contacts from the rings in load(), even if the vertex
      is already marked as target.
    - On reaching a target (non-negative connexId), do not forget to update
      the distance to source.
    - In Edges locator, added support for side selection (needed by the
      monotonic feature).
* New: In Anabatic:
    - Hide the atomic Dijkstra methods (made private).
    - Implementation of the monotonic mode in Dijkstra (for bipoints only).
    - Added a separate function for distance computation between two vertexes,
      now take account of the VIAs costs.

Jean-Paul Chaput d9e124797b Anabatic transient commit 6 "Somatoline, ca marche!".
* Bug: In Anabatic:
    - In Dijktra::load(), do not create Contact while looping over the Net's
      components (for RoutingPads).
    - In Dijkstra::propagate(), reset the connexId of reached Vertexes
      on updating the stamp to avoid using connexId from previous runs.
        Push the vertexes on the queue while backtracking (with a distance
      of 0.0). Do not reset the "_from" as we need it in Dijkstra::toWires()
      to know how were the routing is.
    - In Edge::getDistance(), convert to float more early so the normalisation
      do not always end up in zero.
    - In GCell::_add(), when the axis of the new edge is equal to one already
      on the given side, adds it *after* the existing edge and not before.
      (to be coherent with the way GCells are split in two)
    - In GCell::hcut() and GCell::vcut(), create an Edge if is equal to X/Y Max,
      *but* the new chunk is flat. The new chunk is then expected to expand
      "below".
    - In GraphicsAnabaticEngine::drawGCell(), display the id of the GCell in
      a small box at the center of it's bounding box. Nothing displayed for
      flat GCells, to avoid cluttering.
