* New: In Hurricane, In NetAlias & Net, add an AliasList collection to
iterate over all the aliases names (this *not* include the main
net name).
* New: In Hurricane, In Cell, Instance & Net add support for cloning and
uniquification (update documentation).
All Cells that are uniquified from a given model are kept in an
Uniquify relation. This relation allows to get all the clones and
generate unique clone names by adding a "_uXX" suffix.
* Bug: In Hurricane, the Cell::_isFlattenLeaf attribute was not initialized
in the constructor.
* Change: In CRL Core, in AllianceFramework::getCell(), no longer destroy
a partially loaded Cell in case of parser failure, let the incomplete
Cell be.
* New: In CRL Core, in ApParser, if all the instances are placed, sets the
Cell::Placed flag.
* Change: In CRL Core, in BlifParser, complete rewrite of the parser.
Not so good an idea afterwards...
* New: In Etesian, uniquify the design before placing.
* Change: In Kite, display the list of unrouted wired after all other
statistics.
* Change: In Isobar, the Python interface was not exactly mirroring the
C++ one, now it is the case. The Python code should look likes almost
exactly like the C++ one, the only differences remaining being due
to the languages respective syntaxes. Note that in the case of
constructor functions, it leads to a slightly longer notation in
Python that it could have been (mimic the ".create()" static
member). Main modifications:
1. Mirror the static constructor syntax with create():
Cell( ... ) ==> Cell.create( ... )
2. Correct hierarchy for constants in Instance, Net, Pin
& Transformation. For example:
Hurricane.PlacementStatusFIXED
==> Hurricane.Instance.PlacementStatus.FIXED
Hurricane.OrientationID
==> Hurricane.Transformation.Orientation.ID
Hurricane.TypeLOGICAL ==> Hurricane.Net.Type.LOGICAL
Hurricane.DirectionIN ==> Hurricane.Net.Direction.IN
* Change: In CRL Core, correction to match the improved Python API
in the configutation helpers.
* Change: In Cumulus, correction to match the improved Python API.
* Change: In Stratus, correction to match the improved Python API.
* Change: In Documenation, update for the new Python interface
(both user's guide & examples).
* Note: We must port those changes into Chams for it to continue
to run.
* Change: In Documenation, update the Python script support part.
- New: In PyDataBase, added method for getDB (the correct name, as alias)
and getRootLibrary().
- New: In PyComponent, added support for the optional BasicLayer argument
of getBoundingBox().
- New: In PyEntity, added support for conversion to/from RoutingPad.
- New: In PyHyperNet, added support for getNetOccurrences().
- New: In PyLibrary, added support for getLibrary().
- New: In NetExternalComponents, added support for setExternal().
- 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.
I rewrited everything like it was in Coriolis-1 (PyType_create) and reuse the precedent hierarchical system (PyTypeInheritedObjectDefinition)
With all these changes Pharos is able to run the same script several times without any error (and not only 7 times before crash)
Maybe there are still some bugs but it seems ok for the moment :D.
