- Change: Add support for chip-level nets. POWER/GROUND/CLOCK as signals.
- Bug: Reorder import so that CRL is always imported first so that the
problem of duplicated type_info RTTI doesn't show.
- Bug: Uses correct Contact with for rings.
- Bug: Reorder import so that CRL is always imported first so that the
problem of duplicated type_info RTTI doesn't show.
- New: In BuilPowerRails & BuildBlockage, specific support for chip-level
design. The Alliance "top chip" design hierarchical structure is
hard-coded. Top level POWER/GROUND/CLOCK nets must always have the
<vsse>, <vdde>, <ck>, <vssi>, <vddi>, <ckc>, <cki> names.
Specific method to get trans-hierarchical root nets, espcially in
case of global ones (POWER/GROUND). Clock is *not* global.
Some correction in the manner obscured tracks are computeds.
- New: ProtectRoutingPad module that perform a more clean work for protecting
unused RoutingPad.
- Bug: In BuildPowerRails, uses stable_sort<> instead of sort<>, which
causes unexplained core dumps (seems to try to perform a comparison
using the "end" pseudo element). Already occured in Knik, no explanation
other than a STL bug.
- Change: Slight changes in the weights to move up. Now needs a full empty
track instead of a half one.
- Change: In loadGlobalRouting(), more exlicit message as to why a net is
filtered out the routing set (POWER, GROUND, CLOCK or BLOCKAGE).
- New: ChipTool, module with utilities specific to chip routing. Containing
a function to pre-break wires around a block.
- New: In loadGlobalRouting/GCellConfiguration, adds supports for RoutingPad
connected on chip's pad.
- New: In GCellGrid/GCell, can compute the density in three modes: average,
max of H/V and max of layer. Currently implemented in getMaxHVDensity(),
should be unificated with getDensity(). Used for display purposes.
- Bug: In AutoContact, when splitting a contact, add a specific check for
"one layer span".
- Bug: In AutoSegment::canMoveUp(), do not move up fixed segments.
- Bug: In Edge::getCost(), when the edge capacity is null, return maximum
cost (HUGE).
- Bug: In Knik::saveSolution(), saves only Segments that belongs to global
routing, that is in GMetalH/GMetalV.
- New: In Utilities, uses the new Backtrace to print the stack before
core-dumping.
- New: In Environment, pattern recognition of Pad model names.
- New: In AllianceFramework, pattern recognition of Pad model names.
- Bug: In Measures, add inspector support and uses pointer to prevent using
copy construction. Makes the inspector to core-dump.
- New: In RoutingLayerGauge, inspector support for Constant::Direction.
- Change: In ApDriver, correct managment of BIGVIA sizes. BIGVIA in one
metal keep their sizes, but BIGVIA whith cut must be expandeds to
contains their enclosure in metals. In Hurricane VIA size are relatives
to the cut but in Alliance, to the biggest metal.
Generate correct direction (always UP or RIGHT) for segments.
- Change: In ApParser, shrink BIGVIA to the size of their cut from the
Alliance format. Avoid VIA "bloating".
More thorough verification of Segment data coherency, mainly with
direction.
Suppress warning of non-existent logical instance in the special
case of "padreal".
- Change: In VstParserGrammar, perform an explicit plug connection on globals
Nets if the names of globals Nets differs.
- New: In display.xml, add style for printers (B&W).
- Bug: In technology.symbolic.xml, BLOCKAGE6 was associated to metal6 instead
of blockage6.
Correct extensions value for VIA metal layers above cut1.
- Bug: In Utilities, in System singleton constructor check of duplicated
type_info/RTTI initialization. Occurs when python modules are useds.
CRL must always be included first.
- 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 Parameter, adds a priority for all the mutators method calls.
Allows to sets values according to where they came from instead of
only taking the last change. This is needed because we cannot ensure
that the last sets value is the truly wanted one. Four priorities
are avalaibles (in increasing order):
1. - ApplicationBuiltin (the default).
2. - ConfigurationFile (currently: the XML parser).
3. - CommandLine (supplied by the command line, see Unicorn).
4. - Interactive (changed through ConfigurationWidget).
- New: In ConfigurationWidget, hideTabs()/showTabs() to explicitly select
which tabs are displayeds or hidden. Two modes are avalaibles:
Incremental and Exact. In Exact mode only hidden tabs are hiddens and
only shown tabs are shown.
- Change: In ConfigurationWidget/ConfTabWidget/ParameterWidget, no longer
relies on the Widget parent/child tree to find the ConfigurationWidget
from a ParameterWidget (consequence of the hide/show capability which
is implemented by cutting off hidden tabs). Adds an explicit attribute.
- 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.
- Change: In ConfigurationWidget, two separate signals for "confOk" and
"needRestart", rewrite of the "apply clicked" method.
- Bug: In LogEntry::restore(), uses correct flags on Paramater::setString().
- Change: Internal rewrite of the check function, now named _doChange()
and shared by all mutators.
- Change: Logs now contains entries with the last correct value and are
able to restore that value.
- Change: LogWidget simplificated, only one message label. But now two
buttons (Continue/Cancel).
- Change: In ConfigurationWidget, two steps validation "mustExist" then
"needRestart".
- New: Attributes "needRestart", "mustExist", "isFile" and "isPath".
- New: Display a warning message when a parameter with mustExist or
needRestart is modificated.
- New: In ConfigurationWidget, method selectTab() to select the current
displayed tab.
- Change: In Configuration::writeToFile() and writeToStream(), adds a
third parameter telling which parameter to save. It's a semicolon
separated list of parameter head id. Example: "kite;mauka".
- Bug: In FilePathEdit, do not sets the file/path if the Dialog has been
cancelled.
- Bug: In FilePathEdit, do not uses the native dialog (called by static
methods) when under Linux/GtkStyle as the native widget seems to be
badly linked (bug in GtkStyle?).
- New: Integrate the FilePathEdit widget, courtesy of D. Dupuis.
- Bug: In ConfEditorMain, new boolean switch to allow disable of GtkStyle
which make FilePathEdit to coredump (Linux feature only!).
- New: In Configuration, write methods are ables to completly drive the
XML file (values & layout), selectable through flags.
- New: In ConfigurationWidget, the Apply button is now outside the
tabs. Also adds two modes: Embedded & StandAlone with different sets
of buttons.
