Jean-Paul Chaput d8fc626678 Attempt to close all UpdateSession after catching an exception.
* New: In Hurricane::UpdateSession, added "reset()" static function to
   close all the currently opened sessions.
* New: In Hurricane::ExceptionWidget::catchAllwrapper(), close all
    pending UpdateSession if the user choose to resume.
2016-09-10 11:13:52 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 6562792e53 Delay materialization of new objects until the UpdateSession::close().
* Change: In Hurricane::Go, instead of immediatly materializing a newly
    created Go (inserting it in a QuadTree) delay it until the closing
    of the UpdateSession. We call "invalidate()" in "_postCreate()"
    instead of "materialize()". This way, the abutment box of Gos is
    taken into account only when the session is closed. There was a
    problem when the abutment box was changing after the object creation
    misleading the algorithm of the QuadTree. This was occuring only
    when an object was created, not modificated, because in the later case
    the Session mechanism was used. Now, the Session mechanism is used
    in all cases.
      As a side effect, it will speed up the parser by making all QuadTree
    insertions in one step.
* Change: In Hurricane::JsonCell, forgot to call Cell::materialize() when
    the Cell is completed (as was done in ordinary parsers). The call is
    made in the destructor of the JsonCell.
* Change: In Hurricane::Cell, add QuadTree in the inspector support.

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 4aec49e08a Allows multiple backtraces objects, as long as they are fully created. 2016-08-10 16:13:21 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f7e981a840 Fix bug & compatibility issues with Qt 5.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in NetlistWidget CTOR, the horizontal header was set
    up assuing that there was (at least) three sections (column) in the
    model, which was wrong. Now it is done in the setCell() method which
    know the exact number of sections.
      It was a bug in both Qt 4 & 5, but was showing only under Qt 5.

Jean-Paul Chaput 675e20867b In Backtrace, prevent looping when an error occur inside itself.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Backtrace, under RHEL 6 when the package
    <devtoolset-2-binutils-devel> is *not* installed, Backtrace uses the
    wrong "bfd.h" from the system instead of the one from the devtoolset2,
    causing itself to core.
      The Backtrace, then try to create a second Backtrace from this
    error, generating an infinite loop. To prevent this situation add a
    counter so that only one Backtrace can be created at a any time.
    And incidentally display a more meaningful error message along with
2016-08-09 11:49:55 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 3835d6f7ad Diplay function, file & line number in the backtrace (like gdb).
* New: In Bootstrap, add cmake detection for libbfd.
* New: In Hurricane, in Backtrace, add BFD support to read debuginfo from
    the shared libraries (aka DSO) when compiled with "-g". This avoid the
    tedious step of running gdb after generating a core dump. It is also
    mandatory in ExceptioWidget to known from where an exception was thrown
    as Qt::notify() block all C++ exceptions.
      Currently works only under Linux (gcc or clang), may be extended in
    the future.
      The BFD reading is based on the small utility from:
          Don Hatch (hatch@plunk.org)
          http://www.plunk.org/~hatch/goodies/backtracefilt.C
      And small trinket: adjust the size of the window for high DPI screens.
* New: In CRL Core & Unicorn add link toward libbfd, if needed.

Jean-Paul Chaput 9808fb12b2 Solve the template lookup problem in tstream.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in tstream (Commons.h), in the *template* overload of
    operator<<(), do not use the operator<<() of ostream as it will be
    looked up in "stage 1" (template definition) and so will miss all the
    overloads added later and built over getString<>(). Instead, make use
    of getString<>(), which, as another template will be looked up in
    "stage 2" (template instanciation) and at that point will have all the
    needed template specialisation of getString<>().
      We also need to define new stream manipulators to be able to create
    a matching template overload not dependant from the implementation.
    To avoid name clashes, we prefix a 't'. For now, only 'tsetw()' is
    refined.
      As a side effect, we cannot directly print bit-fields into the stream,
    we must go through an intermediate variable (happens once in AutoContact).

Jean-Paul Chaput 36a982ce47 Merge branch 'devel' into devel_anabatic
Catch up the Lemon removal and cdebug correction.
2016-06-11 21:58:25 +02:00
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.
2016-06-11 21:56:12 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 23d6ae55fd Solve the overlap in Layers&Go extensions entries.
* Bug: In Hurricane::PaletteWidget, flush the normal widgets before reading
    the position of the Extension entry (from GridBuffer).
2016-06-06 01:07:54 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 747027f23a Simplification of the Hurricane::Observer mechanism.
* Change: In Hurricane::Observer, simplification of the template so that
    we can use it directly instead of creating a derived class with an
    implementation of Observer::notify(). Now the implemenation is the
    same for all and just calls a notify() method on the owner object.
      Create a StaticObservable for fast access of the observers. This
    is mainly a fixed size table (array<>) with oberservers at known
    indexes. This way we can go from the obervable to the observer
    owner in one indirect access (or so I hope).
* Change: In Hurricane::CellViewer, use the new observers.
* Change: In Hurricane::ControllerWidget, use the new observers.
* Change: In Hurricane::CellWidget, set the winidow initial size to a
   more sensible 500px.
* Change: In CRL::LibraryManager, use the new observers.
* Change: In CRL::LibraryManager, use the new observers.
* Change: In CRL, in display.conf & technology.conf, modification for
    the ST hcmos9gp capacitors.
2016-06-03 17:19:46 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 1f4d6b7e83 Anabatic transient commit 4.
* New: In Anabatic:
    - A Dijkstra skeleton, not debugged yet.
2016-05-30 11:30:29 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a4655aec8b Anabatic transient commit 2.
* Change: In Hurricane, in CellWidget, enable the drawing of ExtensionGos
    according to the the threshold paramaters (as layers do).
* Change: In CRL Core, provide DrawingStyle for Anabatic::GCell &
    Anabatic::Edge. Use the exact name of the ExtensionGo.
      In kite.conf, add settings for the size of an edge as the optimal
    size may change between analog & digital designs.
* New: In Anabatic:
    - Support for fast position query using a matrix.
    - Computation of the Edge capacity, based on the routing gauge parameters.
    - Graphic display of the edges capacity. Added configuration
      parameters to size the bounding box of an Edge.
* Bug: In Anabatic:
    - GCell::_moveEdges was both too complex (some cases never arise the
      way we divide GCells) and bugged.
2016-05-26 13:56:16 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f11be897ef Remove Anabatic from cgt. Index numbering in vector slot.
* Bug: In Unicorn, in cgt.py, do not import Anabatic as it is not present
    yet in the devel branch.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Commons.h, in the vector slot template, start
    index at 0 and not 1 (to closer to the internal representation).
* Change: In ExtensionGo, forgotten trace system calls to update.
2016-05-23 16:02:57 +02:00
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.
2016-05-17 23:00:06 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f2c036ac6d Corrections in C-Python interface required by Analagic (CHAMS).
* Change: In Hurricane, in PyHurricane.h, in all DirectSet*() macros,
    suppress the third parameter giving the function name. It is now
    build from stringification of other parameters.
      The various macros calls are also modificated all througout
    Isobar.
      Added PyAny_AsInt() to convert a Python Int or Long into an int.
    Maybe we should manage only long, because the type difference seems
    ambiguous in Python itself.
* Change: In Hurricane, in PyHurricane.h, in DirectGetBoolAttribute()
    deduce the function name to display in messages from the arguments.
      Idem for DirectIsAFromCStringAttribute(), DirectGetIntAttribute(),
    DirectGetUIntAttribute(), DirectGetDoubleAttribute() and
    DirectGetStringAttribute().
* New: In Hurricane, in PyHurricane.h, new macro DirectGetNameAttribute()
    to build accessors for method returning a Name.
* New: In Hurricane, in PyHurricane.h, new macro DirectSetIntAttribute()
    to build modificators taking int arguments.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in PyHurricane.h, in macro DirectSetBoolAttribute(),
    the check for a boolean PyObject was wrong, leading the macro to
    systematically emit a Python exception.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in PyInstance method table, PyLibrary_create() was
    registered as a NOARGS function, but it *do* have arguments, change
    to VARARGS.
2016-05-01 15:50:27 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 506ccbd589 Correct a security check in PyHurricane.h.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in PyHurricane.h, the macro GENERIC_METHOD_HEAD was
    not checking at all that the underlying Hurricane object was not NULL.
    This may have lead to core-dumps.
2016-04-13 18:30:45 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a4e46444e2 Various problems in the BLIF parser.
* In CRL Core, in BlifParser, when an input terminal of an instance is
    either connected to power or ground, insert a zero_x0 or one_x0
    Cell to avoid direct connection to the supply (the router is not
    able to do it). The names and terminals of the intermediate cells
    are hard-wired for now (to SxLib).
      When merging Nets, always merge internal nets into external ones
    as the other way around is not always legal.
2016-04-04 17:54:09 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput d641f236a3 Suppress warnings when flatening a Cell twice.
* In Hurricane, in Cell::flattenedNets(), if the cell has already been
    flattened, do not issue warnings about duplictated flattened nets.
* In Hurricane, in Net, allow Net::setName() to switch the main name
    for an alias without complaining about an already used name.
* In Cumulus, in RSavePlugin.py, when "views" is supplied in keywords
    (kw) arguments, override the default instead of merging with it.
    This is to allow scripts to save exactly what views they want.
2016-04-02 14:47:10 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 6ad644fac2 New relation for slaved ABs. Do *not* delete blockage nets.
* Change: In Hurricane, in DataBase::CellDepths() the recursion stop
    criterion must be Cell::isLeaf() and not Cell::isTerminal() as
    the second one can be used to hide some levels of hierarchy,
    and we want all of them in a blob.
* New: In Hurricane, in Cell, create a new Slaveds relation to keep
    track of all the Cells with a slaved abutment box. This work is
    incomplete as we do not manage the behavior in case of merge or
    Cell destruction or slaving Cells with aready slaveds ones.
      Modify Cell::setAbutmentBox() to work in both autonomous and
    slaved mode.
* New: In Hurricane, in Net, add a new type of Net: BLOCKAGE this
    avoid us to be dependant on the framework pattern recognition.
    (change propagated to the Python support)
* New: In CRL Core, in the various drivers, recognize blockage nets
    as such and set their type accordingly.
* Change: In CRL, in Toolbox::deleteEmptyNets(), preserve blockage
    Nets. This was the cause of crashs in Kite::BuildPowerRails() as
    we where trying to use a deleted blockage net...
* Bug: In Hurricane, in NetAlias, do not write NetAlias as a name
    but as a type. They were not read back and moreover staying in
    the JSON parser stack.
2016-03-30 17:47:00 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput bbab2d14eb Bug, uniquification of unique cells.
* In Hurricane: In Instance::slaveAbutmentBox() and Instance::uniquify()
    use isUnique() instead of isUniquified(). This way we do not clone
    masterCells that are unique in the design. This was the reason
    sometimes "holes" were appearing in the visualiser, as the AB were
    not merged. The uniqification policy may need some refinement.
2016-03-27 17:13:30 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput b5d3a2ec3c Update JsonReader for the latest RapidJSON. Doc rebuild.
* Change: In Hurricane, in JsonReader::HurricaneHandler, add RawNumber().
    Don't know what kind of data it parses, so for now if it's called,
    just issue a warning.
* Bug: In documentation, in UsersGuide, add dependencies on doc_HTML and
    doc_LaTeX so they are rebuild if the source files changes.
      Some modifications to work with our new installation of TeXLive 2014.
2016-03-22 15:38:26 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 1ef4bc122f Forgot to catch Bug exception. GCell manage 5 terminals of a Net.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in HApplication, ExceptionWidget ans PyHurricane.h,
    forgot to catch the Hurricane::Bug exception which was leading to
    terminate() without explanations.
* Change: In Katabatic, In GCellTopology, now support one GCell with
    five metal1 terminal of the same net. This unlikely configuration
    did appear in the SNX for the first time...
2016-03-17 16:54:53 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput da60370b60 Various bugs in the virtual flattening mechanism (part 2).
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Cell_HyperNetRootNetOccurrences::Locator, must
    also check that the current Net is not a DeepNet in the constructor.
    Take the occasion to prune Net that are automatic.
* Change: In Hurricane, in DeepNet::_createRoutingPads(), check for
    already created RoutingPads. That is, the DeepNet must not have
    RoutingPad components or Segments components.
2016-03-15 17:55:48 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 33355f0e54 Various bugs in the virtual flattening mechanism.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Cell::flattenNets(), addition to the topHyperNets
    vector was done *inside* the components loop, resulting in multiple
    additions of the same top net. This was leading to the RoutingPads
    created multiple times on the same connectors. Hence the conflict in
    KiteEngine::protectRoutingPads().
* Change: In Hurricane, in Cell::flattenNets(), do not create RoutingPads
    or build rings on already routed Nets. A Net is considered already
    routed if it has at least one Segment. This way we avoid Rubbers to
    be drawn over routed Nets.
* Change: In Hurricane, in DeepNet, do not build RoutingPads & rings on
    already routed Nets (same condition as in Cell::flattenNets()).
* New: In Hurricane, in HyperNet, new collection of all component
    occurrences of an HyperNet. May or may not (default) include
    components from the leaf cells.
2016-03-13 19:35:56 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ae0e6aed25 Disable the merged quad-tree feature, no so bright an idea.
* Bug: In Hurricane, In Cell, the quad-tree cannot be mergeds because
    when a geometrical search is performed, components, and even more
    importantly, instances from lower hierarchical levels will be
    reported. And there is no simple way to discriminate them.
* Change: In Hurricane, Cell & Instance, change the flag of
    MergedQuadTree into SlavedAb.
* Bug: In Hurricane, In Instance::slaveAbutmentBox(), the AB of the
    master model must be set before calling setPlacementStatus()
    otherwise the Instance do not get inserted into the quad-tree
    (empty AB).
2016-03-11 14:04:31 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput de401b13d9 In ScriptWidget, keep the name of the script between two calls. 2016-02-27 12:29:51 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 0f1775a77c Corrected bugs in the print feature.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in CellWidget, do *not* rescale iteratively the _initialSide
    attribute under high DPI (do it once).
* Bug: In Hurricane, in CellPrinter, suppress the divide by 4 scaling of the
    printer widget. Don't remember why I did so, and it generate too small
    pictures.
2016-02-25 14:31:29 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput cdacecd32b More destructives iterations over collections correcteds.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Entity, Instance, Library, Net & Technology, there
    loop over collections while destroying their elements.
2016-02-24 10:44:33 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput b57c81dda8 Bug in Cell::_preDestroy().
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Cell::_preDestroy(), the classic mistake again:
    do not iterate over a collection while deleting it's elements.
    Now should be safe.
* Change: In CRL Core, set the default display style to "Alliance.Classic [black]"
    (my favorite).
2016-02-23 17:19:42 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f28daec401 Handling of Cell destruction in CellViewer.
* Change: In bootstrap, in socInstaler.sh, use the current version of
    rapidjson.
* Change: In Hurricane, in FileWriteGzStream, complie to the latest
    rapidjson headers organization.
* New: In Hurricane, in Cell, emit a new signal CellDestroyed toward the
    observers (i.e. the CellViewer(s)), from _preDestroy().
* Change: In Hurricane, in CellViewer, in CellObserver::notify(), manage
    the CellDestroyed case. Do not forget to remove the deleted Cell
    from the viewer's history.
2016-02-23 10:48:26 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 0efe75af00 Implementation of DataBase native save/restore in JSON (step 3).
* Test: post-receive hook on server should send mail [1].
* New: In VLSISAPD, in Parameter, callback have now a tag, which the
    pointer to the caller. This allow for the callback removal when
    the caller is destroyed.
* New: In VLSISAPD, in WidgetDescription, when associated to a parameter,
    the destructor must remove the associated callback function on
    the Parameter.
* New: In Hurricane, added JSON support for Configuration, separated
    from vlsisapd, as the support is not available at this point.
    JSON support for Configuration, Parameter & LayoutDescription.
* Change: In Hurricane, in JsonStack, the stack of JsonObjects has been
    displaced here from HurricaneHandler. This way, all
    JsonObject::toData() can access the JsonOjects in the context
    of the parser.
* New: In Hurricane, in DBo::toJson() added support for Entity by
    reference (ids).
* New: In Hurricane, added JSON support for all Layer sub-class types.
* New: In Hurricane, in Technology, export the Layers, but must be
   sorted by increasing mask value.
* New: In Hurricane, in Entity, added support for Entity by reference (ids).
* New: In Hurricane, in DataBase, added technology full support.
* New: In Hurricane, In JsonNet, move the ring rebuild management from
    JsonStack to JsonNet.
* New: In Hurricane, added JSON support for NetAlias, NetExternalcomponents
    (not cleanly implemented as a Relation).
* New: In Hurricane, new method Cell::fromJson() to load a cell from
    a JSON file.
* New: In Hurricane, In Graphics, make it an observable, for when JSON
    fully reload the graphic state, it must be able to notify other
    objects (namely the Controller).
* New: In Hurricane, in ControllerWidget, observe the Graphics to regenerate
    the palette as needed. New method ControllerTab::graphicsUpdated().
* New: In Hurricane, in RawDrawingStyle added a destructor to release the
    Qt pen/brush. Added JSON support for HSVr, DrawingStyle, DrawingGroup,
    & DisplayStyle.
* New: In Hurricane, in GraphicsWidget, rewrite correctly the readGraphics()
    to erase the previous widgets and re-create the new ones.
* New: In Hurricane, in PaletteWidget, correct re-creation of the layout/widgets
    in case of Graphics change.
* New: In CRL Core, in System, register the parameters callbacks with
    the address of the object, for later deletion.
* New: In CRL Core, in AllianceFramework, make it observable, to notify
    library changes. For the AllianceFramework creation, now allow to
    completly bypass the Python initialization system, when we expect
    to restore it from a full blob. Added methods to sets the default
    RoutingGauge & CellGauge.
* New: In CRL Core, added JSON suppport for CellGauge, RoutingLayerGauge
    & RoutingGauge.
* New: In CRL Core, in LibraryManager, oberver AllianceFramework, to update
    the list of libraries in case of change (for JSON full reload).

Jean-Paul Chaput 5baddeb558 Implementation of DataBase native save/restore in JSON (step 2).
* New: In boostrap, in ccb.py, added support for the "support" project
    which contains external dependencies. Currently contains only
    RapidJSON. Those dependencies must be cloned here manually.
* New: In Hurricane, Initializer class for an ordered static initialization
    across different compilation modules.
* Change: In Hurricane, at DataBase level, no longer save the Cells in
    the libraries, but create and ordered list of Cell. Deepest cells
    (leaf cells) first. To avoid dependency problems.
* New: In Hurricane, JSON support for Property.
* New; In CRL, added JSON support for AllianceFramework, Environement &
    Catalog and their associated properties. Adjustment of the

Jean-Paul Chaput f537a10d45 Implementation of DataBase native save/restore in JSON (step 1).
* New: In Hurricane, added first support for DataBase native import/export
    using JSON.
      We choose RapidJSON, in SAX mode, to manage the JSON format low level
    Read/Write. Thus, it's Git repository http://github.com/miloyip/rapidjson
    must be added under ~/coriolis-2.x/src and manually build and installed
    in the Coriolis installation tree (to be integrated in ccb later).
      Two mode are being supported:
        1. Cell mode: one Cell only is saved. In that mode, Entities
           referred by Occurrences are "outside" the file. They are coded
           through their "signature" (mostly, all the values of their
           attributes). The ids saved in the file cannot be restored
           identically as we cannot predict when and in which context the
           Cell will be reloaded.
        2. Design Blob mode: the whole design hierarchy, down and including
           the standard cells is saved. This way the design is completly
           self contained and Entities ared referred through their ids.
           A design blob can only be loaded immediatly after starting cgt
           as the DataBase *must* be empty. This way we restore the whole
           design hierarchy with *exactly* the same ids.
      Now, Hurricane object should provide a "toJson()" method for driving
    JSON, and be associated with a JsonObject derived class for parsing.
* New: In Hurricane, ability to force the next id that will be used for a
    DBo (used by Design Blob Mode).
* New: In Hurricane, in DataBase, added getCell() and getLibrary() functions
    to allow the hierarchical access of a Cell/Library in native mode
    (i.e. whithout the requirement of AllianceFramework).
* New: In Hurricane, In CellViewer, added menu entry for Save/Load of
    JSON Design Blobs. Added at this level because we consider it as the
    "native" format of Hurricane.
* New: In Unicorn, added support of import/export of JSON Cell.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Instance, when cloning an Instance or uniquifying
    it's master Cell, we forgot about the Occurrences (through shared pathes).
    When an instance is cloned the Shared pathes still points toward the
    original Instance. And when it's the master Cell that is uniquifyed
    it's the Entities pointed to that remains in the original Cell.
    This is a software design problem. It is difficult to define what
    policy to adopt when uniquifying: basically that means that one
    Occurence is either moved onto the clone or duplicated. Furthermore,
    it is not trivial to known what Occurrence is pointing on the
    uniquifyed/cloned item. Have to think about it a little more.
* Bug: In Etesian, in EtesianEngine, build the flattened nets and their
    RoutingPads *after* uniquifying (through slaving bounding boxes).
    This way we avoid the Occurrences problem described above.
* Bug: In Etesian, in EtesianEngine, invalidate the RoutingPad after
    processing the placement so they are put into the right quadtree.
    This problem is due to the fact that the RoutingPads do not belong
    to the Instance that they refer. And when this instance is moved
    around, she doesn't inform the RoutingPad that is has moved.
    More software architecture design to review...

Jean-Paul Chaput 2c6bee30ad Minor style change (beautifying). 2015-09-06 17:25:49 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 8ead28d86c In the Netlist tab of the Controller, add a count of RoutingPads.
* New: In Hurricane, in NetlistWidget & NetlistModel, adds a column for
    the RoutingPads count. Special display to mark global nets.
* Change: In Hurricane, in all MVC's models, some improvements on the
    way the columns are sized and the titles displayeds.
2015-07-25 11:55:42 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ff69a2ef74 Added Hierarchy browser to the Controller.
* New: In Hurricane, added hierarchy browser in the controller.
    The hierarchy is presented as a tree. New MVC, HierarchyInformations,
    HierarchyModel and HierarchyBrowser.
      When using a data model which is not directly connect inside the
    model, we must use the internalPointer field of the QModelIndex.
    But this field is also used by the QSortFilterproxymodel, this
    prevent using it with a Tree model.
      The filter is directly implemented and is specific to each
    Instance entry.
* Change: In CellWidget & CellWidget::State, now store the Cell and
    a Path, this way we can keep track of the hierarchy when browsing.
    The Path is in the State and so propagated back to the Controller.
* Change: In HierarchyCommand, use the Path with setCell().

Jean-Paul Chaput ae6eeb8f56 Merged QuadTrees in overlayed Cells (placed together).
* New: In Hurricane, in Cell & Instance, add the ability to merge the
    QuadTree when *second level* instances of a Cell are placed in
    the same space as the top Cell. This is the case of a deeply
    hierarchical design made of only standard cells that are to
    be placed in a "flat" manner.
      The design is uniquified then the intermediate instances models,
    which should be unique at that point have their QuadTree merged
    through a call to Instance::slaveAbutmentBox(). That method will
    make the model of the instance use the QuadTree of the Cell to
    which the instance belong. The instance model no longer posseses
    a dedicated QuadTree. As a corollary the abutment box of both
    Cell are kept identical and the Instance has it's transformation
    set to (0,0,ID).
      Remark: when we talk about "QuadTree", we mean in fact the
    QuadTree for the instances *and* the SliceMap (Layer+QuadTree).
      Consequence in Query: when going through the resulting
    "flattened" QuadTree we will find objects with an incomplete
    Path du to the fact that we didn't have to explore their
    Instance/Cell level to reach them. The shunted part of the
    Path is stored in the Go master Cell in the _shuntedPath
    attribute. This also affect the displayed depth of hierarchy,
    but not too badly.
* New: In Hurricane, in Cell, new methods:
    - Cell::updatePlacedFlag() : set the placement flags.
    - Cell::isUnique() : one or less instance.
    - Cell::isUniquified() : is the result of an uniquification.
    - Cell::isUniquifyMaster() : is the reference cell of the
    uniquification.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Cell::Uniquify(), uniquify a Cell only
    if it is unplaced. We do not need to duplicate placed Cells
    (see datapathes).

Jean-Paul Chaput f0ebf8de6d In Hurricane, update the copyright year to 2015 (at last!). 2015-06-21 18:02:35 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 09d4e488ba In Cell, separate flattenNets() and createRoutingPadRings().
* New: In Hurricane, in Cell, no longer create rings of RoutingPads when
    flattening the nets. Put that functionnality into a separate method
    ::createRoutingPadRings().
      This allow to perform the Net flattening in Etesian *without*
    the rings, which slow it down. Then the rings are created by
    Knik/Kite. This also solves the double ring creation when doing
    P&R of a complete chip (rings where created twice: in the core
    block for Etesian and at chip level for Kite).
* Change: In Etesian, slight beautification of the printed informations.

Jean-Paul Chaput fcb4acadad Improvements & bugs corrections in the LEF/DEF importer/exporter.
* Bug: In Hurricane, In NetAlias::removeAlias(), perform the isMaster()
    check on the *current* hook, not the *this* one... Was preventing the
    removal of most aliases.
* New: In CRL Core, in DefExport, perform a virtual flatten before exporting
    a design. Replace the hard-wired "sxlib" gauge by the current default
    one. More secure management of flattened instance and net names (removal
    of all potentially special characters). In net names, correct management
    of vectorized names (do not systematically add "_net" at the end).
      In DefImport, manage the BUSBITS property and revectorize accordingly
    the net names. When loading nets, systematically remove the alias of
    the temporary net "__prebuild__" (a bug in NetAlias was preventing it).
      In LefExport, the right value of MANUFACTURINGGRID in pseudo symbolic
    mode is 0.5 (expressed in lamba). That way all length are even multiples
    of it. Note that there is still the order bug of the 5.7 drivers that
    puts that entry *before* UNITS in the LEF file (bad bad Cadence).

Jean-Paul Chaput e9369ab905 Bug in Instance::getClone() generating unplaced copies.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in Instance::getClone(), the Instance::create()
    was called with a wrong number of parameters, causing the the
    wrong overload to be called. The position was thus not copied
    generating an unplaced copy. This was causing error in the
    AM2901/datapath bench, because fixed blocks where becoming
    unfixed.
* Bug: In <bootstrap>, in coriolisEnv (again) an error in the
    detection of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Jean-Paul Chaput 4bf5cf74b4 Policy CMP0022 for CMake. Forgotten library in Unicorn link. 2015-06-11 18:01:39 +02:00
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...

Jean-Paul Chaput 51043df640 Merge "collections" branch from <github> (G. Gouvine).
* New: In Hurricane, in Collection add simple STL iterator support.
    So now the C++11 "for" instruction can be used instead of the
    in-house "forEach".
      Example:
         forEach ( Component*, icomponent, net->getComponents() ) {
           cout << (*icomponent) << endl;
         }
      Become:
         for ( Component icomponent : net->getComponents() ) {
           cout << icomponent << endl;
         }
