- New: Path module to provide a ligthweight alternative to boost::filesystem.
The compatibility change in boost was giving more and more touble and was
not worth it. Path is aimed to provides the same services, but with a
better portability.
- A complete sweep of cleanup to suppress allmost all compiler warnings.
* ./vlsisapd/openchams:
- Change: Completly remove Name as std::string are shared. Also impact
amsCore (OpenChamsParser/OpenChamsDriver).
* ./vlsisapd/configuration:
- Bug: Python.h must be included first (see Isobar comment).
- Change: New "readFromFile()" Configuration method.
- Change: In Parameters, suppress the two separate maps, one for double
and another for string (equations). We shouldn't suppose what kind
of data an user can put in the parameter's value. Now that the
parameters for the HB-Tree are to be integrated, we have not only
double but boolean, integers and a direction string. The value are
now stored in a raw fashion as strings. It is up to the parser/drivers
(i.e OpenChamsParser/OpenChamsDriver) to give meaning to those strings
and interpret them accordingly.
- Change: In Circuit, helper templates (and some non-template) functions
to cast a string into various types. All the POD through stringAs<>
template, plus stringAsDirection() & stringAsBool(). Reverse functions
templates asString<> are also avalaible.
Note: Those helpers are of more general interest, we should displace
them sooner or later into a common "Utility" sub-tool.
- remove callOrder member on Operator
- add order on Instance (to order Devices and Subcircuits)
- update python interface
- update C++/Python parse/drive examples
symmetry becomes orientation and now supports symmetries AND rotations.
There are 8 possible orientations:
ID (identity)
R1 (rotate 90° Counter Clock wise)
R2 (symX and symY)
R3 (rotate 90° Clock Wise)
MX (symX)
XR (symX then rotate 90° Counter Clock Wise)
MY (symY)
YR (symY then rotate 90° Counter Clock Wise)
These orientations exactly copy Hurricane::Transformation::Orientation
- New: In TabDescription, add an "id" field, to be used for filtering
by the file drivers.
- New: in LayoutDescription::writeToStream(), adds a filtering over
the tabs id (same fonctionality as for the parameters).
- New: PyConfiguration extension, build using boost::python.
Not finished yet.
- Bug: In LayoutDescription::buildWidget(), when the parameter associated
to a widget is not found, to not try to adds it. Print a nice error
message and do not core dump...
* New <subCircuitsPathes> section in <circuit> that lists the pathes that contain subCircuits xml files
* New Device object that inherits from simplified Instance object.
- Instance has a name, a model, some connectors and optionnal parameters
- Device has the same attributes plus mosType, sourceBulkConnected and transistors
* Updated readFromFile and wrtieToFile methods to support these modifications
* Updated parse and drive examples to support these modifications
- Note: only C++ examples has been updated since my boost.python environment is actually totaly broken
* New buffer.xml example that uses subCircuits.

Recently adds have been adjusted in PyDtr.py
Examples have been updated (c++ is tested, python fails on my Mac due to a strange python2.6.6 behavior I have to check this)
getRule method of Techno does not throw exception anymore if rule is not found : a NULL Rule* is returned instead.
but getValue methods throw exception if rule is not found
- 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.
