- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./crlcore:
- New: In Utilities, cbug stream to separate all the scary messages
from Kite/Katabatic and maybe others.
- New: In stratus1.conf, adds default settings previously in st_config.
- New: Moves Python configuration helpers from under /etc/coriolis2
into PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES/crlcore. Adapt Utilities so coriolisInit.py
is now searched in that directory. This way only true configuration
files remains under /etc/coriolis2
- Change: In helpers/__init__.py, do not try to guess the sysConfDir
when not run through coriolisInit.py. This is done by exploring the
call stack with traceback.
- Change: In ApDriver, when a physical view is driven, update the flag
in the catalog state telling that this view is present. This is far
from satisfactory as this flag should be set as soon as any physical
component is created.
- A complete sweep of cleanup to suppress allmost all compiler warnings.
* ./crlcore:
- New: Extented Python support for all objects needed to configure Coriolis.
- New: Configuration files and load helpers completly written in Python.
An XML emulation mode is still avalaible.
- New: UsersGuide, as a replacement for README, written in ReST.
- New: Start of Doxygen documentation (mostly for documenting the initialisation
objects & methods).
- New: Install a general index for the HTML documentation.
- Bug: In cyclop CMakeLists, forgot to list all the needed libraries for
the linker.
- New: Support of Python installation layout under Ubuntu 10.04.
lib/python2.6/dist-packages
- New: Inspector support enabled for AllianceFramework and most of it's
sub-objects. Attached as a property on the DataBase to be browsable
through the Inspector.
- Change: Now also read a <.coriolis2.configuration.xml> in the user's
root account (before the directory specific one and after the system-
wide).
- Change: In verbose mode, also display what environment files are being
read.
- Change: No more reference to CRL_CATA_LIB in error messages.
- Change: Suppress stratus2sxlib obsolete library.
- 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: In tools.configuration.xml, add default values for METAL minimum break
lengths.
- Change: In AcmSigda, makes the parser an autonomous one, like for ICCAD or
ISPD.
- Change: Remove AcmSigda, Bookshelf and LEF/DEF parsers from the Alliance
builtins. They are now to be used through import/export.
- Bug: In Utilities, the <misc.logMode> parameter boolean parameter was used
the wrong way (true/false).
- New: In Utilities, automatic setting of STRATUS_MAPPING_NAME. It's put
back into the environment from the configuration. This suppress the
need for the last environment variable under cgt.
- Change: New problem identified with the Python modules: each module seems
to be built as a complete binary, so all the static C++ initializers are
allocated in each module. In particular the C++ tree inheritance is built
for *each* module so we cannot longer uses the typeid() comparisons
across modules... It was used by boost::program_options to perform is
casts with boost::any and was starting throwing exceptions because of
bad casts. program_option was first initialized in "configuration"
first included by PyViewer then in PyCRL (see Utilities.cpp).
A first solution is to re-order the import of Python modules in
stratus1/st_model so that CRL is imported first.
The second is to not not link "configuration" with boost::program_option
as only the binary vlsisapd-conf-editor needs it.
That is a serious problem of which we must be aware and can cause further
strange behaviors.
Debug code used to diagnostic has been kept commented in the sources a
it may be needed again :-(
This behavior do not affect our singletons because they are part of
dynamic libraries that seems to be correctly shared between the various
Python modules.
* ./crlcore:
- In PyCRL, module method "getAllianceFramework()" moved as static object
method "get()" of AllianceFramework. Object AllianceFramework added
to module CRL.
- Bug: target_link_libraries() must be put back for OSX Snow Leopard
(doesn't seems to affect Leopard). As I do not have an OSX under
my hand it's untested and is likely to fail at that point.
* ./crlcore:
- New: PyCatalog & PyCatalogState python wrappers, mainly to have constants
values for stratus1 parsers/drivers.
- Library linking: there must not be "target_link_library()" for libraries,
only when building binaries. Avoid clashes between static module
or class variables, and strange reinitialisation of those variables.
- Change: Boost is now always linked staticly.
* ./crlcore:
- Change: In System, static initialisation problem again, there seems to
be a race between it and boost::filesystem, make the singleton creation
"at first call" again. Triggers the System singleton creation in
AllianceFramework to spare the user the need to explicitly doing it.
- New: In Utilities, automatically adds the "site-packages" PYTHONPATH
component, guessed from CORIOLIS_TOP.
- New: In <tools.configuration.xml>, added parameters for verbosity, info
and trace level.
- New: Uniform mecanism to get the "/etc" path. Now System reads the
environment variables (thanks to boost::program_option).
- Change: In Utility, correct "when first called" initialisation of the
System singleton. Access to members only through static members that
ensure the initialisation of the singleton first.
- Change: In System, makes uses of the callback feature of Parameter to
initialize the new configuration parameters (verbosity, coredump, ...).
- Change: In linefill, build upon mstream instead of ostream. Now dual
aspect, inherit ostream and have a mstream member.
- New: "linefill" class which allows to print filled lines and automatically
go to the next line whenever the line is full (more than 80 characters).
- New: In ToolBox, getInstancesCount() recursively counts leaf cell instances.
- New: In CellGauge, added getClone() method (for Configuration).
- Change: It seems that the changes to match the new VLSISAPD weren't commited
by Damien...
- Bug: In CMakeLists.txt, local include directories *first*.
- New: In Utilities, Dots::asBool() & Dots::asLambda().
- New: In display.xml, new <drawingstyle> for Mauka Containers.
- Bug: In top CMakeLists.txt the SETUP_PROJECT_PATHS was not inserting
X_USER_TOP *before* X_TOP, thus potentially allowing an obsolete
system-wide configuration to shadow an up-to-date local one.
* ./crlcore:
- New: In Utilities, The Dots class which allow nice pretty printing on
a terminal (like lines of books summaries).

No more "coriolis/src".
