Finally get rid of the demonic code from Wu Yifei...
* New: In Isobar, added encapsulation of Interval (don't know how have
forgotten it for so long).
* Change: In Isobar, In PyLayer, new PyLink_LayerDerived() function to
create/link the C++ object to the correct derived class and not the
base one (PyLayer) which then prevent to use the specialized methods.
Must replace PyLink_Layer() througout all the code.
* Change: In Isobar, in PyPoint the "setX()" & "setY()" methods where
still capitalized.
* Change: In Isobar, in PyQuery, complete the exportation of the C++
interface. remove the code belonging to a more "boost" way of
building the Python interface (will do that in a far future).
* New: In CRL Core, In PyAllianceFramework, export isPad() method.
* Change: In Unicorn, in unicornInit.py, protect the loading of each
single plugin by a "try" / "except" clause to the failing of one
plugins do not stop the loading of the next one.
Pass the same dictionnary argument to unicornHook() as for
ScripMain(), this is more uniform this way.
* New: In Cumulus, complete replacement of the chip placement scripts
from Wu Yifei (at last!). The clock-tree integration is still to
be done.
________________________________________________________________________
* New: In CRL Core, in PyCellGauge, add the missing methods.
* Bug: In Isobar, PyOccurrence_create(), the HTRY/HCATCH block was not
enclosing the constructor of Occurrence, which can throw exceptions.
When an exception was thown the Python interpreter just terminate
with the cryptic message:
"Fatal Python error: Py_EndInterpreter: thread still has a frame"
Reminder to myself: when such a message occurs, it means that the
interpreter did encounter a problem, but it's related to the isobar
interface.
- 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).
