Jean-Paul Chaput 4e8ac63408 In CRL Core Python helpers, new showPythonTrace().
* New: In CRL Core Python helpers, add a "showPythonTrace()" function to
    custom display the Python stack trace in case of exception. It ha
    been made to look like a gdb trace.
* In Unicorn, cgt.py, use showPythonTrace().

Jean-Paul Chaput 809a91c9c1 Added Routing Gauge for 2-Metal technologies only.
* New: In CRL Core, etc/cmos/kite.conf new routing gauge "sxlib-2M" for
    two metals only technologies.
* New: In CRL Core, python/helpers/kite.py, new parameter to set the
    routing gauge to be used: "kite.routingGauge" (default: "sxlib").
* Change: In CRL/AllianceFramework.cpp, forgot to put the Cell gauges
    and RoutingGauges in the object Records (Inspector).
* New: In pyCRL/PyAllianceFramework.cpp, export the setRoutingGauge()
    function.

Jean-Paul Chaput bdc474d7fc Quieter helpers initialisation, isderived() alternative to isinstance().
* New: In CRL.python.helpers, all methods make use of the quiet mode to
    allow completly silent initialisation.
      Introduce isderived() function to check the derivation relationship
    of two C++ encapsulated classes by Isobar. The Python isinstance do
    not work, all C++ wrapped classes are of the base type 'type'.
    isderived() uses the MRO mechanism (Method Resolution Order) as a
    workaround. I can't find in the documentation if it's the expected
    behavior or if i did miss something in when building my classes.

Jean-Paul Chaput b2e955185b Default stratus1.mappingName was not set correctly.
* Bug: In CRL.python.coriolisInit(), when it's not set, the stratus1.mappingName
    configuration variable is equal to "" and *not* "not_set".
* Bug: In Etesian::EtesianEngine::toColoquinte(), followup of the previous
    bug, bad FIXED/PLACED test when the AB is set.

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.

Jean-Paul Chaput d2209579ab Modify the init system to manage NDA restriced configuration files. 2016-05-03 13:32:06 +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.

Jean-Paul Chaput 2a40fa7d92 New "obstacleDw" for Kite.
* New: In CRL Core, in RoutingLayerGauge, adds a new parameter "obstacleDw".
    It represents the distance to add from the *edge* of a blockage segment
    to the next *axis* of a routing track. This was previously computed as
    the pitch minus the mimimum half wire width. This works if the pitch
    is *equal* to the wire width plus the minimal distance (edge to edge).
    But if the wire width is less, than it leads to too great a distance
    around obstacles, making them bigger than they are. And potentially
    blocking everything. To summarize:
         before:  obstacleDw = pitch - wireWidth/2  (deduced)
         after:   obstacleDw = explicitly setup, usually:
                               pitch - max(wireWidth)/2
      Modify the Alliance configuration helper and the various kite.conf
    file accordingly.
* New: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails, make use of "obstacleDw" to compute
    the footprint of a blockage.

Jean-Paul Chaput db60fe0aa6 New coriolis launcher. Configuration files cleanup.
* Change: In CRL Core, simplify the loading sequence. The technology,
    both symbolic and real is now loaded directly from coriolisInit.py
    and not through the Alliance loader. This was a leftover from the
    time configuration was in XML. Remove others traces of XML loading.
      Remove SYMB_TECHNO_NAME, REAL_TECHNO_NAME & DISPLAY from the Alliance
    environement, as they was no longer used.
      Note that technology *still* need to be loader *after* Alliance
    framework has been initialized.
      Gauge information is moved from <alliance.conf> to <kite.conf>.
* Bug: In Coloquinte, in optimization_subproblems.cxx static variables
    must not be inlined. Generate a problem when linking in debug mode
    (seems the symbol gets optimised out).
* Bug: In Katabatic, in Grid::getGCell(), when the coordinate is *outside*
    the area, do not try to find a GCell, directly return NULL.
* New: In Unicorn, create a generic command launcher named "coriolis" which
    automatically take cares of all environement setup, then run a command
    by default, it's <cgt>, but it can be anything. For example: <zsh>.

Jean-Paul Chaput a7c4e8b02e Python Script launcher extended to accomodate Chams.
* New: In VLSISAPD, in Configuration, add a new priority level UserFile
    to distinguish between the system configuration files and the user's
    configuration files (which take precedence).
* New: In Hurricane, in Script (Python), improve the API to be able
    to support Chams (and remove the duplicate capability from it).
      Add separate functions to perform the initialize/run(s)/finalize
    cycle step by step.
* Change: In CRL Core, rename real technology <hcmos9> to <hcmos9gp>,
    it's offcial name from CMP/ST. This is the 130nm.
      Move the reading of the symbolic & real technologies names from
    coriolisInit.py to helpers.__init__.py, to be shared with
    chamsInit.py.
      To avoid a clash of names inside of helpers, the two variables
    of techno.py are renamed "symbolicTechnology" and "realTechnology".
      Move python init system from crlcore/src/crlcore to crlcore/python.
* New: In CRL Core, In Utilities, add site-packages/pharos to the
    PYTHONPATH.
* Change: In Kite, move python init system from kite/src/init to
    kite/python.
