Jean-Paul Chaput 02777e127e Migration towards Python3, first stage: still based on C-Macros.
* New: Python/C++ API level:
  * Write a new C++/template wrapper to get rid of boost::python
  * The int & long Python type are now merged. So a C/C++ level,
    it became "PyLong_X" (remove "PyInt_X") and at Python code
    level, it became "int" (remove "long").
* Change: VLSISAPD finally defunct.
  * Configuration is now integrated as a Hurricane component,
    makes use of the new C++/template wrapper.
  * vlsisapd is now defunct. Keep it in the source for now as
    some remaining non essential code may have to be ported in
    the future.
* Note: Python code (copy of the migration howto):
  * New print function syntax print().
  * Changed "dict.has_key(k)" for "k" in dict.
  * Changed "except Exception, e" for "except Exception as e".
  * The division "/" is now the floating point division, even if
    both operand are integers. So 3/2 now gives 1.5 and no longer 1.
    The integer division is now "//" : 1 = 3//2. So have to carefully
    review the code to update. Most of the time we want to use "//".
    We must never change to float for long that, in fact, represents
    DbU (exposed as Python int type).
  * execfile() must be replaced by exec(open("file").read()).
  * iter().__next__() becomes iter(x).__next__().
  * __getslice__() has been removed, integrated to __getitem__().
  * The formating used for str(type(o)) has changed, so In Stratus,
    have to update them ("<class 'MyClass'>" instead of "MyClass").
  * the "types" module no longer supply values for default types
    like str (types.StringType) or list (types.StringType).
    Must use "isinstance()" where they were occuring.
  * Remove the 'L' to indicate "long integer" (like "12L"), now
    all Python integer are long.
* Change in bootstrap:
  * Ported Coriolis builder (ccb) to Python3.
  * Ported Coriolis socInstaller.py to Python3.
  * Note: In PyQt4+Python3, QVariant no longer exists. Use None or
    directly convert using the python syntax: bool(x), int(x), ...
    By default, it is a string (str).
* Note: PyQt4 bindings & Python3 under SL7.
  * In order to compile user's must upgrade to my own rebuild of
    PyQt 4 & 5 bindings 4.19.21-1.el7.soc.
* Bug: In cumulus/plugins.block.htree.HTree.splitNet(), set the root
    buffer of the H-Tree to the original signal (mainly: top clock).
      Strangely, it was only done when working in full chip mode.

Jean-Paul Chaput 2c73cfe76c Migrating the initialisation system to be completely Python-like.
* New: In bootstrap/coriolisEnv.py, add the "etc" directory to the
    PYTHONPATH as initialization are now Python modules.
* New: In Hurricane/analogic, first groundwork for the integration of
    PIP/MIM/MOM multi-capacitors. Add C++ and Python interface for the
    allocation matrix and the list of capacities values.
* Change: In Hurricane::RegularLayer, add a layer parameter to the
    constructor so the association between the RegularLayer and it's
    BasicLayer can readily be done.
* Change: In Hurricane::Layer, add a new getCut() accessor to get the
    cut layer in ViaLayer.
* Change: In Hurricane::DataBase::get(), the Python wrapper should no
    longer consider an error if the data-base has not been created yet.
    Just return None.
* Bug: In Isobar::PyLayer::getEnclosure() wrapper, if the overall
    enclosure is requested, pass the right parameter to the C++ function.
* Change: In AllianceFramework, make public _bindLibraries() and export
    it to the Python interface.
* Change: In AllianceFramework::create(), do not longer call bindLibraries().
    This now must be done explicitely and afterwards.
* Change: In AllianceFramework::createLibrary() and
    Environement::addSYSTEM_LIBRARY(), minor bug corrections that I don't
    recall.
* Change: In SearchPath::prepend(), set the selected index to zero and
    return it.
* Change: In CRL::System CTOR, add "etc" to the PYTHONPATH as the
    configuration files are now organized as Python modules.
* New: In PyCRL, export the CRL::System singleton, it's creation is no
    longer triggered by the one of AllianceFramework.
* New: In CRL/etc/, convert most of the configuration files into the
    Python module format. For now, keep the old ".conf", but that are no
    longer used.
      For the real technologies, we cannot keep the directory name as
    "180" or "45" as it not allowed by Python syntax, so we create "node180"
    or "node45" instead.
      Most of the helpers and coriolisInit.py are no longer used now.
    To be removed in future commits after being sure that everything
    works...
* Bug: In AutoSegment::makeDogleg(AutoContact*), the layer of the contacts
    where badly computed when one end of the original segment was attached
    to a non-preferred direction segment (mostly on terminal contacts).
      Now use the new AutoContact::updateLayer() method.
* Bug: In Dijkstra::load(), limit symetric search area only if the net
    is a symmetric one !
* Change: In Katana/python/katanaInit.py, comply with the new initialisation
    scheme.
* Change: In Unicorn/cgt.py, comply to the new inititalization scheme.
* Change: In cumulus various Python scripts remove the call to
    helpers.staticInitialization() as they are not needed now (we run in
    only *one* interpreter, so we correctly share all init).
      In plugins/__init__.py, read the new NDA directory variable.
* Bug: In cumulus/plugins/Chip.doCoronafloorplan(), self.railsNb was not
    correctly managed when there was no clock.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins/Configuration.coronaContactArray(), compute
    the viaPitch from the technology instead of the hard-coded 4.0 lambdas.
      In Configuration.loadConfiguration(), read the "ioring.py" from
    the new user's settings module.
* Bug: In stratus.dpgen_ADSB2F, gives coordinates translated into DbU to
    the XY functions.
      In st_model.Save(), use the VstUseConcat flag to get correct VST files.
      In st_net.hur_net(), when a net is POWER/GROUND or CLOCK also make it
    global.
* Change: In Oroshi/python/WIP_Transistor.py, encapsulate the generator
    inside a try/except block to get prettier error (and stop at the first).

Jean-Paul Chaput 6ae3a902ee Correct H/K parameters for global routing. New cmos45 symbolic.
* Change: In CRL/etc/cmos/kite.conf, setup correct H/K parameters for
    the Katana global router. Value copied from Knik. They give a
    faster solution.
* New: In CRL/etc/cmos45/, new symbolic settings adapted to FreePDK 45nm.
    Courtesy of N. Shimizu. To be used with NSXLIB.
* New In CRL::System, add "coriolis_top" to the set of pathes available
    to the user.

Jean-Paul Chaput fcd6d69a2f Analog integration part II. Analog place & route (slicing tree).
* Change: In Hurricane::CellWidget, set the minimal size to 350 pixels
    to fit my normal DPI secondary screen...
* Change: In Hurricane::Error(), reactivate the backtrace generation by
    default. Seriously slow down the program each time an Error is to
    be constructed.
* Bug: In Analog::Device::preCreate(), check for NULL Technology before
    attempting to use it.
* Change: In Hurricane/Analog, remove all '*Arguments*' classes and their
    Python interface. It was an obsoleted way of passing devices parameters
    to the Python layout generators (located in Oroshi). Now we just get
    them straight from the Device with the getParamter() method.
* Change: In CRL::System CTOR, add Python pathes for Oroshi & Karakaze.
* Change: In Oroshi/Python/WIP_*.py layout generator scripts, remove
    all uses of the "Arguments". Directly access the parameters through
    the device itself. Make the checkCoherency() with identical arguments
    as of layout().
* New: Bora tool that performs analog place & route. Based on a slicing
    tree representation. It is the thesis work of Eric Lao.
      Code beautyfication and some programming cleanup.
* New: Karakaze tool, provide the Python base class AnalogDesign used
    to build an analog design. Create/configure devices and assemble
    them in a slicing tree.
* Change: In Unicorn/cgt.py, display the stack trace in case of an
    ImportError exception as well as for other exceptions.
      Add Bora to the set for included tool engines.
2018-10-18 18:10:01 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 3f73b9d033 Anlog integration part I. Atomic devices support (transistors).
* Change: In boostrap, remove support for Chams.
* New: In Hurricane::Technology, added support for DTR rules, UnitRule,
    PhysicalRule and TwoLayersPhysicalrule. Added devices descriptors and
    models descriptors (for Spice). Spice description is not used yet
    but kept anyway in case of future use.
* New: Hurricane::Analog whole library and it's Python interface. This
    provides support for transistors, capacitors and resistors. Only
    transistor support is fully implemented as of now.
* New: In CRL/python/coriolisInit.py, read configuration files for the
    Analog extension (analog.conf & devices.conf). Thoses are optionals
    and a simple warning is issued if not found.
      Added helpers/AnalogTechno.py DTR loading helper.
      Add analog configuration files for 180/scn6m_deep_09.
* New: Oroshi tool that provides actual layout drawing for transistors.
2018-10-01 16:52:17 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 4a65a8d4e7 Added GDSII driver. Bug in Blif parser.
* New: In CRL, implement a true GDSII driver. The driver is directly under
    CRL and do not use an intermediate structure in vlsisapd. The ASCII
    GDSII is removed.
      Huge polygons are not supported yet. Have to be split up in
    sub-polygons of less than 4000 vertexes.
      Symbolic layout can be exported to give a rough idea of the layout
    but RDS expension is not applied. Symbolic composite layers are
    expansed into their basic layers so the design *looks* normal.
* Deprecated: In CRL, remove all traces of the old XML configuration
    parsers. No one needs them now, including Chams.
* Bug: In CRL::BlifParser, before blindly loading the model of a subckt
    from disk with AllianceFramework, checks if it is in the Catalog
    first. Load with AllianceFramework only cells that are in the
    Catalog.
      This prevent a file of the same name than a model to be loaded
    shadowing the later defintion of the model in the Blif file.
      All this is due to the fact that Blif could be non-ordered for
    the models...
* Change: In Hurricane::BasicLayer, the "extract number" is replaced
    by a GdsLayer and GdsDatatype to generate accurate GDS files.
    Even if datatype is 0 most of the time.
      Update all the "technology.conf" files in CRL to provide those
    two numbers.

Jean-Paul Chaput 95aba574a5 Happy New Year 2018 ! Update license years... 2018-01-06 17:55:44 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 3d0431b238 In CRL, update real conf. files. Smarter management of pin in LEF parser.
* Change: In CRL Core, etc/, update the configuration files of real
    technologies. Mostly for FreePDK 45. This work is also done for
    AMS c35b4 (350nm) but in a private (SoC) git repository.
      Added a new parameter 'lefImport.minTerminalwidth' for the
    minimum size (width) of a metal1 terminal in standard cells.
      Corrected bug of the minimum trace level which must be
    initialized to a great value and *not* zero;
* Change: In CRL Core, BlifParser, detect when there is no tie low
    or tie high defined, issue an error (connexion left open) but
    continue.
* New: In CRL::RoutingLayerGauge, new overlad of getTrackPosition()
    with the parameter set of getTrackIndex(). Used to know if a
    terminal is on-grid or not.
* New: In CRL::LefImport, smarter management of metal1 pins. Adds a
    _pinPostProcess() function to select the external components
    among the various shapes. If the gauge is VH, all the pin rectangles
    are translateds into vertical segments (even if the metal1 gauge
    says the tracks are horizontals).
      The _pinPostProcess() function adds as external components of
    a net, only the segments of a sufficent width as given in
    'lefImport.minTerminalWidth' and that are on-grid.

Jean-Paul Chaput 24d5e9f172 The min debug level has to be high (10000) and not zero.
* Bug: In Hurricane the ::tstream class must be initialized with a
    minLevel of 10000 instead of zero, as the minLevel go *towards*
    zero as the debug slice [min:max[ is expanded by DebugSession.
      This default value must be repeated in the CRL::System CTOR
    and in the coriolis2/etc/commons/misc.conf.
* Bug: In Hurricane::IntrusiveSet, uses "tsetw(n)" dedicated cdebug
    stream manipulator instead of the STL one.
2017-12-21 17:29:29 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 41856f8c50 In CRL Core, do not set stratus1.mappingName to "not_set" (but ""). 2016-12-07 13:53:01 +01:00
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 babf23f303 Let the init system guess "stratus1.mapppingName" value.
* Change: In Bootstrap, in coriolisEnv.py no longer sets the environment
    variable STRATUS_MAPPING_NAME (guessed by init).
* Change: In CRL Core, in System CTOR sets the default value for
    "stratus1.mappingName" to "not_set" so the init can known it is not
    set.
      In etc/coriolis2/*/stratus1.conf, do not set "stratus1.mappingName".
      In coriolisInit.py, now guess the value of "stratus1.mappingName"
    if it has not already been set by the user. The complete setting
    process is as follow (decreasing priority):
      1. Setup by the user in his ".coriolis2/setting.py".
      2. A "stratus.xml" file is detected in the current technological
         directory (example: etc/coriolis2/65/cmos065/setting.xml).
      3. Fallback value to "etc/coriolis2/stratus2sxlib.xml".

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 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...
2015-06-10 15:49:58 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a2d4f01ca3 New Library Manager Widget. Access with Tools menu or CTRL+M.
* New: In CRL Core, created a LibraryManager widget. It provides a
    composite information based on what is present, for each
    Alliance library:
    1. - A Cell in memory, without Catalog::State.
    2. - A Catalog::State, with or whithout the Cell in memory.
    3. - The files of the Cell in the librariy's directory.
    4. - A file with a format referenced for one of the importers.
      File type recognition is based *only* on the file extension,
    so it may easily confused. Be careful about what you put in
    the library's directory.
      One of the big limitation is that it will not display Hurricane
    libraries that do not have the AllianceLibrary extension.
      This widget is put in a separate library <libmanager>, included
    in the default CRLCORE_LIBRARIES.
* Change: In CRL Core, in State (through the loader), now sets the
    InMemory flag (event if nobody uses it yet...). Display it in
    the state _getString().
      In AllianceFramework, new getAllianceLibraries() method.
      In CatalogExtension, make the static method "get()" publicly
    accessible, for sometimes we want the whole State.
* Bug: In vlsisapd, in Path, the pathcache was not rebuild when it
    should, leading to incorrect results.
* New: In vlsisapd, in Path, added a listdir() method to access the
    contents of a directory and a stat() method to poll the status
    of a file/directory.
      Rename the ".string()" method in ".toString()" to avoid
    tricky name resolution with std::string, refactor in all the
    other tools.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Controller, no longer oversize the fonts
    of the table's headers.
* New: In Unicorn, in UnicornGui, integrate LibraryManager.

Jean-Paul Chaput 5dc60415e7 Happy new year 2015! 2015-03-17 16:56:55 +01:00
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.
2015-03-17 16:31:24 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 3b343f08cf Bug in Python proxy deallocation. Update to latest Coloquinte.
* Bug: In Bootstrap, in coriolisEnv.py, check if devtoolset-2 is already
    active before launching it as a sub-shell.
* Bug: In Isobar, In PyHurricane.h, DBoDestroyAttribute() set the proxy
    pointer toward the C++ object to NULL. So when the Python object is
    deleted no double-deletion occurs on the C++ object.
      Add some more trace information in Python link/dealloc.
* Change: In CRL Core, in cyclop, make CMakeLists.txt automatically
    choose the right rule for linking the binary wether we use Qt 4 or
    Qt 5. Very irksome problem.
* New: In EtesianEngine::addFeed(), do not take into account instances
    that are not placed entirely inside the top cell abutment box (was
    causing a core dump).
* Bug: In Katabatic, in GCellQueue, correct a mismatch between a GCell
    set and the iterators used upon it.
* Bug: In Mauka, in Row & Surface correct a mismatch between a container
    and it's iterator.
* New: In Etesian, updated to work with the latest Coloquinte, patch
    contributed by G. Gouvine.
      Added EtesianEngine::setDefaultAb() to compute an abutment box if
    the Cell is completly unplaced.
* New: In cumulus, in ClockTree, now the placer can be configured to be
    either Mauka (slow simulated annealing) or Etesian (fast analytic).
    New setting 'clockTree.placerEngine' in plugin settings.
2015-02-13 23:38:55 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput cd9d3fc4b6 ExtensionCap support and source/target terminal flags in Katabatic & Kite.
Placement management:
* Change: In <metis>, always disable the hMetis support regardless of
    it being detected or not as the placer is still unable manage the
    final bin contents.

Routing gauge management:
* Bug: In CRL Core, <vsclib/alliance.conf>, set the correct pitches and
    size for the routing layers and the cell gauge.
* Change: In Katabatic & Kite, extract the correct extension cap for each
    routing layer from the layers characteristics (cache then in
    Katabatic::Configuration).
* Change: In Katabatic, <AutoSegment>, create segment with the wire width
    defined in the gauge. For AutoSegment created on already existing
    Segment from the global routing, adjust the width.
* Change: In Katabatic, <AutoSegment>, more accurate information about how
    a segment is connected to terminal via source and/or target.
    The flag SegStrongTerminal is splitted into SegSourceTerminal and
    SegSourceTarget (but still used as a mask). So now we can know by
    which end an AutoSegment is connected to a terminal.
* Change: In Katabatic, ::doRp_Access(), create constraint freeing segments
    not only when HSmall but also when VSmall (more critical for <vsclib>).
    Otherwise we may see AutoSegments with incompatible source/target
    constraints.
* Change: In Kite, BuildPowerRails, do not create blockage on PinOnly
    layers *but* still create power rails planes. This is a temporary
    workaround for <vsclib> where the METAL1 blockages overlaps the
    terminals (it was fine for Nero, but they shouldn't for Kite).
* Change: In Kite, <RoutingEvent>, if a TrackSegment is overconstrained,
    directly bybass it's slackening state to DataNegociate::Slacken.
    Also rename the flag "_canHandleConstraints" to "_overConstrained",
    seems clearer to me.

Miscellaneous:
* Change: In CRL Core, <Utilities>, add a "pass-though" capability on the
    mstream to temporarily make them print everything.
2014-05-25 15:00:35 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 4439d3a142 Added support for multiple symbolic+real technology in configuration.
In CRL Core, the layout of the files under "/coriolis2/etc" changes.
Instead of having them directly under "etc", they are now replicated,
in subdirectories. Each subdirectory having the name of the associated
symbolic or real technology (they are kept separated). We have, for
now:
* etc/cmos/    : symbolic, the Alliance original one.
* etc/vsc200/  : symbolic, for G. Petley vsclib.
* etc/hcmos9/  : real, generic fake (130nm).
To tell which pair (symbolic,real) technologies must be used we create
a *second* (sigh) configuration file "coriolis2_techno.conf", and it's
hidden counterpart in the user's account, to set it up. It needs to be
separate because it is read as early as possible and select which set
of configuration files would be read.

Also add support up to METAL8 and POLY2 in CRL core and it's Alliance
parser/drivers.

Jean-Paul Chaput b4887b1180 * ./hurricane/doc/hurricane:
- Change: In Cell, added doc about PlacementStatus.
    - Change: In Transformation, more detailed explanations about the
        orientations. A little beautifying too...
    - Change: RoutingPad doc update.
    - Change: Entity doc update (for id).
    - Change: In HTML header/footer uses the new SoC.css.

  * ./crlcore/src:
    - Change: In DefDriver, added support for placement exportation.
    - New: In Utility, added a "paranoid" output stream (for my extra
       warnings in the router).
    - Bug: In ApParser, correct parsing of connectors index (recreate
       the vector).
    - Change: In alliance.conf, make "blockageNet" case insensitive.
    - Change: In misc.conf, added support for paranoid stream.
    - Change: In x2y and CyclopMain correct verbose flags positionning.

  * ./crlcore/doc:
    - Change: Updated style and added some documenation.

2013-04-21 15:36:06 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2012f14acf * All Tools:
- 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.

Jean-Paul Chaput c87d59256d * All Tools:
- 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).
2012-11-16 12:49:47 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 9d970ed03d * ./crlcore:
- 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.

2011-02-02 11:17:46 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 7d49e75797 * ./crlcore:
- 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.
2010-11-17 15:40:39 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 2c50fae3d3 * ./crlcore/src/ccore:
- 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.
2010-11-16 13:57:57 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput d0f15b901f * ./crlcore:
- 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).
2010-08-22 12:36:23 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 6d4e94616d * ./crlcore:
- 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.
2010-07-18 10:00:38 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 32cd2304e9 * All Main Python Modules:
- 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.

Damien Dupuis e69ba3bd4b Minor correction to compile under mac osx 2010-07-15 11:46:40 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 1ccefdb128 * All tools:
- 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.
2010-07-12 15:09:29 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput f901abe0ad * All tools:
- 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.
2010-07-01 11:48:16 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput fcbd24a9e2 * ./crlcore:
- 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.
2010-06-22 13:55:37 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 3a9619d938 * ./crlcore:
- 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...

Jean-Paul Chaput 245185de14 * Most of tools:
- 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).
