Main list of ports:
* Replace deprecated operator '<>' by '!='.
* To check if a list is empty, do not compare to [], but check it's
length instead.
* Do not make a class inherit indirectly twice from the same base class.
* Hurricane physical object constructors uses DbU::Unit as arguments,
seen as int in Python, so they will not match float. Unfortunately
the calculation often gives float. So explicitely cast them into
int. This is due to a change of behavior in Python. Now, 3/2
gives 1.5 (float). To get the previous one use: 3/2 -> 1 (int).
* dict.keys()[0] no longer work, instead use list(dict.keys())[0].
* Bug: In Hurricane::NetRoutingState::getSymValue(), outrageously bad
computation of the symmetric coordinate when the value was superior
to the axis... (shame on me).
* Change: In Anabatic::Disjkstra::load(), for symmetrically paired nets,
check that the axis of symmetry is *outside* the searchArea.
Otherwise, the two mirrored areas overlaps and the two nets will
unescapably be on top of each other. Issue a warning but still
continue.
* Change: In Anabatic::Vertex::isRestricted(), allow perpandicular
wire to go through struts or thin (less than one routing pitch)
node. May have to recheck in the future and restrict to struts
only.
* Bug: In Bora::HVSlicingNode::updateSymNetAxis(), rescursive call in
child node was not systematically done (bad curly brace position).
Also checks that symmetries are not empty before accessing the
front element (one less core dump).
* Change: In CRL/helpers, cumulus/plugins, oroshi & karakaze,
Move towards more Python PEP8 compliance:
* All indentations sets to 4 spaces (in progress).
* In plugins, remove messages about software collections
and RHEL (too many case could wrongly lead to that).
Instead systematically uses "helpers.io.catch()".
* Put in lowercases all modules names. Note that C++ exported
modules *keep* their Capitalized names (to preserve the
identity with the C++ namespace).
* When making import, use full path.
* Rename the run function from "ScriptMain()" to "scriptMain()".
* Cleanup: In CRL/etc, remove obsoleted configuration files,
the one ending in ".conf". Keep those who have not been ported
to the new style yet.
* New: In Hurricane/src/configuration, first trial at replacing the
C preprocessor macros by C++ templates. Applied first to configuration
from VLSISAPD.
This is unfinished business, just a limited demonstrator for now.
It is installed as a separate Python library "Cfg2" which do not
interact with the rest of Coriiolis.
The end goal is to fully remove boost and merge VLSISAPD useful
components directly inside Hurricane.
