Jean-Paul Chaput 30b92ff33a Add a flag througout all the build system to manage manylinux (PyPI).
* New: In boostrap/FindBootstrap.cmake, add a macro setup_qt() to
    share Python detection across the various tools.
      This macro takes into account the USE_MANYLINUX variable to
    slightly change the Python detection. On a "normal" system we
    look for "Development" (search for dynamic libraries) while under
    manylinux we look for "Development.Module"(static linking).
* Change: In bootstrap/ccb.py, add a new option --manylinux.
* Change: Cleanup in the various CMakeLists.txt to use setup_qt().

Robert Taylor a02c88a893 Don't link libpython, it isn't there in manylinux 2023-02-21 16:10:55 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 10bd5510da Fix library linking problem for gcc 9 and above (Ubuntu 20/Debian 11).
* Bug: In all CMakeLists.txt, it seems I was doing a worng use of
    target_link_library(). No longer add dependencies to the C++ base
    library but instead either to the Python associated module or
    to the final binaries. This was inderectly causing the linking
    problem related to Python (which was a misdirection).
* Bug: Typo in FindLibexecinfo.cmake, do not use FindLib[E]xecinfo.
* Change: In CRL/ccore/CMakeLists.txt, activate SKIP_AUTOMOC on
    bison/flex generated files.
* Bug: In viewer/PyHApplication, do not delete the C++ object in
    the Python destroy method.

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 9d86282b8f In Cyclop CMakeLists, cleanup the switch Qt4/Qt5. 2019-11-10 12:28:50 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput ef0f6f771a In Python scripts, if PyQt 4 fails to load, try PyQt 5.
* In CRL::Cyclop/CMakeLists.txt, add *again* the MOC files to the list
    of .cpp . Don't know what is happening here with MOC under Qt 5.
* In CRL/python/helpers.io, cleanly fails if neither PyQt 4 nor PyQt 5 is
    found. And tell it directly because this the module tasked to handle
    the exceptions/errors...
* In Cumulus/plugins/AboutWindow.py, try PyQt 4 then PyQt 5.
* In documentation/UsersGuide, now tells explicitely that Qt 4 must be
    used under RedHat 7 and Qt 5 under Debian.

Jean-Paul Chaput bbcf14eb5a First step in supporting ISPD18 detailed routing benchmarks.
* Change: In CRL::DefImport, added callback to read the DEF UNITS statement
    and perform a correct length conversion. Previously set to read pseudo
    lambdas in hundredth of microns.
      Added DefParser::getLefCell() to lookup master cells in the LEF
    libraries before looking in the Alliance ones (rooted under "LEF"
    library).
* Change: In CRL::LefParser::_pinPostProcess(), when no segment suitable
    for terminal connexion is found, add all of them. This is a quick hack
    and an a correct policy that match all techno must be implemeneted.
* New: In CRL::pyCRL, add a Python wrapper for DefImport.
* New: In CRL/etc/45/ispd18/ added configuration files for the "real"
    technology used by the ISPD18 45nm design benchmarks.
2019-03-29 11:07:55 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 5dd235b3cd Adding moc cpps to the link of Cyclop under Qt 5.
* Bug: In CRL::cyclop, on former versions of Qt 5 there was a double
    link of the moc generated modules. This appears to be solved under
    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, so now we have to add them again explicitly.

Jean-Paul Chaput 95aba574a5 Happy New Year 2018 ! Update license years... 2018-01-06 17:55:44 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 89dfc2179c Compliance with c++11 and clang 3.8.1 (Debian 9.2). 2017-12-02 14:25:03 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput e78c3f21ef Added analog type on segment NetRoutingProperty.
* New: In Anabatic_AutoSegments collection, added a Flag to the constructors
    to allow different behavior between digital and analog modes.
      For "Aligneds" and "Perpandiculars" collections, now manage a new
    Flag WithDoglegs to follow aligned globals through local doglegs
    (for analog nets).
      Adjust the log level of collections to 144 (formerly 145).
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, new flag SegAnalog for segments that are
    part of an analog net.
      Note that with this flag, we reach the 32 bits limit...
* Change: In Anabatic::Constants, Flags are now declared as BaseFlags
    objects and *not* uint64_t. This avoids overload resolution problems with
    arithmetical overload of the operators.
      The BaseFlags/Flags types are now completly "isolated" from the
    uint64_t, it has the advantage of showing where unwanted previous implicit
    conversions where occuring.
* Change: In Katana::Constants, Flags values are now of BaseFlags type instead
    of uint64_t.
* Change: In Anabatic::Dijkstra, lots of log cleanup.
* Change: In Anabatic::GCell::getSide(), make the "shrink" parameter visible
    to allow to substract the topmost and rightmost track for axis span
    computation in AutoSegment::computeOptimal(). Used for analog mode.
* Change: In NetRoutingState, added a flag for analog mode. Use uint32_t
    for the flags type.
* New: In Isobar, export the NetRoutingState and NetRoutingExtension objects.

Jean-Paul Chaput db8e51524f Deterministic destruction of Components.
* Change: In Hurrican::Component::_preDestroy(), the cascaded destruction
    of slaves Components and subsequent ring merge and Rubber creation
    was using set<> sorted on pointer values. This was making the order
    of destruction of the slaves components non-deterministic. Now the
    sets are sorted according to their id (see Entity).
* Change: In Hurricane::SharedProperty, the _ownerSet is now a vector<>
    instead of a set<>. This will slow the search process, but hopefully
    this is needed only during construction/destruction of a Property
    so the slow down shouldn't be too much.
      This has also an impact on Hurricane::Relation.
2017-05-03 18:09:51 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 3835d6f7ad Diplay function, file & line number in the backtrace (like gdb).
* New: In Bootstrap, add cmake detection for libbfd.
* New: In Hurricane, in Backtrace, add BFD support to read debuginfo from
    the shared libraries (aka DSO) when compiled with "-g". This avoid the
    tedious step of running gdb after generating a core dump. It is also
    mandatory in ExceptioWidget to known from where an exception was thrown
    as Qt::notify() block all C++ exceptions.
      Currently works only under Linux (gcc or clang), may be extended in
    the future.
      The BFD reading is based on the small utility from:
          Don Hatch (hatch@plunk.org)
          http://www.plunk.org/~hatch/goodies/backtracefilt.C
      And small trinket: adjust the size of the window for high DPI screens.
* New: In CRL Core & Unicorn add link toward libbfd, if needed.
2016-08-06 18:15:06 +02:00
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 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 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 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 978315c017 Compliance with Clang 3.4 (RHEL7, MacOS).
* New: In Bootstrap, added support for RHEL7 in ccb.py & coriolisEnv.py.
   In coriolisEnv.py, under RHEL6, directly launch a shell under
   devtoolset-2 (do not put it in .bashrc).
* Change: All tools, compliance with Clang 3.2.
   - Call using namespace std *after* at least one include of std has
     been used.
   - In Utilities.h define both const and non-cont overload for operator<<
     of mstream (this was the true cause of the Banner display problem).
   - No longer use defaults arguments in templates, instead create two
     separated overloads.
   - Put template static attributes allocation outside of namespaces
     (this one I'm not sure how to justify).
   - Protect by NDEBUG variables that are only needed in assert().
   - In PyInterval getUnion() & getIntersection() we where silently
     overwriting the "self" object (interval).
   - In Mauka, *do no* overload _postCreate() and add an argument, breaks
     the virtual function mechanism. Rename it into _maukaPostCreate().
     Idem for SubRow().
   - In Katabatic::GCell(), invalidate() overload a Go funtion but is
     used for different purpose at this level. Rename it invalidateCt()
     (invalidate *ConTents*).
   - Miscellaneous small cleanup.
2014-12-09 23:49:46 +01:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 51a3236962 Add management of fixed wires to Kite (for chip ClockTree)
* Change: In Hurricane, in Plug::setNet(), more informative error messages.
* Change: In Hurricane, In Segment, more informative error messages.
* Change: In Hurricane, In DeepNet, accessor for the Net occurrence.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in AutoSegment::create(), error message uses correct
    variables (vertical was using horizontal)...
* Change: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails, already existing wiring in instances
    is copied up as blockage. Uses blockage layer instead of true layer
    (it was a bug).
* Change: In Kite, in BuildPreRouted, consider as manual global routing
    nets with only default wiring (default size wire & contacts).
    Non-default routing is flagged as fixed (with the NetRoutingState
    property).
2014-08-15 19:26:49 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput a2ba6c2904 Support for Windows/Cygwin, part 3.
* Change: In CRL Core/Cyclop, Hurricane/PyHApplication and vlsisapd/ConfEditorMain,
    disable the use of GtkStyle under Cygwin.
2014-07-23 16:53:43 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 520b9ae382 Restore support for both Qt4 & Qt5.
* Change: In bootstrap, in ccb & builder, build by default with Qt4 and
    provide a --qt5 command line switch to enable Qt5.
      FindBootstrap.cmake now provides a qtX_wrap_cpp() macros to be
    independant of the version of Qt being used.
      Add all thoses options to the graphical interface to the builder.
* Change: In all the tools using Qt, switch to the qtX_*() macros from
    FindBootstrap.cmake.
* Change: In Hurricane, in CellViewer, revert to the Qt4 way of connecting
    signal/slots for backward compatibility.
2014-07-22 11:06:26 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 01b97626a8 Support for Python plugins in CellViewer/Unicorn. ClockTree plugin.
* New: In Hurricane, in CellViewer, create a simpler API to graft menu
    and actions into the menubar. Mainly addToMenu() which take care of
    the QAction creation but also locate the relevant QMenu, base on
    the Qt object name. Regroup all the widget & action creation inside
    the body of the constructor, this way almost all actions can be
    removed from the attributes of the CellViewer.
      addToMenu() is supplied in three flavors:
        1. For C++ callbacks in GraphicToolEngines (with a binded
           member function method).
        2. For running Python scripts to be used by the plugin system.
        3. To insert separator in menus (to give a more homogeneous
           look).
    Remove the last remnants of Stratus scripts (unificated with basic
    Python scripts).
* New: In Hurricane, in PyCellViewer, export the interface to graft
    Python scripts into the CellViewer menu tree.
* Change: In Etesian, in GraphicEtesianEngine, use the new API to
    graft menus & callbacks into the CellViewer.
* Change: In Mauka, in GraphicMaukaEngine, use the new API to
    graft menus & callbacks into the CellViewer.
* Change: In Kite, in GraphicKiteEngine, use the new API to
    graft menus & callbacks into the CellViewer.
* New: In Cumulus, install Python scripts as plugins for Unicorn under
    <PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES>/cumulus/plugins/.
* New: In Unicorn, in UnicornGui, make uses of the new API for creating
    menus in the CellViewer. Creates the stem menu for the P&R tools.
      Add a Python initialization mechanism to read the plugins
    installeds into <PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES>/cumulus/plugins/.
2014-06-25 19:50:34 +02:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 4842f21a2e Update to Qt 5, requires cmake 2.8.9. New placer: Etesian.
Update to Qt 5:
* Change: Now requires at least cmake 2.8.9.
* Change: CMakeLists.txt needs small changes. Qt modules must be found
    one by one (Core, Gui, Widgets). Must add "set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)"
    in the top file and replace "qt4" prefix in macros by "qt5".
    Added simpler macro "setup_qt()" in FindBootstrap.cmake.
* Change: No longer need to include <QGtkStyle> is is choosen by default
    according to the current desktop environment.
* Change: In <hurricane>, In HApplication, launch ExceptionWidget when
    a std::exception is catched instead of silently discarting it.

New placer Tool: Etesian
* New: <etesian> analytical placer. Encapsulate Coloquinte from
   Gabriel Gouvine.
* New: in <documentation>, add stub demonstration ToolEngine <smurf>.
   Needs to be commented.

Miscellaneous:
* New: in <boostrap> and <unicorn>, added support for Etesian, the new
    analytic placer. The tool itself will be added in the next commit.
* Bug: in <CellWidget>, when shifting the display buffer, we no longer
    can copy the buffer on itself (we should never have). Now go through
    a temporary one (PlaneId::AutoCopy) which is added to the
    DrawingPlanes. Affect "goLeft()" and "goUp()".
* Bug: In <CellWidget>, remove the WA_PaintOnScreen flag/attribute.
    When it's on, no PaintEvent is transmitted to the CellWidget
    when it's the central widget of the <CellViewer> (QMainWindow).
    It's something I still don't understand from the doc of Qt.
* Change: In <AreaCommand>, use the PlaneId enumeration instead of a
    anonymous numerical index.
* Change: In <HApplication>, no longer catch and silently discard
    standartd exceptions but launch the ExceptionWidget...
    Suppress the now deprecated constructor with "Type" argument.
* Change: In <SelectionModel>, the "reset()" method is deprecated in
    Qt5, instead enclose the "clear()" by a "beginResetModel()" and
    "endResetModel()" pair.
* New: In <crlcore>, add support for ISPD05 benchmarks (in Bookshelf
    format). Forked from ISPD04 and not finished yet.
* Change: In <Mauka>, distinguish the Action string identifier from
    <Etesian>
* New: In <unicorn>, add entry for ISPD05 loader. Add entry for
    <Etesian> analytic placer.
2014-03-22 11:50:36 +01:00
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.
2013-12-04 01:47:34 +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 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.
        lib/python2.6/dist-packages

Jean-Paul Chaput 4426fc4f0c * ./crlcore:
- New: In AllianceFramework constructor, now look for an XML configuration
        file in the current directory (<cwd>/.environment.alliance.xml).
    - New: DefParser, DefDriver & LefDriver are replaced by DefImport, DefExport
        and LefExport (resp.). LEF/DEF parser/driver are no longer integrated
        in among Alliance ones due to too much difference in data organisation.
        Instead they are build as Import/Export utilities.
    - New: Iccad04Lefdef import the ICCAD'04 benchmarks into the SxLib format
        suitable for Knik/Kite. They are derived from the ISPD'98 (ibm01--ibm18)
        benchmarks. Many corrections are applieds to ensure a more realistic
        representation.
          Generate a new library from the LEF file "on the fly".
    - New: Ispd04Bookshelf import the ISPD'04 benchmarks in SxLib from bookshelf.
        Thoses benchmarks can be placeds whith fastplace. Unfortunatly fastplace
        do not manage blocks and reduce them to standard cell which is not
        usable for detailed placement. Too bad, the parser exists still.
          Make uses of the new vlsisapd/bookshelf parser. A whole library is
        generated "on the fly" on the basis of "one node, one Cell" (so we have
        a bijection between Cell and Instance). The result of this parsing is
        different from the one of the stand-alone ispd04 binary in the sense it
        fits the circuit to the SxLib gauge thus changing the routing capacity:
        from 16 to 20.
    - Change: In ApDriver, the lookup modify the lookup table for matching
        Alliance layers against Hurricane ones, "OBSTACLEx" became "BLOCKAGEx".
    - Change: In default <enviromnent.alliance.xml> adds the name of the
        blockage net: "^obstacleNet$". Some work over the coherency of the
        blockage managment remains to be done.
    - Change: In AllianceFramework, partial rewrite of the get/creation of
        AllianceLibrary to fit the requirements of the "on the fly" generation
        from the benchmarks loaders. And correct some bugs by the way.
    - Change: In Environment, suppress any reference to LEF technology as LEF/
        DEF is now used as import/exports.
    - Bug: In VstDriver, perform only one lookup for global signals among all
        nets and not for each instance master cell. That was making the driver
        quadratic! Now it's linear and reasonably fast.

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.

Jean-Paul Chaput 85297540fc * ./crlcore:
- Bug: In CMakeLists.txt, local include directories *first*.
    - New: In Utilities, Dots::asBool() & Dots::asLambda().
    - New: In display.xml, new <drawingstyle> for Mauka Containers.
2010-06-08 12:02:31 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput c61f191a61 * All tools:
- Change: In the CMakeLists.txt, in all the install commands remove all
        the leading "/" as they prevents the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to be took
        into account. It was nevertheless working because buildCoriolis.py was
        using DESTDIR which is prepended anyway.
  * ./goodies:
    - Change: In buildCoriolis.py, no longer uses the DESTDIR but instead
        CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

Jean-Paul Chaput cd7a294ca9 * ./crlcore:
- Cleanup: No longer import the std namespace in headers.
    - Bug: In Measures.h, incoherent prototyping of getMeasure() template.
    - Change: In Environment, SearchPath & the XML format, slight change to
        allow overwriting of Alliance library pathes. Instead of having an
        attribute on the <system> node that applies to all libraries, we
        have a "mode" attribute in each <library> node.
          "mode" can takes three values:
            1. - "append" : the library path is added in tail of the list.
            2. - "prepend" : the library path is added in head of the list.
            3. - "replace" : if the library already exists in the pathes,
                    this ones replaces it, whitout modifiying the order.
                    If it doesn't exists, it simply appended.
          The "replace" mode is the one to be used if a users wants to shadow
        system libraries by his own versions (sets in ~/.environment.alliance.xml).
2010-05-13 09:45:20 +00:00
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).
2010-04-28 15:41:35 +00:00
Jean-Paul Chaput 7d805f94e8 * ./crlcore:

        newer or equal to Qt 4.5.0.
