* New: In Hurricane::NetRoutingProperty, add and change the meaning
of the following flags:
- ManualGlobalRoute : now means that a global routing *trunk*
is present, made of "gmetalh", "gmetalv" & "gcontact".
- Manualdetailroute : added, get the former meaning of
ManualGlobalRoute, that is, the detailed routing is
already present for this net, but can be changed by the
detailed router. Implies that it respect the Terminal,
HTee & VTee structuration.
* New: Add Anabatic::Diskstra::loadFixedGlobal(), to account
a manually global net into the edges capacities.
* New: In Anabatic::Edges::ripup(), exclude manually global routed
segments from the ripup. Change the segment sorting function
so that thoses segments are put in head of list (considered
as "smaller").
* Change: In AnabaticEngine::setupPreRouteds(), now detect manual
global routed and manual detail routed signals, and tag them
accordingly.
* New: In AnabaticEngine::Configuration & Session, add proxies
for the global routing layers ("gmetalh", "gmetalv", "gcontact").
* New: In Anabatic::Constants, add flags for global fixed and
detail routed nets.
* Change: In KatanaEngine::updateEstimateDensity(), now use int64_t
for flute coordinates.
* New: Add CRL::RoutingGauge::hasLayer(), to know if a layer is
managed by the gauge (comparison by mask).
* Change: In Hurricane::RoutingPad::getPlugOccurrence(), it was
forbidden to rebuild the Occurrence over anything other than
Plug. But as we now also uses Pins, it becomes useful to
rebuild the Occurrence on a Pin. The name of the function
stays, even if its less meaningful now.
* Bug: In Isobar::PyOccurrence, use "compare by value" instead of
"compare by pointer" for the Python comparison function. So we
really can compare identical Occurrences.
* New: In Isobar::PyPoint, export the "manhattanDistance()" function.
* New: In Isobal::PyCellViewer, add the following funtions to the
exported interface:
- "select()"
- "unselect()"
- "unselectAll()"
- "reframe()"
- "setShowSelection()"
So now we can easily highlight components from Python (to ease
debug).
* New: In Hurricane::CellViewer, create a proxy for the CellWidget
"reframe()" function.
When displaying big designs, the drawing was very slow because all
the graphical objects were browsed *before* deciding if they were
big enough for display. So we introduce a new mode of working of
the QuadTree to that the ones with areas *below* a certain thresold
just get skipped. Of course, the previous behavior must be preserved
(when the threhsold is zero or negative) as most of the time, we
*want* *all* the objects under an area, not only the biggest ones.
For now, in CellWidget, the visibility threshold is set to 20 pixels.
With this, we can display the Libre-SOC "test_issuer" of 100Kgates
in between 20 to 30s.
* New: In Hurricane::QuadTree_GosUnder collection & locator, add a
"threshold" argument so that QuadTree which both area sides are
below that lenght will be ignored (no walkthrough at all).
Zero (or negative) threshold means that no QuadTree will be
pruned, we get back to the previous behavior.
* New: In Hurricane::Slice::getComponentsUnder(), add the threshold
argument (with a default to 0).
* New: In Hurricane::Cell::getInstancesUnder(), add the threshold
argument (with a default to 0).
* New: In Hurricane::Query, added support for the threshold parameter.
In doQuery(), instances that have *both* side under the threshold
are pruned (slightly different from QuadTree areas).
* New: In Hurricane::CellWidget::_redraw(), set the visibility
threshold to 20 pixels (arbitrary, must be parametrized).
* New: In Hurricane::Cell, added destroyPhysical() method.
Remove *all* physical components and the DeepNets (so make
a virtual *unflatten*) in the correct dependency order.
In particular, RoutingPads, that relies on Occurrence over
physical components must be destroyeds *before* the entity
they are based on is destroyed.
* New: In CRL::PyAllianceFramework, export getCatalog(), in PyCatalog,
export the getState(name) method and add a PyCatalog_Link().
In PyCatalogState, add PyCatalogState_Link(), cannot use the
macro because of the C++ name resolution operator (Catalog::State).
* New: In Isobar, export the RoutingPads collection to the Python interface.
* New: In Hurricane::Net, export the getRoutingPads() method to the
Python interface (hence the need of the previous export).
* Bug: In Anabatic::Configuration::selectRpComponent(), always select
the Pin as the best component. It is mandatory for a block that
we pick up the terminal at the periphery and not one deep inside
the block.
* Bug: In Hurricane::RoutingPad::setOnBestcomponent(), same rule as
in Anabatic, if there is any, the Pin must always be the best
RoutingPad component.
* Bug: In Hurricane/Commons.h, modify the getRecord<>() templates so
that for both vector<Element> and vector<Element*>, the individual
record created for each element are donne with pointers. That is,
for the vector<Element> case, we take a pointer.
As a general policy, except for the POD types, always use pointers
or references to data in the records/inspector. Never uses values
that can call the copy constructor.
Suppress INSPECTOR_PV_SUPPORT() macro, keep only
INSPECTOR_PR_SUPPORT().
Provide value support only for getString<>() template.
This value & copy constructor problem was causing a crash when
trying to inspect Hurricane::AnalogCellExtension.
* New: In Hurricane::Technology, change the API of the PhysicalRule,
now we can only create/get PhysicalRule, but setting the value of
the rule itself must be done on the rule.
Enhance PhysicalRule to provide for stepped rules, non isotropic
and ratio rules.
Merge TwoLayersPhysicalrule in PhysicalRule, much simpler to
suppress the management of derived classes. That means that we
loose a little memory as some fields are mutually exclusive.
Not a problem considering that there will not be so many of thoses
objects.
* New: In CRL/helpers.analogtechno.py, enhanced DTR support for rules
like:
('minSpacing' , 'metal1', ((0.4,20.0), (0.8,1000.0)), Length, 'REF.1')
('minEnclosure', 'metal1', 'cut1', (0.2,0.3) , Length, 'REF.2')
('minDensity' , 'metal1', 0.30 , Unit , 'REF.3')
The DTR parser has been updated, but not the oroshi.dtr Rule
cache for analog components. Given a rule name, the value used
will be the horizontal one of the first step.
* Change: In hurricane/doc/hurricane, re-generate the documentation
with updated support for Technology & PhysicalRule.
* Change: In Hurricane::ExceptionWidget,
- Use a QTextLabel instead of a QLabel, make it "look like" a QLabel.
- Always display using text mode. Not HTML (to preserve indentation).
- Make the text of the error message selectable.
- Make it resizable.
* New: In Analog, new Parameter derived class "StringParameter",
to support strings. Also added to the Python interface.
* New: In Analog::Transistor, added StringParameters for specifying
track positions. They are named "G.t", "S.t", "D.t" and "B.t".
* New: In Oroshi/wip_transistor.py, now read the track positionning
devices parameters.
* New: In Karakaze/AnalogDesign.doDevice(), read an optional 14th
parameter holding the track positions (example in ADC-SAR).
* Bug: In Bora::SlicingNode::clearGlobalRouting(), as we are unrouting the
cell, the flags set up by Katana must be reset. The Cell is no longer
"Terminal" and it's nets are "Un-flattened".
* 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.
* New: In Isobar::PyResistor, manage type RPOLYH and RPOLY2PH.
* Change: In Hurricane::Resistor, rename plate nets from "PIN1" and
"PIN2" into "t1" and "t2" (try to respect uniform naming scheme).
* New: In Karakaze/AnalogDesign.py, support for reading Resistor
parameters.
* New: In Orosshi, ResistorSnake.py imported from Mariam Tlili's work
and associated Resistor.py to make parameter conversion.
Currently we only uses vertical layout for resistors.
Added METAL2 horizontal terminals for resistors.
* Change: In all tools, FindTOOL.cmake, no longer use LIB_SUFFIX to
search for tool libraries but try "lib64/" then "lib/".
* Change: In bootstrap/socInstaller.py, take Debian 10 into account.
* Change: In bootstrap/docker, move from Debian 9 to Debian 10.
* Change: In Hurricane::DbU::setGridPerLambdas(), allow the grid per
lambda to be even. Needed when using nsxlib libraries that are
drawn using a "half lambda" (two lambdas to get an Alliance lambda).
* New: In Oroshi/python, integrated capacitors. Modifications and
correction from Mariam's code:
* No need to redefine __setattr__() on CapacitorUnit.
* Pitch horizontally & vertically (symbolic routing tracks) the
devices.
* Put the horizontal access tracks on the routing pitch.
* Sets the horitontal metal2 wires as external components and
NOT the capacitor plates themselves.
* Makes the size (plates) of the unit capacitor a multiple of
the foundry grid, not a floating number...
* Correct the net ownership of horizontal tracks in
drawHRoutingTracks().
* Simplification & put error management directly inside of
__isCapacitorUnitOK__().
* New: In Karakaze/python/AnalogDesign, capacitor spec now include
the dummy parameter.
In the Cell/Instance hierarchy, the "terminal" and "leaf cell" concepts
where not clearly defined and partially overlapping. Now, "Terminal" is
the refer to the physical hierarchy (layout) and "TerminalNetlist" to
the logical hierarchy (netlist). The logical hierarchy can be less deep
than the physical one thanks to a Cell dedicated cell flags. Collections
related to the physical hierarchy keep their old names, the one related
to the logical hierarchy are renamed from "Leaf" to "TerminalNetlist".
The name "Leaf" was too ambiguous (leaf for *what* hierarchy).
* Change: In Hurricane::Device, set the "TerminalNetlist" flag once and
for all. No need set it in all the derived classes again.
* New: In Hurricane::MultiCapacitor, added new parameter "dummy" to
create dummies around the capacity matrix.
* Change: In Hurricane::Cell, remove "Leaf" related methods, replace
them by "TerminalNetlist" one, especially Collections. Now we have
two clear sets of Collections to walkthough the layout or the
netlist.
Change the "Terminal" flag into "TerminalNetlist".
* Change: In Hurricane::CellCollections, rename "Leaf" into
"TerminalNetlist" collections and apply the new semantic to the
locators.
* Change: In Hurricane::DataBase, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In Hurricane::DeepNet, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In Hurricane::HyperNet, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In Hurricane::Instance, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In Hurricane::Viewer::HierarchyInformations, Leaf to
TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In CRL::AllianceFramework, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In CRL::Catalog, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In CRL::ApParser, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Change: In EtesianEngine::AddFeeds, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Bug: In EtesianEngine::resetPlacement, move there the loop over
non terminal netlist instances to flag fully placed sub-blocks
as terminal for the netlist. Only then remove the feed cells
from unplaced instances. Previously, the feed cells where stripped
even from already placed instances.
* Change: In Katana, Leaf to TerminalInstance renaming.
* Bug: In Bora::PyDSlicingNode, allow the range parameter to be the
Python None object when we do not want to pass one but need to
have it as positional parameter.
* Change: In Cumulus/clocktree/ClockTree.py, Leaf to TerminalInstance
renaming.
* New: In Hurricane::Cell::isLeaf(), a leaf cell was defined as one
without instances. Now it can be software defined with the
"FlattenLeaf" state. If it is flagged "flatten leaf" is will be
considered as a leaf by the trans-hierarchical walkthrough.
This flag is also set for Cells in the Alliance CATAL.
* New: In Hurricane::Cell_LeafInstanceOccurrences::progress(), add a
test to prune leaf cells.
* Bug: In Hurricane::getComponentOccurrences(), when calling the
locator constructor, the "withLeafCells" argument was forgotten
and was getting the value of "doExtraction" (wich, fortunately,
was the same).
* Change: In Hurricane::HypreNet_LeafPlugOccurrences::progress(),
prune the leaf cells instead of the terminal ones.
* Change: In Hurricane::HypreNet_ComponentOccurrences::progress(),
prune the leaf cells instead of the terminal ones.
* New: In Hurricane::Cell, add a "useFlattenLeaf" mode to take into
account or ignore the "FlattenLeaf" flag when doing trans-
hierarchical walkthrough.
Not sure if it shouldn't be systematic.
* New: In Etesian::toColoquinte() and other, activate the "FlattenLeaf"
mode for all walkthough. So we can stop at already placed sub-blocks.
* Bug: In Etesian::toColoquinte(), when placed sub-block where present,
the number of instances was under estimated, so the instance array
was oversized and the end went unitialized. So we were getting all
kind of strange behavior from Coloquinte...
Now throw an exception if the number of instances differs from
the computed size.
* Bug: In Etesian::toColoquinte(), as for the instance array, now
correctly compute the size with the ecluded nets (supplies, clocks).
* Bug: In Etesian::resetPlacement(), event if the Cell is unplaced,
go through the instance list to remove the potential feed cells.
The netlist is written back after placement *with* the feed
cells added. So, when loading again, they where cluttering the
netlist and giving feed redefintions warning. They also generated
erratic behaviors.
* New: In Anabatic::NetBuilderHV, added configurations for:
* 1G_1M1_1PinM3
* 1G_xM1_1PinM2
* 2G_xM1_1PinM2
* doRp_AccessNorthPin
* New: In Anabatic::NetBuilderHV, added Pin management in SingleGCell.
* Bug: In Anabatic::NetBuilderHV::_do_xG_1PinM3(), the North/South
global routing configuration was forgotten (only East/West).
* Bug: In Katana::TrackFixedSegment, the blockage net was a static
variable initialized at the first run. So we were getting stuck
with the blockage net of the first cell to be routed. Of course,
it did show only when Katana was run multiple times in the same
process.
* New: In CRL/etc/node600/phenitec, ported configuration of Phenitec 0.6um
Compliant with DataBase reset.
* New: In CRL/python/helpers, added function "unloadUserSettings()" to
unload Python modules prior to a full reset.
Added "resetCoriolis()" to perform full DataBase reset.
* Change: In CRL::AllianceFramework, make it a derived class of DBo so
the destroy() is now provided.
* Bug: In CRL::AllianceFramework::getCell(), do not attempt any load if
the library list is empty. Should never occur except in case of a
botched databse reset.
* New: In CRL::AllianceFramework, new method "saveCATAL()" to write back
the catalog of a library and "saveCells()" to write back the cells.
Note: only cells actually loaded in memory will be write back.
* New: In CRL::Catalog, add method "saveToFile()" to write back the CATAL
of a library.
* Change: In CRL::ParserDriver, replace "const string&" by "string"
(improved string support of the GNU STL).
* Change: In CRL::ParserSlot, use string instead of Name.
* Change: In CRL::ApParser, make _layerInformation an ordinary attribute
instead of a static one. This allow for it's correct resetting
across databas resets.
* Change: In CRL::VstParserGrammar, reinitialize Vst::framework at each
parser call. Needed to support database reset.
* New: In Hurricane::DBo, add an object counter to be sure that when
we perform a reset, no remaining DBo is allocated. This is different
of the object id which is ever increasing.
Note that, at reset, we check against "1" remaining element as at
this point only Database is still allocated.
Add a new "resetId()" method. MUST NEVER BE CALLED except by
DataBase::_preDestroy().
* New: In Hurricane::Database, new clear() method to remove the Cells
of all the libraries in reverse hierarchical depth order.
Make use of the new CellsSort class.
* Change: In Hurricane::DataBase::_preDestroy(), call "clear()" and
DBo::resetId().
* Change: In Hurricane::Breakpoint, change the default callback to be
a static function. So we can restore it later.
* Bug: In Hurricane::Instance::_preDestroy(), there was yet another
loop of deletion over a collection for the shared pathes.
Replace it by the repetitive deletion of the first element.
* Bug: In Hurricane::Net::_preDestroy(), RoutingPads must be destroyed
prior to any other component.
* New: In Hurricane::ColorScale, add a "qtFree()" method for freeing
the Qt Brush, Pen & Color.
* New: In Hurricane::DrawingStyle, add a "qtFree()" method for freeing
the Qt Brush, Pen & Color.
* New: In Hurricane::Graphics, add a "disable()" method to call the
various "qtFree()" of the sub-objects.
* Change: In documentation, now generate the overall documentation using
Pelican instead of Sphinx. This allows to have an unified approach
between the coriolis.lip6.fr website and the local documentation.
So we keep using "only" two doc generators: doxygen & Pelican.
* In Hurricane::Viewer::Script::runFunction() & callFunction(), when the
script returns NULL, do not immediately return but first check if an
exception has been set. If so, print it *then* clear it.
Due to not clearing the exception we where seeing one later with
no relation to the true problem.
* In Oroshi/python/Rules.py, a bad test structure was discarting all the
"no layer rule with physical length" in the loading process. It was
blocked by the physical unit rule special cases.
* Change: In Hurricane::Viewer::ExceptionWidget & CRL/python/helpers/io.py,
downscale icons for non-HiDPI screen.
* Change: In CRL/etc/common/display.py, change the display threshold of
METAL1 layer so it do not appear at high scaling.
* New: In Etesian, activate the "setFixedAbHeight()" feature and export it
to Python. Allows to increase the space margin at constant height.
To be used by the P&R conductor.
* Change: In Unicorn/cgt.py, when running a script, insert the current
working directory at head of the sys.path, not at the end. So installed
modules do not shadow local one.
* New: In Anabatic::Edge, new accessor "getRawcapacity()" to know the full
capacity of the edge, that is, the real maximum number of tracks that
can go through the associated side.
* Change: In Katana/BloatProfile/Slice::tagsOverloaded(), bloating policy
change, now bloat all the instances under the GCell, not only the first
one.
* Change: In KatanaEngine::runGlobalRouter(), restore the search halo growth
policy to expanding of 3 GCells every 3 iterations.
New metrics displayed, the edge wire length length overload.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins/ConductorPlugin.py, now accepts the following
configuration parameters:
- "anabatic.globalIterationsEstimate", maximum number of global
iterations during the bloating computation passes.
- "conductor.useFixedAbHeight", tells wether the additionnal blank
space must be added so the aspect ratio is kept or the height is
kept (and the block become wider).
Disable the display of "rubber" to unclutter a little the view.
This commit contains two set of features that should have been commited
separately.
1. Compliance with clang 5.0.1, tested with the RedHat collection
llvm-toolset-7. This allow Coriolis to be compiled under Darwin (MacOS)
with Xcode & macports. The bootstrap install system has been modificated
accordingly.
2. The basic support for routing density driven placement. Related
features are:
* Bloat property. Each Occurrence of an Instance can be individually
bloated. This property not attached to any tool to allow the placer and
router to share it as wanted. Nevertheless, it is defined in Etesian.
* BloatProfile in Katana, add individual Bloat properties to Instances
occurrences based on the East & North overflowed edges of each GCell.
* Support in ToolEngine for a "pass number" of a tool. This pass number
is mainly used to make "per pass" measurements. The MeasureSet system
is improved accordingly to support multiple values of a same measure.
* Embryo of "P&R Conductor" to perform the place & route loop until the
design is successfully placed. May be the first brick of a Silicon
Compiler.
* Change: In boostrap/FindBoostrap.cmake, in setup_boost(), added tag to
the python component for macport (ex: python27).
* Change: In boostrap/build.conf, put etesian before anabatic for
instance occurrence BloatProperty dependency.
Added option support for the "llvm-toolset-7" collection to build
against clang 5.0.1.
* Bug: In Hurricane::getRecord( const pair<T,U>& ), the getSlot<> templates
for first & second arguments must be called with <const T> and <const U>
as the pair itself is const (and not simply <T> & <U>).
* Change: In Hurricane::getSlot() temlate, only use "string" arguments and
not const string&, simpler for template argument deduction.
* Bug: In Hurricane::AnalogCellExtension, the StandardPrivateProperty<>
template has a static member "_name". Clang did show that the template
for this static number has to be put inside the namespace where the
template *is defined* (i.e. Hurricane) instead of the namespace where
it is instanciated (i.e. Analog).
* Bug: In Isobar, Matrix_FromListOfList(), PyInt_AsPlacementStatus() must
be put outside the C linkage back in the Isobar C++ namespace (clang).
* Bug: In Hurricane::DBo::~DBo, and derived add a throw() specification
(clang).
* Bug: In Hurricane::RegularLayer::getEnclosure() & setEnclosure(), change
signature so it matches the one of the base class (clang).
* Bug: In Hurricane::CellPrinter, use double brackets for initializer list
(clang).
* Change: In Hurricane::Breakpoint, reverse the meaning of the error level.
Only error level *lesser or equal* than the stop level will be enabled.
* Bug: In CRL/python/helpers/__init__.loadUserSettings(), must put the
current working directory in the sys.path as in certain configuration
it may not be included.
* Bug: In CRL::ApDriver, DumpSegments(), no longer generate segments when
encountering a RoutingPad on a top-level Pin Occurrence. The segment
was generated in the wrong direction, creating DRC violations on the
"mips_core_flat" example.
* Change: In CRL::Measures, partial re-design of the measurements management.
Now, each kind of measure can accept multiple values put in a vector.
The index is intented to match a tool run number.
* Change: In CRL::Histogram, add support for multiple sets of datas,
indexeds with tool run number.
* Change: In CRL::ToolEngine, add support for multiple pass number, add
addMeasure<> templates for the various data-types.
* Change: In CRL::gdsDriver & CRL::gdsParser(), comment out unused GDS record
name constants.
* New: Etesian::BloatProperty, property to attach to Instance occurrences
that contains the extra number of pitch to add to the cell width.
* Bug: In AutoSegment::CompareByDepthLength, the segment length comparison
was wrong, it was always returning true, which broke the "strick weak
ordering" of the comparison.
This was producing a core-dump in GCell::updateDensity() when sorting
a vector<>. The end() iterator was being dereferenced, leading to the
problem.
* Bug: In Katana::DataSymmetric::checkPairing(), the test for segments
whose axis is perpandicular to the symmetry axis was wrong
("!=" instead of "-").
* New: In Katana/GlobalRoute, new ::selectSegments(), selectOverloadedgcells()
and selectBloatedInstances() to automatically select segments from
overloaded edges, overloaded GCells and bloated cells.
* Change: In KatanaEngine, return a more detailed success state, distinguish
between global and detailed.
Add support for multiple routing iterations.
* New: In cumulus/python/plugins/ConductorPlugin.py, embryo of routing
driven placement.
* Change: In Hurricane::DBo::CompareById, starting from gcc 8, the compare
function is checked inside the STL map<>/set<> so the lhs & rhs arguments
are of the exact type of the Key, even excluding a base class.
So now, in complement of the normal function, we provide a templated
comparison functor in CompareById.
* Bug: In CRL/python/helpers/__init__.py, in textPythonTrace(), when an
ErrorMessage was catched, the trace parameter was not correctly
extracted leading to an "exception in exception".
* New: In Isobar/PyCell, exported Cell::getNonLeafInstanceOccurrences()
collection.
* New: In Isobar/PyTransformation, type is now built so the tp_compare
is linked to the C++ operator==().
* Change: In Hurricane::SelectionModel, Hurricane::SelectionWidget and
CellWidget, no longer use Occurrences but directly the Selector property.
We also use the Selector to know if an Occurrence is selected by
looking at that property on it's Quark. This avoid a very lengthy
search in vector when there is many elements (say > 10000).
NOTE: This is a bad implementation as there is a confusion between
beeing selected (that is, having a Selector property attached to
an Occurrence Quark) and being actually displayed as selected.
This lead to awkward implatation of the various "toggle" methods.
Have to rethink that more clearly later.
* Bug: In CRL::Histogram, the non-inline template full specialisation
of Measure<Histogram> must not be put in the header but in the module
to avoid multiple definition and link failure. They are actually
real, classic functions.
* Change: In Hurricane::Isobar/PyHurricane.h, make the hash function use
the DBo id whenever possible instead of the object pointer, fall back
to it for standalone objects (Box like one). The DirectHashMethod()
macro generate a C style function (linkage) which call a template
function "getPyHash<>()" that uses a SFINAE mechanism to select
the right variant.
Create two comparison macros DirectCmpByPtrMethod() and
DirectCmpByValueMethod() to customize the comparison for objects that
have C++ operator==(). So now two boxes with the same contents will
be seen equal by Python. For DBo objects we keep the previous
comparison by C++ pointer.
* New: In BasicLayer::Material, added "info" kind of material for layers
that are only informationals (i.e. not real GDS one). Created to
store geometric combination of layers, this is a temporary solution.
Have to define a clearer semantic for that.
* New: In CRL/helpers/AnalogTechno.py, new "Count" type for count numbers
that must not go through DbU::Unit converter. They are plain integers,
but stored in DbU::Unit (keeping track of that semantic is left to
the user).
* New: In Analog, added Analog::ResitorFamily & Analog::Resistor classes.
* New: In Analog, added inspector support for all Parameter classes.
* New: In Analog, new FloatParameter class (for resistor value).
* New: In CRL/etc/scn6m_deep_09/devices.py, added resistor device.
* New: In Oroshi, support for Resistors, stub for ResistorSnake generator.
* New: In Bora::DNodeSets, added support for Resistor devices.
* Change: In Bora::DSlicingNode, rename setNFing()/getNFing() into
setBoxSetIndex()/getBoxSetIndex() for semantic coherency.
* New: In Karakaze/python/AnalogDesign.py, added support for Resistor.
Change in addDevice(), the span which was only meaningful for
transistor devices is replaced by a parameter argument.
The parameter argument has to be consistent with the device type.
* Bug: In Technology::getPhysicalRule(), if the named layerdo not exists,
throw an exception instead of silently putting a NULL pointer inside
a rule.
* New: In Hurricane/Analog, new parameters classes for capacitor devices:
- Analog::Matrix, a matrix of null or positives integers to encode
capacitor matrix matching.
- Analog::Capacities, a list of float values for all component of a
multi-capacitor.
* New: In Hurricane::Script, add a "getFileName()" method to get the full
path name of the Python module.
* Change: In Analog::LayoutGenerator, completly remove the logger utility
as it is no longer used. Simply print error messages instead.
* Change: In Analog::MetaCapacitor, rename top & bottom plate 'T' & 'B'.
Accessors renamed in "getTopPlate()" & "getBottomPlate()".
* New: In Analog::MultiCapacitor, complete rewrite. Makes use of the
new parameters "capacities" and "matrix". Dynamically generates it's
terminals as we do not know beforehand how many capacitors could be
put in it.
* Bug: In isobar/PyHurricane.h, in Type object definition, do not prepend
a "Py" to class name (so the keep the C++ name).
* Change: In CRL/etc/scn6m_deep_09/devices.py, add entry for the new
capacitor generator.
* New: In oroshi/python/ParamsMatrix, add a "family" entry in the [0,0]
element to distinguish between transistor, capacitor and resistor.
(this is the matrix of values returned to the LayoutGenerator after
device generation).
Now have one "setGlobalParams()" function per family.
* New: In oroshi/python/Rules.py, added DTR rules needed by capacitors.
Catch exceptions if something wrong append when we extract the rules
from the technology.
* New: In Bora, the devices are no longer *only* transistors, so the
possibles configurations are no longer defined only by a number of
fingers. We must be able to support any kind of range of configuration.
So the explicit range of number of fingers is replaced by a base
class ParameterRange, and it's derived classes:
- Bora::StepParameterRange, to encode the possible number of fingers
of a transistor (the former only possibility).
- Bora::MatrixParameterRange, to encode all the possible matching
scheme for a capacitor. As there is no way to compress it, this
is a vector of Matrix (from Analog).
* Change: In Bora::DSlicingNode::_place(), the ParameterRange has to be set
on the right configuration (through the index) before being called.
The generation parameters are taken from the active item in the
ParameterRange.
* Change: In Bora::NodeSets::create(), iterate over the ParameterRange
to build all the configuration. Adjustement to the routing gauge
pitchs are moved into the DBoxSet CTOR to save a lot of code.
Semantic change: the index in the NodeSets is now the index in
the associated ParameterRange and no longer the number of fingers
of a transistor.
Check that the ParameterRange dynamic class is consitent with the
device family.
* Change: In Bora::DBoxSet, same semantic change as for NodeSets, the
number of finger become an index in ParameterRange.
In DBoxSet::create(), now also perform the abutment box adjustement
to the RoutingGauge, if possible.
* New: In Karakaze/python/AnalogDesign.py, add support for Capacitor
devices.
* 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).
* Change: In Hurricane::Script, when running a script, no longer do it
inside a Python sun-interpreter, use the current one. This way we
no longer have our modules initialized twice or more, which was
starting to be unmanageable (with the NDA support).
The settings were re-read multiple time to the same value, so it
was working, but still...
I hope I didn't left some dangling Python objects now.
* Bug: In Hurricane::LayoutGenerator::drawLayout(), get the device abutment
box though a Pyhon object *before* finalizing which removes that objet.
* New: In cumulus/plugins/__init__.py, add a "loadPlugins()" and static
initialisation to preload plugins modules.
We use that pre-loading step to append to the module __path__ attribute
the alternate directory where a NDA covered may be found. This assume that
the directory tree under the NDA root is identical to the one under the
public root.
* New: In cumulus/plugins/chip/__init__.py, small utility function
importContants() to import the constants inside another module namespace,
to have more consise notations.
* Change: In cumulus/plugins/, in the various plugins sub-modules import
use the full path from plugins, that is, for example:
from plugins.core2chip.CoreToChip import IoPad
* Change: In Unicorn/python/unicornInit.py, no longer directly load the
plugins modules, this is now done by cumulus/plugins/__init__.py.
Instead, iterate through sys.modules for the ones starting by "plugins/"
and try to execute a Unicorn hook, if present.
* Change: In Karakaze/python/AnalogDesign.py, update for the new Instance.create()
prototype (added placement parameter).
* Bug: In Cumulus/plugins/core2chip/CoreToChip.py, when creating the ioNet
objects, when a signal is an enable we must not set the external chip
net (the name for the PAD terminal) as it may be set later if it is
also used as an individual pad.
* Change: In Hurricane::Cell_LeafInstanceOccurrences, add the ability to
walkthrough the leaf of one specific top-level instance.
* Change: In Hurricane::Cell_NonLeafInstanceOccurrences, add the ability to
walkthrough the leaf of one specific top-level instance.
* Change: In Hurricane::Cell:
getLeafInstanceOccurrences() and getNonLeafInstanceOccurrences(), now
have a parameter Instance* to select the leafs we want to walk through.
If set NULL (default value) browse through all the instances,
as before.
* Change: In Hurricane::DeepNet, add forgotten Inspector support.
* New: In EtesianEngine, add a "block" (and Instance) attribute to allow
the placement of one specific bloc. If we want to place the core of
a chip and take into account the external terminals (if they are not
already fixed as Pins at the edge of *said* block). We must place
the core *in the context* of it's instanciation in the corona.
Note for G. Gouvine : Pin & external RP should be taken into account
starting at line 629 of EtesianEngine.cpp...
* New: In cumulus/plugins/chip/Chip.py, make use of the new block
placement feature of ETesian.
* Bug: In KatanaEngine::create(), perform a pre-check to prevent trying to
route whole chip, which is forbidden an leads to annoying core-dumps.
Routing must take place "at most" at Corona level.
* Bug: In KatanaEngine::PowerRails, create a plane for METAL1 blockage.
Not completely sure this was a bug...
* Change: In Hurricane::SharedName, replace the incremental Id by a hash key.
This is to ensure better deterministic properties. Between use cases,
additional strings may have to be allocated, shitfing the ids. Even if
hash can be duplicated, we should be able to ensure that the absolute
order in map table should be preserved. Supplemental strings are inserted
in a way that keep the previous order.
* Change: In CRL/etc/symbolic/cmos/kite.conf, add "katabatic.routingGauge"
default parameter value ("sxlib").
* Change: In CRL/etc/common/technology.conf, define minimal spacing for
symbolic layers too (added for METAL4 only for now).
* Change: In CRL::Histogram, extend support to dynamically sized histograms.
Add a text pretty print with table and pseudo-curve.
* Change: In Cumulus/plugins/ClockTreePlugin, create blockage under the
block corona corners so the global router do not draw wire under them.
This was creating deadlock for the detailed router.
When the abutment has to be computed, directly use Etesian to do it
instead of duplicating the computation in the Python plugin.
* New: In Etesian, as Coloquinte seems reluctant to evenly spread the
standard cells, we trick it by making them bigger during the placement
stage. Furthermore, we do not not uniformely increase the size of the
cells but create a "bloating profile" based on cell size, cell name
or it's density of terminals. Currently only two profiles are defined,
"disabled" which does nothing and "nsxlib" targeted on 4 metal layer
technologies (aka AMS 350nm, c35b4).
* Bug: In Knik::MatrixVertex, load the default routing gauge using the
configuration parameter "katabatic.routingGauge" as the default one
may not be the first registered one.
* New: In AnabaticEngine::setupNetDatas(), build a dynamic historgram of
the nets terminal numbers.
* Bug: In Anabatic::AutoContact::Invalidate(), always invalidate the
contact cache when topology is invalidated. In case of multiple
invalidations, if the first did not invalidate the cache, later one
that may need it where not allowed to do so. The end result was correct
nonetheless, but it did generate annoying error messages.
* Bug: In Anabatic::AutoContactTurn::updateTopology(), bad computation
of the contact's depth when delta == 2.
* Bug: In Anabatic::Gcell::getCapacity(), was always returning the west
edge capacity, even for the westermost GCell, should be the east
edge in that case.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, introduce a new measure "distance to
terminal". This is the minimal number of segments separating the
current one from the nearest RoutingPad. This replace the previous
"strong terminal" and "weak terminal" flags.
This distance is used by Katana to sort the events, we route the
segments *from* the RoutingPads *outward*. The idea being that if we
cannot event connect to the RoutingPad, there is no points continuing
as thoses segments are the more constraineds. This gives an order close
to the simple ascending metals but with better results.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, introduce a new flag "Unbreakable", disable
dogleg making on those segments. mainly intended for local segments
directly connecteds to RoutingPads (distance == 0).
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, more aggressive reducing of segments.
Now the only case where a segment cannot be reduced is when it is
one horizontal branch in a HTee or a vertical on a VTee. Check if,
when not accounted the source & target VIAs are still connex, if so,
allow reducing.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoContact, new state flags CntVDogleg & CntHDogleg
mainly to prevent making doglegs twice on a turn contact. This is to
limit over-fragmentation. If one dogleg doesn't solve the problem,
making a second one will make things worse only...
* Bug: In Anabatic::Configuration::selectRpcomponent(), we were choosing
the component with the *smallest* span instead of the *bigger* one.
* New: In Anabatic::GCell, introduce a new flag "GoStraight" to tell that
no turn go be made inside those GCells. Mainly used underneath a block
corona.
* New: In AnabaticEngine::layerAssign(), new GCellRps & RpsInRow to manage
GCells with too many terminals. Slacken at least one RoutingPad access
when there is more than 8 RoutingPad in the GCell (slacken or change
a vertical METAL2 (non-preferred) into a METAL3).
* Change: In Anabatic::NetBuilderHV, allow the use of terminal connection
in non-preferred direction. That is, vertical METAL2 directly connected
to the RoutingPad (then a horizontal METAL2). This alllows for short
dogleg without clutering the METAL3 layer (critical for AMS c35b4).
Done in NetBuilderHV::doRp_Access(), with a new UseNonPref flag.
Perform some other tweaking on METAL1 access topologies, to also
minimize METAL3 use.
* New: In AnabaticEngine::computeNetConstraints(), also compute the
distance to RoutingPad for segments. Set the Unbreakable flag, based
on the distance and segment length (local, short global or long global).
New local function "propagateDistanceFromRp()".
* Change: In AnabaticEngine.h, the sorting class for NetData, SparsityOrder,
is modificated so net with a degree superior to 10 are sorted first,
whatever their sparsity. This is to work in tandem with GlobalRouting.
* New: In Katana::TrackSegmentNonPref, introduce a class to manage segment
in non-preferred routing direction. Mostly intended for small METAL2
vertical directly connected to RoutingPad. Modifications to manage
this new variant all through Katana.
* Change: In Katana::GlobalRoute, DigitalDistance honor the GoStraight flag
of the GCell. Do not make bend inside thoses GCells.
* Change: In KatanaEngine::runGlobalRouter(), high degree nets (>= 10) are
routed first and whitout the global routing estimation. There should be
few of them so they wont create saturations and we want them as straight
as possible. Detour are for long be-points.
Set the saerch halo to one GCell in the initial routing stage (before
ripup).
* Bug: In KatanaEngine & NegociateWindow, call _computeCagedconstraints()
inside NegociateWindow::run(), as segments are inserted into tracks
only at that point so we cannot make the computation earlier.
* Change: In Katana::Manipulator::repackPerpandiculars(), add a flag to
select whether to replace the perpandiculars *after* or *before* the
current segment.
* Change: In Katana::NegociateWindow::NegociateOverlapCost(), when the
segment is fully enclosed inside a global, the longest overlap cost
is set to the shortest global hoverhang (before or after).
When the cost is for a global, set an infinite cost if the overlapping
segment has a RP distance less or equal to 1 (this is an access segment).
* Bug: In Katana::PowerRailsPlane::Rail::doLayout(), correct computation of
the segments extension cap.
* New: In Katana::QueryPowerRails::addToPowerRail(), add support for Pad.
* Change: In Katana/PreProcess::protectCagedTerminals(), apply the contraints
to any turn connected to the first segment of the RoutingPad so the
perpandicular constraints got propagated to the perpandicular segment...
* Change: In RoutingEvent, cache the "distance to RP" value.
* Change: In RoutingEvent::Key::compare(), sort *first* on distance to
RoutingPad, then layer depth. If both distance to RoutingPad is null,
then sort on segment length.
* Change: In RoutingEvent::_processRepair(), try a repack perpandicular with
perpandiculars first (then with perpandicular last, then give up).
* Change: In SegmentFsm::bindToTrack() and moveToTrack(), set an axis hint
when creating the insertion event.
* Change: In SegmentFsm::_slackenStrap(), add a step through slacken between
minimize and maximum slack (wihch directly end up in unimplemented).
* Change: In Session::_addInsertEvent(), add an axis parameter needed when
the axis of the segment is not the one of the track (case of wide
segments or non-preferred direction).
* Bug: In Track::_preDestroy(), bad management of the TrackElement reference
count. Destroy the segment only when reaching zero...
* Bug: In Track::expandFreeIneterval(), forgotten to manage case when there
is a set of overlaping segments at the "end" of the track, the
EndIsTrackMax was not set.
* Change: In TrackCost::Compare, increase the cost when an overlaping
segment is at it's ripup limit. We should try *not* to rip it up if
we can. Add a dedicated flag "AtRipupLimit".
* Change: In TrackElement, add proxies for isUnbreakable(), new function
updateTrackSpan().
* New: In TrackFixedSegment CTOR, when a supply wire of METAL2 or above is
found, make the underlying GCells "GoStraight".
* New: In TrackElement::canDogleg(GCell*), check for already done perpandicular
dogleg on source/target (reject if so).
* New: In Isobar::PyCell, export the isRouted() and setRouted() to the
Python interface.
* Bug: In CRL::Entity::parseEntity(), check that the closing parenthesis
is the last character of the net name. Issue a more relevant error
message.
* In Anabatic::NetBuilder::_do_xG() and all other unimplemented methods,
throw an error if called from a derived classes instead of just
issuing a message in the debug stream. Avoid later core dumps...
* In Anabatic::NetBuilderHV, implement the builders for GCells with
one pin. Needed to support chip/corona routing.
* Bug: In Cumulus/plugins/Chip.py, check that coronaCk exists before
using it.
* New: In Cumulus/plugins/PadsCorona/Side._placePad(), when routing
a design with symbolic pads, export the chip external "pad"
connectors to be able to perform a lvx (otherwise cougar do not
create external nets).
In Corona._createCoreWire(), set the minimal gap between the pads
and the corona to 6 pitches. Empirical value to avoid DRC errors
with symbolic pads (pxlib).
When successufully done, mark the Corona cell as routed.
* Bug: In Cumulus/plugins/Core2Chip.IoNet, the regex for vectorizet net
was wrong, it was allowing only one digit in the index.
* Bug: In Cumulus/plugins/Core2Chip.cmos, correct management of
pad & corona clock nets. Correct connexion between vdde/vddi.
* Bug: In Unicorn/cgt.py, forgot to execute scripts when in text mode.
* Change: In Hurricane::Error constructors disable the backtrace generation.
(*very* slow).
* Change: In Hurricane::Library::getHierarchicalname(), more compact
naming. Remove the name of the root library.
* New: In Hurricane::Net, new type "FUSED", for component with no net.
More efficient than having one net for each.
* Change: In CellViewer, BreakpointWidget, use Angry Birds icons.
* Change: In CellWidget::State, use the hierarchical name (cached) as key
to the state. This allow to load two cells with the same name but from
different libraries in the widget history.
* Change: In PyGraphics, export "isEnabled()" and "isHighDpi()" functions.
* Change: In CRL/etc/symbolic/cmos/plugin.conf, and
CRL/etc/common/plugin.conf use the physical dimensions converters.
* Change: In CRL/etc/symbolic/cmos/technology.conf, make the GDS layer
table coherent with the default Alliance cmos.rds.
* New: CRL/python/helpers/io.py, put ErrorMessage new implementation here,
along with a new ErrorWidget written in PyQt4. It seems finally that
PyQt4 can be used alongside Coriolis Qt widgets.
New ErrorMessage.catch() static function to manage all exceptions
in except clauses.
* Change: In CRL/python/helpers/, no longer use ErrorMessage.wrapPrint(),
directly print it.
Rewrite the utilities to display Python stack traces "textStacktrace()"
and "showStacktrace()".
* Change: In CRL::AllianceFramework, shorten the names of the libraries.
* Change: In CRL::ApParser & CRL::ApDriver, more accurate translation between
Alliance connectors (C record) and Hurricane::Pin objects. Pin are no
longer made square but thin and oriented in the connecting direction.
Use the new fused net for unnamed components.
* New: In CRL::GdsParser, implementation of SREF parsing, i.e. instances.
Due to the unordered nature of the GDS stream, instances creation are
delayed until the whole stream has been parsed and only then are they
created.
For the sake of reading back Alliance s2r GDS, we assume that any
TEXT following a boundary is the Net name the boundary (component)
belongs to.
Create abutment box for Cells, computed from the bounding box, so
the Hurricane QuadTree could work properly.
Make use of the fused net for unnamed components.
* New: In Cumulus/plugins/chip, complete rewrite of the I/O pad management.
Now we can mix real (foundry) pads and a symbolic core.
To cleanly support the de-coupling between the real part and the
symbolic one we introduce a new intermediary hierarchical level, the
corona. We have now:
Chip --> Pads + Corona --> Core.
At chip level (and if we are using real pads) the layout is fully
real (excepting the corona).
The Corona contains everything that is symbolic. It has symbolic
wires extending outward the abutment box to make contact with the
real wires coming from the pads.
In the pad ring we can use corners instances (or not), pad spacers
or directly draw wires between connectors ring pads.
Provide two flavors: placement only or full place & route.
WARNING: If routing in a second step, *do not route* the *Chip* but
the *Corona*.
* Change: In Cumulus/plugins/clocktree, give the modified Cell an
additional extension of "_cts" (Clock Tree Synthesis) instead of
"_clocked", to follow the common convention.
* New: In cumulus/plugins/S2R.py, encapsulate call to Alliance S2R and
reload the translated Cell in the editor.
* New: In cumulus/plugins/core2chip, provide an utility to automatically
create a chip from a core. To work this plugins must have a basic
understanding of the pad functionalities which may differs from
foundry to foundry. So a base class CoreToChip is created, then for
each supported pad foundry a derived class is added. Currently we
support AMS c35b4 and Alliance symbolic cmos.
* Bug: In Anabatic::Configuration, read the right configuration parameter
"anabatic.topRoutinglayer" (Katana), and not the one for Katabatic...
* Change: In Unicorn/cgt.py, process the plugins in alphabetical order
to ensure a reproductible ordering of the menus...
* Change: In Hurricane::CellViewer, reorganisation of the to level menus.
Add "Misc." and it's two sub-menus "Beta" and "Obsolete".
* Change: In GraphicKiteEngine::addToMenu(), set Kite in the obsolete menu.
* Change: In GraphicKatanaEngine::addToMenu(), set Katana as the standart
router.
* Bug: In Hurricane python module, forgot to add the Segment type.
* Change: In Isobar/layer.getEnclosure() wrapper check and cast the Layer
argument into BasicLayer.
* Change: In CRL::RoutingGauge::getLayerGauge(Layer*), getLayerType() and
getLayerDirection() no longer check layer identity based on layer
mask instead of just Layer* pointer. To allow a unified call wether
the layer is real or symbolic.
* Change: In CRL::RoutingLayerGauge::getTrackIndex() and getTrackPositon(),
no longer consider negative indexes as invalid and reset them to
zero. The check for out of bound index is now left to Anabatic &
Katana.
* Change: In CRL/RoutingGauge.getRoutingLayer() and getContactLayer(),
more detailed error message.
* Change: In CRL/RoutingLayerGauge.getTrackIndex() and getTrackPosition(),
indexes are now signed long instead of unsigned.
