* New: In Bootstrap, in ccb.py, check if cmake is installed and issue
a warning, if not.
* New: In Hurricane, added Cell::getDeepNet() to search for a deepnet
given a path and a leaf net. This method is slow and must not be
used too often. Introduced for Kite::BuildPowerRails().
* Change: In CRL Core, in cmos/alliance.conf, modify the clock name
pattern to match the sub-clock signals in the datapath operators.
* Bug: In Etesian, do not blindly reset the top cell abutment-box.
Do it only if it's empty, otherwise keep it.
* Bug: In Kite, in buildPowerRails(), in getRootNet() the management
of clock nets was incomplete. The case of unrouted clock nets
that where not connected to the top core clock net, like the
one in the datapath registers was faulty. They were partly
recognized as unrouteds and partly as blockage generating a
routing deadlock: routage impossible due to blockage generated
from itself...
* New: In Stratus1, add a buildModel() utility function to automate
the model generation and allow a call by the model name (string).
* Change: In Unicorn, in cgt.py, display the Alliance environement.
* 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.
* New: In Bootstrap, in Builder & coriolisEnv.py support for RHEL7/SL7.
The sub-directory name is 'el7_64'.
In qt_setup() add QtSvg to list of Qt5 & Qt4 used libraries.
* New: In Hurricane, In Cell add a placeholder for flags. First use to
store whether the Nets have been transhierarchically flatteneds.
* New: In Hurricane, In NetRoutingState add an Unconnected flag for
more accurate diagnosis.
* New: Hurricane, in CellViewer add an entry menu for stress tests.
The script must be named "stressScript.py" in the cwd.
* Change: In CRL Core, in display.conf add a scaling parameter for the
display threhold of the layer. This way we can adapt to different
standard cells height.
* Change: In CRL Core, in ISPD05 bookshelf loader, use the pitch of the
cell gauge instead of a hard-wired 5.0.
* Change: In Cumulus, in ClockTreePlugin, add support for Etesian placer
and a new configuration parameter to choose between Mauka/Etesian.
* New: In Etesian, support for the latest Coloquinte.
Add feed insertion stage.
* Bug: In Kite, In BuildPowerRails, check that _ck is not NULL before
tring to access it's name...
* Change: In Kite, check if the Cell has it's Nets flattened before
doing it (or not).
* 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.
* Change: In Bootstrap, in FindBoostrap.cmake, install in system-wide
directories /etc or /opt only if the the installation path is
exactly /usr or /opt and not only beginning with it.
* Change: In bootstrap, in ccb, builder and coriolisEnv.py, correct detection
of the windows architecture (32 or 64 bits). Under Cygwin, add the
directory of the dll into the PATH also. Uses "site-package" as the
location of Python modules (*not* "dist-package").
Use gnu++0x under Cygwin instead of c++11.
* Change: In Etesian, if Coloquinte is not found, do not stop the compilation,
just disable the tool altogether.
* Change: In Hurricane, In Backtrace, disable backtrace under Cygwin as it
uses features specific of the glibc.
* Change: In Knik, use HUGE_VAL instead of HUGE (not present under Cygwin),
add the <cmath> header.
* Change: In Unicorn, Coloquinte no longer stops the compilation.
* 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.
* New: In all to CMakeLists.txt, disable the warning about deprecated
WIN32 under cygwin.
* New: In boostrap, in ccb.py, coriolisEnv.py and builder/Configuration.py
add recognition in uname for the values returned under Windows/Cygwin.
* New: In Documenation, in UsersGuide.rst add some informations about
Cygwin and a section for the devel branch.
When upgrading from doxygen 1.5.x to 1.8.5 the way the documentation
is generated has underwent many changes, particularly in the headers.
* Change: In <header.html>, must include the javascripts <jquery.js>
and <dynsections.js>.
* In <CMakeLists.txt>, as the header is customized, doxygen seems not
copy some files like the javascripts and some images (open.png,
closed.png). So we copy them from doxygen installation and make
the CMakeLists.txt install them. I hope they will not change too
much in the future.
* In <doxyfile>, disable markdown support as it do not interpret
correctly the formating we already adopted (with a left margin
to put command into). Use HTML_EXTRA_STYLESHEET instead of
HTML_STYLESHEET. Enable the index (DISABLE_INDEX=NO), for the
top header. Enable dot for inheritance diagram. Set the
EXAMPLE_PATH=. to include the synthetic hierarchy.
Correct the tag inclusion (faulty path in some places).
* In <SoC.css>, create style for the new header generated by doxygen.
* In the documentation, move the synthetic hierarchy into a module.
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.
Details:
* New: in <bootstrap>: add support for devtoolset-2 in ccb. Run the
cmake commands through 'scl', set shell environment variables
BOOST_INCLUDEDIR & BOOST_LIBRARYDIR and disable the default
system path search.
* Change: In various flex scanners add the %nounput to suppress
compiler warnings.
* Change: Little cleanup for g++ 4.8.1 as it's more strict.
* Change: In various top CMakeLists.txt, suppress extraneous '/'
after DESTDIR.
Documentation restructuration:
* Bug: in <hurricane>: bad figure for transf-R1.
* Change, in <kite>: Remove deprecated configuration variables.
* New: documentation <tool> to regroup all documentation not directly
related to one tool.
* Change, in <crlcore>, move the user's guide and the top doc index
into <documentation>.
* New, in <documenation>: added Python script demo based on AM2901.
Details:
* Change, in build.conf: re-added support for the newly migrated Chams
project.
* Bug, in bootstrap/../Project.py: the tool by tool compilation was
not working. Now it does (argument "--tool").
* New, in boostrap/../cmake_modules: support for retreiving the Git
hash number (SHA1). Borrowed on the net from (kudos):
Ryan Pavlik <rpavlik@iastate.edu>
Project hierarchy reorganisation:
* With svn, we were doing a tool by tool checkout, suppressing the
whole repository hierarchy level.
* The tools were also grouped, inside one repository, into multiple
projects (<bootstrap>, <vlsisapd>, <coriolis>).
* We do not want to split up each tool into a separate repository,
given their tight integration (except for vlsisapd).
* We choose to simplify, and consider all tools in a svn repository
one project. Due to the way Git clone repositories, the directory
containing the project is now to be seen under "src/".
CMake modifications:
* Now that the <vlsisapd> and <bootstrap> projects are merged into
coriolis, modificate the top CMakeLists.txt of each tool to uses
only Coriolis (and bootstrap hard wired).
CCB compile script modifications:
* Uses the new source tree hierarchy, with the project directory
inserted.
* Remove (comment) all parts relateds to svn managment.
* Git is sufficiently simple so that we do not want to integrate
command shortcut into the script.
SVN cleanup:
* Remove the obsolete <chamsin> tool, that has become the full fledged
<chams> project long time ago.
- New: Complete rewrite of builCoriolis.py & merge with easyChams to provide
a graphical interface. Asides to the GUI, when run in graphic mode all
settings are kept from run to run. Meaning that once the initial setup
is done, a user may completly forget where things are... The new tool
is named <ccb> for 'Coriolis & Chams Builder'.
The Builder is now a module, that is split into multiples files.
The old buildCoriolis.py is kept for the time beeing to ensure a smooth
transition.
- New: In buildCoriolis.py, in the svnCheckout command, if the source
directory do not exists, create it (recursively).
- Change: In buildCoriolis.py, in the svnCheckout command, take the svn
tag version number in account now...
- Change: In debian/coriolis2.doc-base, small correction on the
documentation files to include.
- Change: In Makefile.package, crlcore & unicorn now generate
documentations.
- New: Support for tarball directly from the user checkout (--user-tarball).
- New: Full parametrization through a "build.conf" file.
- Change: Uses user-defined exceptions to terminate.
- New: guessOs() now detect FreeBSD 8.
* ./bootstrap/coriolisEnv.py,
./bootstrap/coriolis2.sh:
- Bug: 'lib64' instead of '64' under Linux.
- New: guessOs() now detect FreeBSD 8.
- Change: Remove support for Coriolis 1. No more --v2 option either, Coriolis2
selected by default. Python paths also set by default.
- Bug: In ./cmake_modules/FindBootstrap.cmake, fix small message display
typos. No 'IN LISTS' in forach call. Force variable lookup in
SEARCH_SETUP_DIR in foreach summarizing the search path.
- Change: For the setup_sysconfdir() boostrap/cmake macro uses the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to guess where we are being installed.
Should be more reliable than any *_TOP environment variable.
* ./bootstrap:
- Change: In builCoriolis.py, detect not only when the X_TOP is not
sets but also when it's sets to an empty value. In either case
gives priority of the X_USER_TOP over the X_TOP.
- New: "debian" directory holding the paraphernalia needed to create a
Debian/Ubuntu package.
- New: In buildCoriolis, add a Debian packaging method.
- Change: In coriolis2.spec, the build/install procedure now makes uses of
the top-level Makefile.
- Change: In FindBoostrap, detection of the distribution type. Finally not
needed but kept here, just in case. Based on "lsb_release".
- Change: In FindPythonSitePackages, simplificate the detection of the Python
site-package directory. No longer on-the-fly generate a python script.
- New: coriolisEnv.py, little helper script to setup the environment.
- New: Icon & desktop entry for Linux (doesn't work yet).
- Bug: In FindLEFDEF, uses LIB_SUFFIX to find libraries on 64 bits systems.
- Change: FindLEFDEF moved here from crlcore.
- Change: In FindLEFDEF, when LEF/DEF is not found sets the include and
library pathes to the empty chain "" instead of NOTFOUND which prevents
usage in derived CMakeLists.
- New: In buildCoriolis.py, support for the distribution patch.
The distribution patch do some customizations needed for the distribution.
- Change: In coriolis2.spec.in, support for patch, include starter
documentation. Do not prepend %{buildroot} to CORIOLIS_TOP environment
variables.
- Change: In coriolis2.spec.in, now do a install "in system", that is
under /usr witch configuration in /etc. Create a patch file to
sets up accordingly the pathes in configurations files.
- Change: More accurate detection of the qt version based on distribution
recognition (%{rhel} & %{fedora}).
- Change: adopt a tree layout compliant with the UNIX FHS.
* includes under TOP/include/coriolis2.
* shared datas under TOP/shared/coriolis2.
* docs under TOP/share/doc/coriolis2.
* configuration under TOP/etc/coriolis2
* ./crlcore:
- Change: In Environment, comply to the new tree layout, search configuration
files under TOP/etc/coriolis2/.
* ./knik:
- Change: In flute, comply to the new tree layout, get the "POW*.dat" files
from TOP/share/coriolis2/flute-2.4.
libraries gets installed in "lib64" instead of "lib".
buildCoriolis.py sets automatically LIB_SUFFIX for cmake.
coriolis2.spec modificated to uses lib64 on 64 bits.
- New: In buildCoriolis.py, support to build rpm packages (in user's "rpm"
directory).
- Added: coriolis2.spec.in for rpm building. Install under /opt/coriolis2.
This spec files has the particularity to also buildup a binary tarball
of the compiled & installed files, this avoid a second complete build
stage. The tarball is put into "rpm/SOURCES".
- 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.
- New: In buildCoriolis.py, adds a "--rm-build" option which removes the
tool's build directory before building it. A very crude way to ensure
that nothing obsolete form a previous build will gets in the way...
