* Change: In bootstrap/FindBootstrap.cmake, new setup_qwt() macro to
link with the Qwt library build with Qt 5 *or* Qt 4 and not the
first found.
* Change: In Hurricane/DbU, uses <int64_t> instead of <long> to always be
sure that we use 64 bits integers for coordinates.
* Change: In Katana/KatanaEngine::_gutKatana() checks that the
RoutingPlanes have been allocateds before trying to delete them.
* Change: coriolis2.spec.in, Makefile.package and Builder/ccb now support
RHEL6, RHEL7 & Fedora.
* Change: In Bootstrap, added a flag to activate compilation with
openmp.
* 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).
* 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.
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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
