- New: A Bookshelf autonomic parser/driver. Made to parse and manipulate
the ISPD04 benchmarks (ibm 01-18 series). Currently parses/drives
.nodes, .nets, .scl, .pl, the .wts is not implemented yet.
- Bug: In Configuration::writeToStream(), percentage parameters values where
incorrectly written (divideds by 100).
- Bug: In ConfEditorMain, read the "dot" configuration file *after* the
system one.
- Change: New problem identified with the Python modules: each module seems
to be built as a complete binary, so all the static C++ initializers are
allocated in each module. In particular the C++ tree inheritance is built
for *each* module so we cannot longer uses the typeid() comparisons
across modules... It was used by boost::program_options to perform is
casts with boost::any and was starting throwing exceptions because of
bad casts. program_option was first initialized in "configuration"
first included by PyViewer then in PyCRL (see Utilities.cpp).
A first solution is to re-order the import of Python modules in
stratus1/st_model so that CRL is imported first.
The second is to not not link "configuration" with boost::program_option
as only the binary vlsisapd-conf-editor needs it.
That is a serious problem of which we must be aware and can cause further
strange behaviors.
Debug code used to diagnostic has been kept commented in the sources a
it may be needed again :-(
This behavior do not affect our singletons because they are part of
dynamic libraries that seems to be correctly shared between the various
Python modules.
* ./vlsisapd:
- Change: In Configuration CMakeLists.txt, add Boost_LIBRARIES only on the
target_link_libraries() of the binary, not the libraries, as they are
not needed there and cause later trouble.
Since in CMakeLists.txt there is already a module target (for c++ library) and some file systems are not case sensitive, the target is still pyMODULE but the OUTPUT_NAME property is set to MODULE
I've updated all the example python scripts.
system component does not exist in boost 1.33
!!!!! Merci de ne commiter AUCUN changement dans vlsisapd tant que Jean-Paul et moi n'avons pas résolu les problèmes de bibliothèques statiques !!!!!!
undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()'
symptoms that boost_system was not used at the linking phase
at least on my system (mac OSX leopard with apple gcc and boost 1.43.0)
solution: add the dependency
when defining rule<minSpacing, nWell, active>
and then rule<minSpacing, nWell>
in technology file
the first rule was ever return even if techno.getRule(minSpacing, nWell) was called.
JP need to check if it the 'static variable bug' still occurs
Note that in openChams I added SimulModel support, it has not yet been tested, and driver does not support it.
- 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.
- New: More thorough type checking of parameter's type while setting/
getting.
- New: In Parameter, callback mechanism (trimmed down Observer pattern)
to uses whenever Qt signal/slots are not used. This is needed to
maintain data coherency througout the software.
* agds :
- all agds object now belong to AGDS namespace
- 'Gds' has been removed from all filenames
* cif
- all cif objects now belong to CIF namespace
- 'Cif' has been removed from all filenames
* dtr
- minor modifications in CMakeLists.txt since Boost Python is now used by other driver & parser
ADDS
