* Bug: In Anabatic::AutoHorizontal::getGCells(), the y coordinate used
to perform the line probing for neighboring GCells, cannot use the
segment constraints because they are not correctly set this early.
Instead we have to rely on the global router having put them in the
correct position (i.e. at the center of the GCell side).
The y position must also be epsilon-decreased if it is on the
border of the nothernmost GCell.
This apply to AutoVertical as well.
* Change: In Anabatic::GCellTopology CTOR, when counting the RoutingPads
of a GCell, compare gauge layers using their masks instead of the
Layer itself. This allow for Analogic layers to be recognizeds.
* Bug: In Anabatic::RawGCellsUnder, *again*, the north and east borders
of the whole area *are* includeds (shut up disgraceful warning).
* New: In Anabatic::GCell, add a display mode to select between boundary
display (for analogic) and density display (for numeric).
* Bug: In KatanaEngine::runGlobalRouter(), do not check if an Edge cannot
be desatured when the vector or overloaded Edges is empty.
(one less disgraceful warning)
* New: In GraphicKatanaEngine::drawGCell(), support for drawing the GCells
in density mode. Use the fire scale and the MaxDensity mode.
Setup the GCell drawing mode in GraphicKatanaEngine::initGCell().
* Change: In GraphicKatanaEngine::drawEdge(), adjust the various thresholds
for showing the Edge and its label.
* New: In CRL Core, adds "anabatic.gcell.displayMode" to the set of Anabatic
parameters.
Adjust the showing threshold for GCells in "display.conf" so when the
zoom level is low, we still can see the density map.
- Modified: Matrix is now correctly updated for irregular floorplans.
Dijkstra:
- Modified: Source and Target contacts are now correctly chosen in _materialize.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in StaticObservable::getObserver(), if the slot
pointer is NULL, do not try to access the owner. Returns NULL, so
the caller can be aware of the situation...
* Change: In Hurricane, in BreakpointWidget & ExceptionWidget some
cosmetic changes (fonts and window sizes).
* Bug: In Anabatic, In AutoHorizontal::getConstraints(), take into account
the constraints from the source AutoContact, as it holds the constraints
transmitted by the RoutingPads and sets up by propageConstraintsFromRp().
It is likely to be a bug affecting the original Katabatic as well.
* Change: In Anabatic, in RawGCellsUnder(), check that the segment is not
completly oustside the cell abutment box and truncate the coordinates
to the part that is inside. Use the "shrink" if we reach the east/north
border.
* Change: In Anabatic, in Configuration, no more decorator because we will
use a true derived relationship. Katana *derives* from *Anabatic* and do
not *decorate* it, so the Configuration can do the same. It also implies
that we directly create a Katana engine, not an Anabatic one.
* Change: In Anabatic, in Session, do not allow the opening of the Session
in a standalone fashion (with a static method). Instead it must be opened
using the relevant method of the Anabatic/Katana engine. This ensure we
are opening the right Session type.
* Change: In Anabatic, in AutoSegment_Aligneds() collection the seed segment
is not part of the collection by default, but will be included if the
Flags::WithSelf is set.
* Change: In Configuration, all the flags value are now defined in two steps.
Declared in the header and initialized in the module. This is to prevent
the fact that on some cases, in relation with the Python "extern C" part
modules, we need a true allocated variable. It was causing weird linking
problems.
A side effect is that they can no longer be used as entry is switches,
have to replace them by if/else.
* New: In Anabatic, new GCell::getNeighborAt() utility function.
* Bug: In Anabatic, in GCell::doGrid(), tag all the GCells of the grid with
the grid type... Back annote all the edges capacity (north & east) with
the reserved local capacity.
* New: Complete portage of Kite over Anabatic. The new engine is christened
"Katana" for Kite-Analogic. When it's capabilities and performances
will be on a part with Kite, it is to completly replace it (and take
back the "Kite" name). Preliminary tests seems to show that, contrary
to intuition (because built on a more complex/slower grid), it is even
slightly faster than Kite 8-).
* Change: In Anabatic:
- Long wires, going straight accross multiple GCells were splitted
into a long sequence of segment+contact, one for each gone-through
GCell. It was memory-consuming and algorithmically inefficient.
Now there is only one straight wire.
As a consequence, Edges now store the list of all segments
going through them. That way we do not need to load a Net into
Dijkstra before riping up some of it's segment. The ripup mechanims
can now be implemented right at AnabaticEngine level, without
dependencies over Dijkstra. Note that long wires are automatically
broken in two if we need to attach a new branch on it (breakAt()).
And fused back into one if a branch is removed (unify()).
