* Bug: In Hurricane, in tstream (Commons.h), in the *template* overload of
operator<<(), do not use the operator<<() of ostream as it will be
looked up in "stage 1" (template definition) and so will miss all the
overloads added later and built over getString<>(). Instead, make use
of getString<>(), which, as another template will be looked up in
"stage 2" (template instanciation) and at that point will have all the
needed template specialisation of getString<>().
We also need to define new stream manipulators to be able to create
a matching template overload not dependant from the implementation.
To avoid name clashes, we prefix a 't'. For now, only 'tsetw()' is
refined.
As a side effect, we cannot directly print bit-fields into the stream,
we must go through an intermediate variable (happens once in AutoContact).
* Change: In Hurricane Commons.h, even when cdebug print nothing, it slow
down the program (three times for Kite!). Create a macro cdebug_log
which calls cdebug *only* if the debug level is active.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Flags add operator overload for "int" type
and not only "unsigned int". Otherwise the compiler complaints about
ambiguous overload when using enum values which are considered as
"int".
Simpler code for the BaseFlags::contains() method.
Added implicit conversion from BaseFlags toward bool type.
* Change: In Hurricane, in Commons, complete replacement of the previous
two trace systems (trace & ltrace) by a stream-based one.
As it is a true object it is much less fragile than the one based
on defines (but maybe a little slower).
Define a reservation table for the trace levels for all the
Coriolis & Chams components.
* Change: All tools, use the new trace system.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in AutoHorizontal::_slacken() when slackening
from a METAL2 terminal no longer set the terminal still on the
terminal fixed. Instead use a the new feature of
CntUserNativeConstraints.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in AutoContact, new flag CntUsernativeconstraints
so the native constraint box is specified by the user constraints.
This new possibility is needed because, if a Contact is fixed
the native constraint box *is* bound to it's current position.
But if the related segment is not fixed, and moved, it may move
the Contact with him, loosing the original fixed position.
Now we can remember the wanted position through the user
constraints.
* New: In Katabatic, in GCellConfiguration new explicit management
for 4 globals and one METAL2 (occured for the first time in the
RAM generator).
* In Katabatic, in GCellConfiguration, added support to 3G_2M2 (generic).
* In Katabatic, in GCellGrid, in getUSide() we were not using the correct
contant set (Constant namespace instead of Kb...) so the size returned
was always X. It doesn't show if the chip is square...
* In Kite, in Track::getBeginIndex(), if the position requested was enclosed
in same net segments, we were going one index too far in the "previous"
direction.
* In Kite, in Track::getOverlapBounds() we where going one index too far
in the "next" direction while computing the "end" index.
* Bug: In CRL Core, in BlifParser, recognize clocks (Alliance patterns).
* Change: In Cumulus, in RSavePlugin, "kw" manage a new "views" to
specify which views must be saved. Physical by default, but sometimes
we need logical as well. If the design contains uniquified cells,
save the logical view.
In ClockTree, abort the clock tree building if the design has no
top level clock.
* Change: In Katabatic, in GCellTopology, adds 2G_5M1 configuration.
* Bug: Kite, in BuildPowerRails, if we are not in a chip the nets
composing the H-Tree must be protecteds be blockages.
* Bug: In Hurricane, in HApplication, ExceptionWidget ans PyHurricane.h,
forgot to catch the Hurricane::Bug exception which was leading to
terminate() without explanations.
* Change: In Katabatic, In GCellTopology, now support one GCell with
five metal1 terminal of the same net. This unlikely configuration
did appear in the SNX for the first time...
* Change: In Katabatic, in GCellTopology::doRp_AccessPad(), if the supporting
RoutingPad is big (more than two pitch), do not put the access
contact in the center but on the edge. This is to avoid cut violations
between the VIAs and the matrix of VIAs that may be generated under the
RoutingPad itself.
* Change: In Kite, in TrackSegment destructor, if the legnth of the wire,
without extensions is less than one picth, enlarge it so it encompass
it's source & target VIAs (to avoid notches).
* Bug: In Kite, in Track destructor, the TrackElements where detacheds,
but not deleted, causing a memory link.
* Change: In Knik, in Vertex, add a "blocked" flag to signal disabled
vertexes in the grid (must not be used by the global router).
Modificate the Graph::getVertex() method so that when a vertex
is geometrically queried, if is a blocked one, return a non-blocked
neighbor. This mechanism is introduced to, at last, prevent the
global router to go *under* the pad in case of a commplete chip.
* New: In Katabatic, in AutoSegment, a new state has been added: "reduced".
A reduced segment is in the same layer as it's perpandiculars.
To be reduced, a segments has to be connected on source & target to
AutoContactTurn, both of the perpandiculars must be of the same layer
(below or above) and it's length must not exceed one pitch in the
perpandicular direction.
To reduce an AutoSegment, call ::reduce() and to revert the state,
call ::raise(). Two associated predicates are associated:
::canReduce() and ::mustRaise().
Note: No two adjacent segments can be reduced at the same time.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in GCellTopology, add a new method ::doRp_AccessPad()
to connect to the pads. Create wiring, fixed and non managed by
Katabatic, to connect the pad connector layer to the lowest routing
layers (depth 1 & 2). The former implementation was sometimes leading
to gaps (sheared contact) that *must not* occurs during the building
stage.
Remark: This bug did put under the light the fact that the initial
wiring must be created without gaps. Gaps are closed by making doglegs
on contacts. But this mechanism could only work when the database if
fully initialised (the cache is up to date). Otherwise various problems
arise, in the canonization process for example.
* New: In Katabatic, in AutoContactTerminal::getNativeConstraintBox(),
when anchored on a RoutingPad, now take account the potential rotation
of the Path's transformation. Here again, for the chip's pads.
* New: In Kite, support for reduced AutoSegment. TrackSegment associateds
to reduced AutoSegment are *not* inserted into track to become
effectively invisibles. When a segment becomes reduced, a TrackEvent
is generated to remove it. Conversely when it is raised a RoutingEvent
is created/rescheduled to insert it. All this is mostly managed inside
the Session::revalidate() method.
* New: In Kite, in KiteEngine::createGlobalGraph(), in case of a chip,
mark all global routing vertexes (Knik) that are under a pad, as blockeds.
* Bug: In Cumulus, in PadsCorona.Side.getAxis(), inversion between X and
Y coordinate of the chip size. Did not show until a non-square chip
was routed (i.e. our MIPS R3000).
* Change: In Stratus1, in st_placement.py add the ClockBuffer class for
backward compatibility with the MIPS32 bench. Have to review this
functionnality coming from the deprecated placeAndroute.py.
In st_instance.py, no longer creates the Plug ring of a Net.
In my opinion it just clutter the display until the P&R is called.
Can re-enable later as an option (in Unicorn).
* Change: In Unicorn, in cgt.py, more reliable way of loading then running
user supplied scripts. Borrowed from alliance-checker-toolkit doChip.py .
* Change: In Hurricane, the NetRoutingProperty is moved into Hurricane
from Katabatic. Needed for Knik to be able to access thoses
informations.
* Change: In Hurricane, in RoutingPad::setOnBestComponent(), now in
case of identical area, select the component of lowest id.
This should not be needed if the component ordering was fully
deterministic as it should be (will investigate later).
This is to ensure that the choosen component is always the
same, especially between save/load of a global routing.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in AutoContactHTee::updateTopology(), invalidate
the segments only if the topology is valid (no NULL in the
cached segments).
* Bug: In Katabatic, in GCellTopology::construct(), throw an error
if the topology is bad instead of trying to continue (and core
dump later... ).
* Bug: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails, distinguish the name of the master
net in the pad (for vddi, vssi, vdde, vsse, ck, cki & cko) and the
name of the net in the *chip* netlist. Must use the later to make
comparison as they may differs.
* Change: In Knik, in save/load solution, exclude nets that are not
globally routed by Knik. That is which NetRoutingProperty is not
*Automatic*.
* Bug: In Cumulus, in chip.BlockPower take account of the layer
width extention to sligthy shrink the connector thus avoiding a
notch with standart cell in some cases.
* Change: In Cumulus, in chip.ClockTree disable the use of fixed Steiner
trees for the leaf clocks, as it seems overconstrained for the
router. First move was to lower them in M2/M3 (instead of M3/M4)
but that was not sufficent.
* New: In Cumulus, RSavePlugin for recursively saving a physical
hierarchy.
* New: In documentation, first embryo for RDS file. Should have been
in Alliance git, but I prefer to keep newest doc in Coriolis.
* New: In CRL Core, in helpers & alliance.conf, set and read a "PAD"
variable to define the pad model name extension ("px" for "sxlib
and "pxr" for vsxlib, this is provisional).
* New: In CRL Core, in plugin.conf, add parameters to define the name
of used for power & clock supply. We may remove the extention in
the future (to be more coherent with the previous modification).
* New: In Cumulus, in chip.Configuration.GaugeConf._rpAccess(), no
longer place the accessing contact *at the center* of the
RoutingPad. It works under sxlib because buffers & registers all
have same size terminals. But this is not true under vsxlib,
leading to misaligned contacts & wires. Now systematically place
on the slice midlle track (maybe with one pitch above or below).
This is still very weak as we do not check if the terminal
reach were the contact is being put. Has to be strenthened in
the future.
* New: In Cumulus, in chip.Configuration.ChipConf, read the new
clock & power pad parameters.
* Change: In Isobar (and all other Python wrappers), uses PyLong instead
of PyInt for DbU conversions. In PyHurricane argument converter,
automatically check for both PyLong and then PyInt.
* Change: In Cumulus, in chip.PadsCorona, more accurate error message
in case of discrepency in global net connections (i.e. no net
of the same name in instance model and instance model owner.
* Change: In Kite, in BuildPowerRails, when looking up at the pads
model name to find "pck_" or "pvddeck_", do not compare the
extension part. But we still use hard-coded stem pad names,
maybe we shouldn't.
* Bug: In Katabatic, in GCellConfiguration::_do_xG_xM1_xM3(), there
was a loop in the search of the best N/E initial RoutingPad.
* Bug: In Kite, in KiteEngine::protectRoutingPads(), *do not* protect
RoutingPads of fixed nets, they are already through the
BuildPowerRails stage (and it's causing scary overlap warning
messages).
* Bug: In Cumulus, in ClockTree.HTreeNode.addLeaf(), do not create
deep-plug when the core is flat (not sub-modules). All the new
nets are at core level.
* Bug: In Cumulus, in ChipPlugin.PlaceCore.doFloorplan(), ensure
that the core is aligned on the GCell grid (i.e. the slice
grid of the overall chip).
* Bug: In Kite, in GCellTopology::_do_xG_xM1_xM3(), infinite loop
while looking for the bigger N-E RoutingPad. Forgot to decrement
the index...
* New: In Katabatic, add the ability to decorate some (i.e. few) nets
with a state that indicate to Katabatic & Kite what to do with it.
The possible states are:
1. Fixed : all the wire are in fixed positions. The router cannot
move them and account them as obstacles.
2. ManualGlobalRoute : a user-defined topology is supplied. The
wires still have to be detailed route in "Detailed Pre-Route"
but will be skipped for the global routing and fixed for the
general Detailed route.
3. AutomaticGlobalRoute : ordinary nets, to be global routed then
detail routed.
4. Excluded : do not try to global or detail route thoses nets.
5. MixedPreRoute : mask combining Fixed and ManualGlobalRoute.
Not all nets have this property, only those that needs a special
processing.
To ease the access to the state, it is nested inside a
PrivateProperty in the net (NetRoutingProperty), with an extension
access class (NetRoutingExtension).
* New: In Kite, take account of NetRoutingState. Pointers to the
net's states are strored inside an internal map for faster access.
The property is *not* deleted when Kite is destroyed. The property
will remains until the Net itself is destroyed.
As a consequence, the lists that where passed to high level
function are removed as the information can now be accessed directly
through the net NetRoutingProperty.
* New: In Unicorn, in CgtMain, comply with the update interface.
* New: In documentation, update the User's Guide to explain the Pre-routed
step of Kite.
Placement management:
* Change: In <metis>, always disable the hMetis support regardless of
it being detected or not as the placer is still unable manage the
final bin contents.
Routing gauge management:
* Bug: In CRL Core, <vsclib/alliance.conf>, set the correct pitches and
size for the routing layers and the cell gauge.
* Change: In Katabatic & Kite, extract the correct extension cap for each
routing layer from the layers characteristics (cache then in
Katabatic::Configuration).
* Change: In Katabatic, <AutoSegment>, create segment with the wire width
defined in the gauge. For AutoSegment created on already existing
Segment from the global routing, adjust the width.
* Change: In Katabatic, <AutoSegment>, more accurate information about how
a segment is connected to terminal via source and/or target.
The flag SegStrongTerminal is splitted into SegSourceTerminal and
SegSourceTarget (but still used as a mask). So now we can know by
which end an AutoSegment is connected to a terminal.
* Change: In Katabatic, ::doRp_Access(), create constraint freeing segments
not only when HSmall but also when VSmall (more critical for <vsclib>).
Otherwise we may see AutoSegments with incompatible source/target
constraints.
* Change: In Kite, BuildPowerRails, do not create blockage on PinOnly
layers *but* still create power rails planes. This is a temporary
workaround for <vsclib> where the METAL1 blockages overlaps the
terminals (it was fine for Nero, but they shouldn't for Kite).
* Change: In Kite, <RoutingEvent>, if a TrackSegment is overconstrained,
directly bybass it's slackening state to DataNegociate::Slacken.
Also rename the flag "_canHandleConstraints" to "_overConstrained",
seems clearer to me.
Miscellaneous:
* Change: In CRL Core, <Utilities>, add a "pass-though" capability on the
mstream to temporarily make them print everything.
In Katabatic & Kite, remove all hard-coded values related to track pitches.
* New: In <Session>, add more convenience function to access RoutingGauge
characteristics.
* New: In <AutoSegment>, <AutoContact>, add support for the "depth spin",
that is, if the source/target contacts are going "top" or "down".
Used to compute the perpandicular pitch. Need a small modification
of the revalidation mechanism. The observers of <AutoSegment> are
notified when the spin changes.
* New: In <AutoSegment>, the getPPitch() method allow to compute the
"perpandicular pitch". For now it is simply the greatest from the
source perpandicular pitch and the target perpandicular pitch.
Make uses of the "depth spin".
* New: In <TrackElement>, <TrackSegment>, cache the perpandicular pitch.
Updated through the notification from the observable.
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.
Miscellaneous:
* Change: In <crlcore>, in display.conf use the same display threshold
for both METAL2 & METAL3.
In alliance.conf, the side of VIAs in the gauge is 2l (not 3l).
In kite.conf, separate edge densities for H/V.
* Change: In <Cell>, in flattenNets() use flag as argument, not a
boolean. Do not create rings for clock or supply nets.
* Change: In <DeepNet>, in _createRoutingPads() do not create rings
for clock or supply net (duplicated policy as in Cell::flattenNets()).
* Bug: In <ControllerWidget>, at last find the bad signal disconnect
that was causing ungraceful messages.
* Change: In <knik>, in Edge display occupancy/capacity in the string
name. Improved display progress and debugging capabilities.
Improved exception catch & breakpoint managment:
* Bug: In <PaletteWidget>, in updateExtensions() replace the calls to
deleteLayer() by delete. This cause the widget to be immediatly
erased instead of waiting for the event queue to be completly
processed. This was causing the widget to be left in a incoherent
state when stoping at a breakpoint.
* Bug: In <BreakpointWidget>, in execNoModal(), flush the main event
loop (QApplication::flush()) *before* lauching the *local* event
loop. This is to ensure all widgets are in their final state when
waiting (especially <PaletteWidget>).
* Change: In <ExceptionWidget>, new method catchAllWrapper() to
execute any std::function< void() > function/method with a "try"/
"catch" wraparound and lauch the widget in case something is catch.
* New: In <hurricane>, support for a oberver pattern, backported from
<katabatic> with an Obervable capable of being linked to any
number of Obervers.
* New: In <Cell>, made it observable to detect Cell change, currently
emit two kind of signals:
- Cell::CellAboutToChange : *before* any change.
- Cell::CellChanged : *after* the change has been completed.
* New: In <UpdateSession>, in Go::invalidate() add the Cell owning the
Go to the UPDATOR_STACK (of course the cell is added only once).
In addition, when the Cell is added, send a notification of
Cell::CellAboutToChange to all it's observers. The slave instances
are also invalidated.
Conversely in UpdateSession::_preDestroy() for each invalidated
Cell send a Cell::CellChanged notification to all observer.
The UPDATOR_STACK has been slightly amended to accept Cell which
are not Gos. Prior to this, the Cell where completly excluded from
the UpdateSession mechanism, so it's instances where never actualised
of anything referring to the Cell for that matter.
Note: we use two different mechanisms to transmit a Cell change,
observers and the slave instance map. I think at some point it
should be unificated.
* Change: In <CellViewer>, make it a Cell observer to redraw when the
cell is modificated (also update the palette).
Uses the catchAllWrapper() to protect all critical actions.
* Change: In <GraphicTool>, no longer need of cellPreModificated and
cellPostModificated signals. Now done through the Cell obersvers.
* Change: In <mauka>, <etesian> & <kite> now uses the catchAllWrapper
method for protection (need to split methods in two, to be able
to pass it as argument). No longer emit cellPreModificated and
cellPostModificated.
Support for RoutingGauge in P&R:
* Bug: In <placeandroute.py>, the connection from the internal power
ring to the connectors was not done correctly. Wrong contact layers
leading to a gap.
* Change: In <BuildPowerRails>, detection of the corona signals based
on how the "pck_px" pad is connected. No longer based on name
matching.
* Change: In <placeandroute.py>, support for 2 routing metal only
(3 metal in the technology).
* Change: In <katabatic> & <kite> support for a "top layer" limitation
on the routing gauge, this allows to use only two routing metals
(METAL2 & METAL3). Work in progress.
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.
- New: Added FreeBSD/Ubuntu patches from Otacilio De Araujo
(<otaciliodearaujo@gmail.com>).
* ./katabatic:
- New: Makes use of cbug to display the (scary) debug messages.
- New: In LayerAssignement & GCell, perform layer assignment on whole net
trunk, instead on a segment by segment basis.
- New: In GCell, fragmentation analysis. When a layer change is requested,
it allows to check if the additionnal perpandiculars created to
maintain connexity will not over fragment the layer. This is particu-
larly critical for M3->M5 which create M4 in perpandiculars, and M4
may be subject to very dense configuration.
- New: In AutoSegment & LoadGrByNet, adds a flags telling if the net's
degree equal 2. Has not proven to be useful yet.
- New: In AutoSegment, adds a flag telling if the segment is the perpan-
dicular part of a dogleg. Has not proven useful yet.
- New: In AutoSegment, adds a "_parent" attribute to keep track of the fragmentation
processus. Currently used only for strap segments, points to the original
segment in the appropriate direction (before the split).
- New: In GCell & LayerAssign, new method of layer assignment. Move up
the whole net trunk if only one of it's segment is inside an over-saturated
GCell. AutoSegment are moved up only if there is at least 2 free tracks
remaining on the upper level.
- Change: In Session::_canonize(), uses the lowest segment Id as canonical.
More reliable than geometricals criterions in the end. Assuming that the
segments are being created in deterministic order, which *should* be the
case consediring the way we are walking through the global routing.
- Change: In AutoSegment, completly suppress the CompareCanonical(), replace
it by the much simpler CompareId().
- Change: In GCell::rpDesaturate(), stops desaturation when bottom density
is under 0.5, otherwise we are causing a severe imbalance in M2/M4
densities. All wires pushed up to M4...
- Change: In ChipTools, for the Pad's RoutingPad, reslect the best component
using the one in the lowest layer. To avoid problem when splitting
AutoContact as we expect the base Contact to be on the lower layer.
- Bug: In GCellConfiguration::_GCell_xG_xL1_xL3(), add H/V alignement constraints
in fork case. This allow NE/SW contact to be splitted correctly later.
- Bug: In AutoContact::split(), the connexity on the splitted contacts was
not correctly restored, leading to canonization and parentage looping
errors. This was concealed by the Kite Track::_check() bug (incomplete
individual TrackSegment checking).
- Change: In GCell & GCellGrid, unificated way of computing all the GCell's
densities.
- Change: In GCell::stepDesaturate(), uses shearUp() instead of moveUp().
- Change: In AutoSegment, new method ::shearUp() to avoid moveUp() saturating
GCells as side-effect.
- New: ChipTools, regroup all datas and utilities to manage a full-chip
design.
- Change: In LoadGrByNet/GCellConfiguration::_GCell_xG_1Pad(), uses straight
perpandicular wires on top & right pads. The GCells under those connectors
are fully saturated, wires must go out as straight as possible.
- Change: In AutoHorizontal/AutoVertical, update the "terminal" flag after
slackening. This is to avoid global that are no longer connected to
terminals behave as such.
- Change: In AutoSegment::canMoveUp() & canPivotUp(), prevent all local segments
to go up. This is to avoid cluttering upper levels with small segments.
- Change: In GCellConfiguration, for xG_xL3, detect straight vertical topologies
and for them to be fixed (new flag FIXED_GLOBAL set by the topological
builder instead of the constructor). This prevent the router to do
stupid things...
To sets the "Fixed" flag *after* the axis of global segments have been
positionned correctly adds a "_toFixGlobals" static table lookup.
- Change: In GCell::stepDesaturate(), if less than one free track remains in
the upper layer, do not move up the segment. This allows from a minimum
free room for expansion.
- Change: In GCell::_getString(), display indexes and layer names in various
saturation tables.
- Change: In AutoSegment, allow move up of local Segment. ::moveUp() and
::canMoveUp() arguments go from booleans to flags, which are more
explicits.
- Change: In loadGlobalRouting(), more exlicit message as to why a net is
filtered out the routing set (POWER, GROUND, CLOCK or BLOCKAGE).
- New: ChipTool, module with utilities specific to chip routing. Containing
a function to pre-break wires around a block.
- New: In loadGlobalRouting/GCellConfiguration, adds supports for RoutingPad
connected on chip's pad.
- New: In GCellGrid/GCell, can compute the density in three modes: average,
max of H/V and max of layer. Currently implemented in getMaxHVDensity(),
should be unificated with getDensity(). Used for display purposes.
- Bug: In AutoContact, when splitting a contact, add a specific check for
"one layer span".
- Bug: In AutoSegment::canMoveUp(), do not move up fixed segments.
- New: To pass the ibmXX, new parameter "katabatic.saturateRp" which allows
to sets the threshold above which a GCell has too much RoutingPads in
it and must be further desaturated. Must be 8 for FPGA, and 10 for ibm.
- Bug: In LoadGrByNet(), when looking for the starting GCell, the computation
of unconnecteds RoutingPads was incorrect, too great and letting the
router believe that the routage was incomplete.
- Change: In KatabaticEngine, the containers used to store the "nets to
route" is changed from a vector<> to a set<> sorted by the Nets names.
Uses more memory but allows much faster Net deletion.
- New: In _loadNetGlobalRouting(Net*), detect non-routed Nets. A Net is
considered as unrouted if it's 10 first RoutingPads have no slave
Segment. The Net is withdrawn from the set of Nets to route.
- Bug: In GCellConfiguration::_GCell_1G_1L1(), correctly compute the
access flag passed to _GCell_rp_Access().
- Change: In AutoContact::restrictConstraintBox() adds "warnOnError"
parameter to shut down warnings.
- New: KatabaticEngine::_computeNetConstraints() now also returns a set<>
of segments on which constraints are incompatibles. All the NetConstraints
related functions are modificateds accordingly.
- Change: In KatabaticEngine::_loadNetGlobalRouting(), create dogleg
on overconstrained Segments computed by a call to _computeNetConstraints().
Overconstraineds Segments can occurs when a global is directly
connecting two punctual RoutingPads (see "ieee_division").
As a side effect, and to avoid looping each Net is revalidated
*before* making any dogleg. So Nets are revalidated one by one instead
of alltogether.
- Change: In AutoSegment::_toConstraintAxis(), do nothing if constraint
interval is empty.
- Bug: In KatabaticEnginge::_desaturate() (part of LayerAssign), reset
the moved up Segment pointer between iterations. Suppress the warning
about the GCell's DyKeyQueue beeing not revalidated on deletion.
- Change: In LoadGrByNet, manage the 4G+3L1 configuration with the generic
_GCell_xG_xL1_xL3(). Needed for "dct_lvl2".
- Change: In Grid/BaseGrid, add an Abutment Box attribute (to facilitate
segment truncation in Kite::TrackFixedSegment.
- Change: In Grid/BaseGrid::Axis, when computing a row/column index using
the graduation table, if the coordinate is exactly on the last
graduation, return the last GCell instead of "out of bound".
- Change: In GCell::hasFreeTrack(), AutoSegment::canMoveUp() &
AutoSegment::canPivotUp() adds a "reserve" parameter to modify the
amount of wirelength to remains free after the insertion.
- Bug: In GCell, bad cast between <size_t> and <unsigned int>, showed only
under 64 bits.
- New: In KatabaticEngine::printMeasures(), adds a support for measurments,
both time and memory size in Mb are stored for each tag.
- New: Adds measurements "Gates", "GCells", "load" & "assign".
- New: In GCell & LayerAssign, adds a supplemental desaturation steps when
a GCell containts too many (more than 7) RoutingPads in M1. This is
especially useful for the eFPGA matrix with it's custom made cells.
