* Change: In Hurricane::BaseFlags, store flags in uint64_t instead of
unsigned int because we start to need more than 32 different flags
in some tools.
* New: In ::getString() & ::getRecord() templates, add support for
std::array<>.
* Change: In CRL::ToolEngine, add support for timer (time & memory
measurements) displaced from Katabatic. This way all ToolEngine
can use this feature. The _postCreate() method display the
memory just after ToolEngine allocation.
* Change: In Etesian::EtesianEngine, make use of the ToolEngine
builtin timer (remove the local one). Forgot to call the base
class _postCreate() and _preDestroy().
* Change: In Anabatic::AnabaticEngine, make use of the ToolEngine
builtin timer (remove the local one).
* New: In Anabatic, new AutoSegments_Connecteds() collection. This
Collection allows a deterministic walkthough *all* the AutoSegments
connected either to source or target of one AutoSegment.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoContactTerminal::isEndPoint() to check if an
AutoContactTerminal is the *only one* anchored on a RoutingPad,
thus being a true "end point" and not a kind of feed-through.
* New: In Katana::KatanaEngine, added support for symmetric nets.
Created new class DataSymmetric to store symmetric information
of a net (mainly the paired AutoSegments).
Added KatanaEngine::runSymmetricRouter(), for now only build
the DataSymmetric informations. More to come...
* Change: In Katana::GraphicKatanaEngine::_runTest(), now perform
symmetric information building the non-symmetric routing.
* Change: In Hurricane::Timer, measuring memory usage through the increase
of sbrk() gives erroneous results. Under Linux, now read the
/proc/[pid]/statm which gives the real size of the virtual memory
of the process. There is also code for reading /proc/[pid]/mmap
but it gives only the resident size of the process (i.e. swapped
pages are *not* accounteds).
* Change: In Katabatic, Anabatic, Kite & Katana now reports the total
memory size of the program.
* 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.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, introduce a the kind (associated to a
flag) "LongLocal". Analog GCells can be very wide, so at least some
carefuly choosen long local segments must be took into account as
attractors in the computation of the optimal axis.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::computeOptimal(), take LongLocal into
account as attractors.
* Change: In ::GCellTopology constructors compare the layers of the
RoutingPads using layer masks instead of Layer pointers. Allows to
find both "METALx" (symbolic) and "metalX" (real).
* Change: In ::GCellTopology::_doHChannel(), _doChannel(), _doStrut()
and _doDevice(), tag long locals as "LongLocal". This need to be
reviewed as it as bind done a bit too quickly.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, due too a much bigger span of the
analogic GCells the _optimalMin & _optimalMax bitfields must use
16 bits instead of 8 (they where overflowed).
* New: In Katana, reorganisation of the initialization procedure to fit
both digital and analogic cases. Create an analogInit() method.
* Change: In Katana::RoutingEvent, the _tracksNb and _tracksFree bitfields
where too short for the Analog GCell size, now uses 16 bits instead of
6.
* Bug: In Katana::GraphicKatanEngine::drawGCell(), skip drawing of a
GCell if *both* width and height are under 150 pixels.
* New: In Katana::Session, add a new isOpen() method.
* 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.
* New: In PyAnabatic, export the various Engine constants.
* Change: In Katana, in TrackElement and derived classes, add a getSegment()
method for easier access to the underlying Hurricane segment.
* New: In PyKatanaEngine, export the loadGlobalRouting method which was
missing (for use by Unicorn/cgt).
* 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-).
