* Bug: In Kite::NegociateWidow and Katana::NegociateWindow, when creating
the TrackSegment from the AutoSegment, we put it on the nearest track
from its current position. But it may happens that the nearest track
is outside the terminal constraint interval (in the case of "nsxlib").
Add the terminal constraint interval check.
This was not affecting the routing result because the segment was
put inside the right interval afterwards. It was only generating
disgraceful transient error messages...
* New: In AnabaticEngine::invalidateRoutingPads() this method is a temporary
workaround for a Hurricane problems. When an instance is moved, the
RoutingPads that use it must be moved accordingly, but they are not
invalidated so they stay in the wrong QuadTree.
New method ::_resizeMatrix() to be called when the associated Cell
is resized.
* Bug: In AutoHorizontal::getConstraints() and AutoVertical::getConstraints(),
the *target* constraints where never merged.
* Change: In AutoHorizontal::getCells() and AutoVertical::getGCells(),
now return a boolean to tell if it was ok (must not encounter a NULL
GCell while progessing from source to target).
* New: In Anabatic::Configuration and Anabatic:Session, create new methods:
- getDHorizontalLayer()
- getDhorizontalDepth()
- getDHorizontalWidth()
- getDHorizontalPitch()
And so on for Vertical and Contact.
They supply depth-independant informations about the H/V layers to
build the initial detailed routing.
The AutoSegment::create() methods have been modificated accordingly.
* New: In Anabatic::GCell, add two new types "StdCellRow" and "ChannelRow"
for implementing 2-Metal blocks.
Rename the GCell::setXY() method in GCell::setSouthWestCorner(),
move the contents of GCell::updateContactsPosition() into it and
suppress it.
WARNING: In case of a GCell shrink this may cause problems. But for
now we only expand...
New method GCell::getNetCount() to count the number of Net going
though the GCell.
* Change: In Anabatic::Edge, add specific support for capacity of 2-Metal
routing channels.
* Change: In Anabatic::Dijsktra various methods, replace the "gcell->isMatrix()"
calls by "not gcell->isAnalog()". Add more check so that the methods
pertaining to the analog routing (GRData) are not called in digital
mode.
* New: In Anabatic::Dijkstra::materialize(), add support for 2-Metal specific
cases. That is, always break in case of vertical pass-through or
U-turn. The global routing must always be broken in H-Channel.
* New: In Anabatic::GCell & Anabatic::Edge, make use of the Session mechanism
to ensure the revalidation. The "::revalidate()" method is then moved
as "::materialize()" (overload of Go) and "::_invalidate()" becomes
"::invalidate()"
* Change: In LoadGlobalRouting, cosmetic rename of SortHkByX in SortHookByX.
* New: In GCellTopology, added support for building 2-Metal topologies.
* ForkStack is now an object attribute as many methods do need it.
* To push segments/hook on the stack, a new method "push()" is
available. Perform NULL and fromHook checking. Can also setup
_southWestContact or _northEastContact if it is the "from" edge.
* N/S/E/W edges are now vector as in digital channel mode there
can be more than one.
* Added build topological build methods:
- doRp_2m_Access() RoutingPad stem access.
- _do_2m_1G_1M1() North or south access.
- _do_2m_2G_1M1() North AND south access.
- _do_2m_xG() H-Channel routing.
* New: In Anabatic::Matrix, new ::resize() function, as Cell can be resizeds.
* New: In Anabatic::Vertex, new static method ::getValueString() for a
friendly text rendering.
* New: In Katana::DigitalDistance, support for channel routing.
* Change: In KatanaEngine::digitalSetup() and KatanaEngine::runGlobalrouter(),
for channel routing, calls to setupPowerRails() and
protectRoutingPads() must be called after the core block has
been fully dimensionned.
::runGlobalrouter() contains the code tasked with the grid creation
and channel sizing.
* New: In KatanaEngine: Added support for core block, for 2-Metal routing.
May be expanded for over-the-cell routing in the future.
Added methods :
- isDigitalMode()
- isAnalogMode()
- isMixedMode()
- isChannelMode()
- getBlock() / addBlock()
- setupChannelMode()
- createChannel()
* New: In Katana, new class Block to manage core blocks and perform
channel routing.
* New: In Katana::Session, new convenience method "isOpen()".
* New: In Anabatic::AutoContact and the derived classes, manages wide
wires. The contact self dimension itself according to the segments
it is connected to. Special case for the AutoContactTerminal which
also read the size of the component it is anchored upon.
New refresh method "updateSize()" and flag CntInvalidatedWidth.
to compute the size.
In AutoContactTerminal, compute the constraint box according to
the width of the segment.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, flags are now implemented as "static const"
attributes of the class. The flags are stored into a uint64_t as
they are more than 32.
Added new flag "SegWide" and associated predicates.
* Change: In GCellTopology::_doHChannel() and GCellTopology::_doVChannel(),
uses the simpler overload of AutoSegment::create() in order to detect
the wire width automatically.
* New: In Katana::Manipulator, split insertToTrack() and forceToTrack()
into a one-track method and a segment level method that iterate over
the track span of the segment.
* New: In Katana::SegmentFsm, for each cost in the table, now allow access
to a specific track. So the base functions have now two parameters:
"icost" and "itrack" (has a cost can have multiple tracks in the case
of wide segments).
* Change: In Katana::TrackElement, remove the index of the element inside
it's track, as for a wide segment it will not be meaningful for the
non-base track. This means that we have to use the Track::find()
method each time instead.
Remove the wide flag, as it is a duplicate of the one in AutoSegment.
Added a getTrackCount() method to tell the number of track the
segment is inserted into. Needed in the Track destroy step to delete
a segment only when the last track that refers it is destroyed.
Added getSymmetricAxis() to correct the computation of the symmetric
base track in case of wide segment as the base track is not centered
but the the leftmost one.
* Change: In Track::insert() insert wide segments in their whole track span.
* Change: In TrackCost, create an array of costs according to the segment
track span.
* Change: In TrackSegment::create(), now activate the factory and create
wide segments.
* Bug: In Katana::AutoSegments_Perpandicular, correct the debug indentation
problem (ever shifting to the right).
* New: In Katana::TrackCost, the TrackElement and it's optional
symmetric are now kept as attribute of a TrackCost. The cost
is completly computed inside the constructor.
TrackCost now support any mix of symmetric event and wide
segments.
The cost is now computed by adding directly to the current
one instead of creating secondaries that are merged afterwards.
As a consequence, remove all copy construction and merge
capabilities.
All the various methods used to compute the cost are renamed
"addOverlapcost()" in all the various related objects.
As a reminder, the overal cost method call is as follow:
1. TrackCost constructor on a TrackElement.
2. Call TrackElement::addOverlapcost()
3. For all Track under the TrackElement, call
Track::addOverlapCost()
4. For all other TrackElement intersecting with
the overlap interval call:
TrackElement::incOverlapCost()
5. The callback overlap function for segments
is called (defined in NegociateWidow).
Don't confuse:
- TrackElement::addOverlapCost(), which compute the cost of
inserting the segment inside a track (or a set of).
- TrackElement::incOverlapCost(), which compute the cost of
overlaping with this already inserted segment. It is the
other way around of the previous one.
* Change: In Katana::SegmentFsm, use a vector of pointer to TrackCost
instead of an object to avoid copy construction.
* Bug: In Anabatic::Dijsktra, correct the indentation in cdebug calls
(lots of them causing a big shift right).
* New: In Anabatic::TrackSegment, new helper structure SideStack to
manage a set of aligned GCells and their various sides sizes.
* Change: In Anabatic::TrackSegment::computeOptimal(), more accurate
computation of attractors from global segments and variable size
GCells using SideStack.
* Change: In Katana::DataSymmetric::checkPairing(), increase the tolerance
for misaligned symmetrics from 2 to 5 tracks (should be enough for our
narrow channel routing).
* New: In Katana::TrackSegment, add a first flag to enable locking of
priority. If it is set, calls to either "computePriority()" or
"forcePriority()" will have no effect. Added the uint32_t flags
paraphernalia.
* New: In ::computeNetPriority(), overall function to control the call
of TrackSegment::computeAlignedPriority(). The call is done from
NegociateWindow::run().
* New: Katana::TrackSegment::computeAlignedPriority(), order the
TrackSegments aligneds through doglegs to the one with the highest
priority is routed first and others progressively from him. Done by
forcing an ever decreasing priority on the aligneds ones.
The amount of decrease is small so the aligned segments got routed
(ordered) in close, if not contiguous, sequence. Priority is locked
for the order to remain.
* Bug: In Katana::TrackSegment::computePriority(), correct computation
of the priority when there is more than 10 free tracks
(a DbU::toLambda() call was missing, leading to very big priorities).
* Change: In katana::TrackCost CTOR, do not compute a distance to fixed
in the case of analog segments, this is backfiring.
Slight change of the compare function when delta differs. Seems
to improve a little.
* In Katana::AutoSegments_Aligneds, allow the the caller to select
if we are propagating through source or target only (or both).
Note that if no flag is given, it is assumed that we want to
propagate the old way on both source and target.
* In Katana::TrackElement, Katana::TrackSegment and Katana::RoutingEvent,
move the event priority from RoutingEvent to TrackSegment.
Add accessor and mutators associated in TrackElement (virtual
methods).
* Bug: In Hurricane::Interval, the ::getSize() method was returning a negative
length when the Interval was empty. Now return zero. This was causing
slight cost functions side effect when computing the overlap of a segment
with another one belonging to the same net (i.e. shareDelta)
* Bug: In Katana::AutoSegment::computeOptimal(), checks that the optimal
position for the axis is indeed inside the GCell interval.
* Bug: In Katana::DataSymmetric::getSymmetrical(Interval&), reverse the shrink
applied to GCells sides. Interval are of the type [min:max[ so after
symmetric transformation they become ]smax:smin]. Apply a correction so
that they are [smax:smin[ and could be merged with the paired interval
(the one without symmetry applied).
* Bug: In katana::TrackCost::consolidate(), the overlap (now) always positive,
and must be *substracted* to the "delta" (not *added*).
* Bug: In Katana::_computeNetOptimals(), now skip the already processeds
AutoSegments instead of re-processing them.
* New: In Katana::AutoSegment::computeOptimal(), improved computation of
the axis hint:
- For analog net, propagate through the simple doglegs to find
attractors.
- Restrict the allowed interval to the union of GCell sides and
segments constraints that are terminals.
- Consider a local as "long" if it's length exceed 20 the P-pitch.
(maybe make that a tool parameter).
* New: In Anabatic_AutoSegments collection, added a Flag to the constructors
to allow different behavior between digital and analog modes.
For "Aligneds" and "Perpandiculars" collections, now manage a new
Flag WithDoglegs to follow aligned globals through local doglegs
(for analog nets).
Adjust the log level of collections to 144 (formerly 145).
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment, new flag SegAnalog for segments that are
part of an analog net.
Note that with this flag, we reach the 32 bits limit...
* Change: In Anabatic::Constants, Flags are now declared as BaseFlags
objects and *not* uint64_t. This avoids overload resolution problems with
arithmetical overload of the operators.
The BaseFlags/Flags types are now completly "isolated" from the
uint64_t, it has the advantage of showing where unwanted previous implicit
conversions where occuring.
* Change: In Katana::Constants, Flags values are now of BaseFlags type instead
of uint64_t.
* Change: In Anabatic::Dijkstra, lots of log cleanup.
* Change: In Anabatic::GCell::getSide(), make the "shrink" parameter visible
to allow to substract the topmost and rightmost track for axis span
computation in AutoSegment::computeOptimal(). Used for analog mode.
* Change: In NetRoutingState, added a flag for analog mode. Use uint32_t
for the flags type.
* New: In Isobar, export the NetRoutingState and NetRoutingExtension objects.
* Change: In Anabatic::AutoSegments collections, change the type of all
the flags that where in "unsigned int" (32 bits) to Flags (uint64_t)
as there is now more than 32 flags for functions.
* New: In Ababatic::Constants, added new flag Flags::WithPerpands, which
makes the number of flags tip over 32 bits, thus making mandatory
to uses Flags and not unsigned int.
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegments_Perpandiculars, manage a new flag
Flags::WithDoglegs to allow to propagate through global segments that
are connecteds via doglegs on local segments. Meaning that there is
a good chance that they could be aligned.
Slighly change the way we propagate on aligned segments: no longer
check for VTee or HTee, but only for same direction and layer as
master.
* New: In Anabatic & Katana, replace all the "int", "long" and their
variants by the less implementation ambiguous "int32_t", "int64_t"
(and variant). This should help to better detect bit trucation in
flags.
Use the type to give a hint about the flags kind:
- Type "Flags", for flags shared among Anabatic & Katana
functions/methods (may also appear in some objects states).
- Type "uint32_t" for flags belonging to an object internal
state of from Hurricane functions flags (those should be
grouped in a Flag subclass in a perfect world).
* Change: In all top CMakeLists.txt, force the use of Python 2.7 as
we do not compile against 3.x flavors. Do not use the "EXACT"
flags as it will not recognize 2.7.x versions.
* Change: In Katana::RoutingEvent::Key::Compare(), preliminary
experiments shows that the best sorting order is:
- Lower layer first (i.e. M2 -> M3 -> M4 -> ... )
- Longer segments first.
The later seems to be counter-intuitive. Guess is that placing
the small ones first generate a more important fragmentation of
the big ones. They are placed too early and are difficult to move
afterwards.
Another feature to test is *not* inserting pushed left/right
segments if they are not *already* routed.
* Change: In PyKatanaEngine.runNegociate() now takes a flag argument,
provided through the new PyKatanaFlags exported object.
(doChip.py must be changed accordingly)
* New: In Katana::Configuration, added "katana.profileEventCosts" to
triggers the event's profiling.
* New: In Katana::NegociateWindow::_negociate(), save a profiling
trace of all the events and their priority, separated by metal,
for later analysis (see doChip.py in alliance-check-toolkit).
* New: In Katana::RoutingEvent::Key::Compare(), start implementing
new segment freedom degree functions.
* Change: In Hurricane::Net::_getString(), put a more complete
information about the Net instead of just only it's name.
* Bug: In Katana, reorder the various stages so that they are
executed in the exact same sequence as in "doChip.py" so now
routing in graphic mode and text mode gives exactly the same
results.
* Bug: In Katana::PyKatanaEngine, runGlobalRouter do not take any
argument.
* New: In Katana::SegmentFsm, the object is now able to handle two events
at the same time. The master and it's symmetric. When there is no
symmetric, the corresponing data is just left blank. This makes a
bigger object, but as there is only one when running, it is not an
issue.
Candidates tracks are now an vector of array<2> (pairs), the
TrackCost::Compare() functor has to be wrapped through CompareCostArray.
The compined TrackCost of the two tracks is accumulated into the first
element.
Everything related to events gets duplicated: _event is now _event1
and _event2, and so on.
As there can be now two Manipulator actions done with SegmentFsm,
this class now completly hide the Manipulator level from the
RoutingEvent processing.
New function ::bindToTrack() to perform the track insertion.
* New: In Katana::TrackCost, add a new ::merge() function.
* New: In Katana::TrackElement and Katana::TrackSegment, add symmetric
management. Allows to know if a TrackElement has a symmetric and to
access it.
* New: In Katana::DataSymmetric, add new overload for ::getSymmetrical()
to handle DbU::Unit and intervals.
* Change: In Katana::RoutingEvent, remove all direct uses of Manipulator
objects. Now any change to the event associated segment must go through
call to Segment Fsm.
* Change: In Katana, adjust the debug level so internal informations are
put below level 156.
* New: In Hurricane::DbU, in ::getValueString(), special display when the
value is Min or Max (more helpful than a gigantic number).
* 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 Anabatic::Dijkstra the _distanceCb attribute got copied
from the setDistance() argument. To be able to access the duplicated
distance (and therefore access/modify it) the function now return a
pointer to it. Done with the "target()" accessor of std::function<>.
* Change: In Katana::GlobalRouting::runGlobalRouter() use the new
Disjkstra::setDistance() to be able to call setNet() on the right
object.
* Bug: In Kite::RoutingEvent::_processNegociate(), on insertion in free
space of a reduced segment (less than one pitch) no insert event
was generated, but the axis was not set to the selected track, leaving
the segment at it's former place.
Now, generate an insert event, but in Kite::Session::_revalidate()
filter them so that reduced segments are not inserted in tracks but
only have their axis set.
Correction also applied on Katana.
* Bug: In Kite::wipeoutRouting(), the removal was incomplete. We need to
remove anchored Contacts, but in a second stage. This is a fragile
workaround as it require that there is only one level of anchoring.
* 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.
* Change: In Anabatic::Autocontact, replace getMinDepth() and
getMaxDepth() by getDepthSpan().
* New: In Anabatic::AutoSegment::canMoveUp(), add an optional check of
low up density (Flags::CheckLowUpDensity). Allows to move up a
segment if the up density is (very) low, and in this case it's more
efficient than breaking it to fit in the lower layer.
canMoveUp() is now able to perform the same work as canPivotUp()
if *not* supplied the flag Flags::IgnoreContacts.
* New: In Katana, in GlobalRouting::DigitalDistance() now take into
account the cost of a VIA (currently set to 2.5). Need to known the
Net currently routed in the DigitalDistance object itself.
* Change: In Katana::Track::Element::canPivotUp(), now also takes a flag
parameter.
* Change: In Katana::Manipulator, new flag IgnoreContacts to mirror the
one of Anabatic.
* Change: In Katana::SegmentFsm, allocate once a Manipulator object instead
of many times on the fly.
In SegmentFsm::_slackenGlobal(), in the slacken state, if the up
density is (very) low, bypass to move up instead of slackening.
This solve better the routing of the control part of the register file.
The register file having a pathological case of terminal placement:
many punctual terminals aligneds in METAL2 *and* a grid of METAL2 and
METAL3 blockages near below...
* Bug: In Katana::Session::_revalidate(), after removing the zero-length
segments, forgot to re-order the track, leading to many stranges effects
as the indexes where no longer coherent in the Track.
* Bug: In Cumulus & Stratus, now that creation of Hurricane objects must be
enclosed in UpdateSession, has to adds them into Python code.
* Bug: In Anabatic & Katana, in the global routing stage suspend the timed
bewteen ripup steps instead of resetting it.
* 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.
* Change: In Anabatic, remove GraphicAnabaticEngine, PyGraphicAnabaticEngine,
PyAnabaticEngine (but keep PyAnabatic for constants exportation)
and GlobalRoute (moved to Katana). Drawing methods for Edge & GCell
are moved into GraphicKatanaEngine.
* Bug: In Anabatic, in AutoHorizontal & AutoVertical, native constraints
must use GCell::getConstraintsUMax().
* Bug: In Anabatic::GCell, correct terribly bad implementation of
both getConstraintUmax().
In getSide(), use getConstraintUMax().
* Bug: In Anabatic::AutoContact, setCBUMax() must be set using the GCell
getContraintUMax().
* 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-).
