Jean-Paul Chaput 2501688dd1 Add support for layers alias names. Bug in _addPhysicalrule(). 
* New: In Technology, in order to support symbolic technology on top
    of a real technology using non-generic layer names, it comes in
    handy to be able to define layer alias names. Generic *real*
    layer names could be defined as alias over the technology
    specific ones. Then, we can build the symbolic layers upon
    the generic names (so *that* part of the init code can be
    shared between techs).
       Adds Technology::addLayerAlias()
       The semantic of Technology::getLayer() changes a little, it
     return the techno layer associtated to the name *or* the
     aliased name.
* Bug: In Technology::_addPhysicalRule(), in case of a rule redefinition,
    we were using it's name *after* the deletion of the rule object.
    Nasty crash.
      Improve the error message by giving the name of the conflicting
    rule.
* In CRL/helpers.analogtechno, add an addDevice() function to load
    analogic devices descriptors (copied from the old init system).
* In CRL/ApParser, if an exception is catched, tells in which file and
    line it did occur.
* In Oroshi/dtr.Rules, add a translation step to get the rule names
    from the technology. From generic names to actual technology
    layer names.
       Add some documentation.
* In Oroshi/stack.Stack, get the layers names through dtr.Rules to get
    the layers names translated.

===============
Coriolis README
===============

Coriolis is a free database, placement tool and routing tool for VLSI design.


Purpose
=======

Coriolis provides several tools to perform the layout of VLSI circuits.  Its
main components are the Hurricane database, the Etesian placer and the Katana
router, but other tools can use the Hurricane database and the parsers
provided.

The user interface <cgt> is the prefered way to use Coriolis, but all
Coriolis tools are Python modules and thus scriptable.


Documentation
=============

The complete documentation is available here, both in pdf & html:

   ./documentation/output/html
   ./documentation/UsersGuide/UsersGuide.pdf

The documentation of the latest *stable* version is also
available online. It may be quite outdated from the *devel*
version.

    https://www-soc.lip6.fr/sesi-docs/coriolis2-docs/coriolis2/en/latex/users-guide/UsersGuide.pdf


Building Coriolis
=================

To build Coriolis, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

* Python 3.
* cmake.
* boost.
* bison & flex.
* Qt 4 or 5.
* libxml2.
* RapidJSON
* A C++11 compliant compiler.

The build system relies on a fixed directory tree from the root
of the user currently building it. Thus first step is to get a clone of
the repository in the right place. Proceed as follow: ::

   ego@home:~$ mkdir -p ~/coriolis-2.x/src/support
   ego@home:~$ cd ~/coriolis-2.x/src/support
   ego@home:~$ git clone http://github.com/miloyip/rapidjson
   ego@home:~$ git checkout ec322005072076ef53984462fb4a1075c27c7dfd
   ego@home:~$ cd ~/coriolis-2.x/src
   ego@home:src$ git clone https://gitlab.lip6.fr/vlsi-eda/coriolis.git
   ego@home:src$ cd coriolis

Then, build the tool: ::

    ego@home:coriolis$ make install

If you encounter issues, please consult SUPPORT.rst for tips.
Coriolis gets installed at the root of the following tree: ::

    ~/coriolis-2.x/<OS>.<DISTRIB>/Release.Shared/install/

Where ``<OS>`` is the name of your operating system and ``<DISTRIB>`` your
distribution.


Using Coriolis
==============

The Coriolis main interface can be launched with the command: ::

    ego@home:~: ~/coriolis-2.x/<OS>.<DISTRIB>/Release.Shared/install/bin/coriolis

The ``coriolis`` script detects its location and setups the UNIX
environment appropriately, then lauches ``cgt`` (or *any* command, with the
``--run=<COMMAND>`` option).

Conversely, you can setup the current shell environement for Coriolis by 
using the helper ``coriolisEnv.py``, then run any Coriolis tool: ::

    ego@home:~$ eval `~/coriolis-2.x/src/coriolis/bootstrap/coriolisEnv.py`
    ego@home:~$ cgt -V
