The option is called "--lefdef-joined-paths" for strm* buddy tools
and "joined_paths" for pya/RBA.
Wires with multiple segments are combined into long paths when
possible - this fails on anisotropic widths and 45 degree segments.
* Implementated patch as suggested by issue-1047
* Implementing blend-mode for LEF/DEF for a first solution for issue-1048
* Added testcase, fixed other tests
* Issue-1050 fixed - now REGION, BLOCKAGE and DIEAREA are relevant from mapping file, nothing else
* Bug fixes
* Experimental: DEF multipart paths
* Experimental: ignore LEF wire extension, ignore PATTERNNAME
* Implemented PATTERNNAME in DEF instead of LEF ..
* Implemented nondefaultrule vias
* LEF/DEF: non-defaultrule vias need a name suffix.
* Refined solution for NDR via names, updated test data
* Updated test data
* Multiple map files and 'REGIONS FENCE' + 'REGIONS GUIDE' layer mapping entries.
* Added test data, updated doc.
* Some enhancements and feedback
REGIONS in map files -> REGION
REGION NONE for map files (maps REGIONs which are neither GUIDE or FENCE)
Bugfix: VIA with ORIGIN
No via cell name prefix by default for buddy tools
* Simplified buddy tool options for LEF/DEF property names
Dropped --lefdef-dont-produce-instance-names,
--lefdef-dont-produce-pin-names and --lefdef-dont-produce-net-names
options. Instead, these options have to be enabled by giving
the respective property names.
Writing the property names takes some space and these
options are simply confusing and redundant.
* Issue a warning about missing cut geometry for a DEF via with PATTERNNAME (which is ignored)
* Fixed issue-1065
- warning if a layer is not mapped
- "," allowed as separator between files on buddy tools (in addition to '+')
- relative paths are resolved relative to . in buddy tools (more natural on Linux)
- Fixed tl::warn and tl::error so warnings/error messages can be continued with tl::noendl.
More consistently ignore the settings from the "Rule based layer mapping".
So if a map file is given, the map file statements shall not be overridden
by rules from the rule-based mapping tab.
* A map file can now be specified and should be read relative
to the technology
* Giving a map file will disable the pattern-based mapping
* UI enhanced accordingly
* Added UI option to configure macro resolution mode
* Bugfix: LEF files have not been read relative to the tech
* Bugfix: Some options where not persistent
Two new reader options:
1.) via cell name prefix (default is "VIA_"). This name is put in front of the via name to form the cell cell name
2.) group separation disabled by default. Groups are not put into individual parent cells by default.
