Problem was caching which did not take into account the array nature
of instances.
This fix also moves the cache one level below so it is effective also
when instance tree traversal happens. This might speed up things too.
Needs testing.
- OASIS layers are turned into pure layer name (not lxdy_name) for
MAG output
- Boxes of instances had been incorrect
- consistent naming of cell files in presence of special chars
- force lower-case layer names to allow CIF/MAG loop (CIF needs
upper-case layer names, MAG doesn't)
- reverted CIF reader to standard
- new options for writer: tech, "zero timestamp".
- file name MUST be consistent with one cell name.
Reason: it's not possible to derive the initial
cell from the given options, so without the file name
being consistent, we can't know what to write there.
Basically the file name rather supplies the path.
One unit test was failing because the netlist compare did not
properly consider dropped pins:
* A severe bug ("g1" should be "g2")
* Incomplete detection of dropped pins upwards in the hierarchy
The general pin and net mapping scheme has been enhanced so that
net mapping to "0" is valid (this will happen in case of dropped
pins) and this condition is used to detect pins without match
requirement.
The tech group is a new XML tag "<group>...</group>".
This tag is editable in the tech "general" page as "Group".
If non-empty, a submenu will be created in the tech selector
menu for all techs with the same group.
The implementation uses extrapolation of strings in the
"Expressions" framework.
There is how:
* $(tech_name) -> substituted by the technology name
* $(tech_dir) -> substituted by the directory the technology file is stored in
* $(tech_file) -> substituted by the absolute path to the tech file
* $(appdata_path) -> substituted by KLayout's home directory (e.g. ~/.klayout)
* $(env('X')) -> substituted by the environment variable $X
The problem is solved by always producing subcircuits for cell
instances, even if there are no connections.
The netlist comparer had to be adjusted too because subcircuits
without pins were used for representing "unknown" subcircuit pairing.
In addition, this patch should lead to a better matching of
parallel subcircuit configurations where two different subcircuits
are entirely parallel.
New binding: Edge#d (distance vector), Edge#clipped and Edge#clipped_line.
"intersection_point" returns nil in case of no intersection.
Documentation error fixed (Edge#distance).
