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.
* [CONSIDER MERGING] Clarification and typo fixed in DRC doc.
* Implemented #1097 (discourage file compression, use CBLOCK)
* A warning is printed if file compression is enabled on OASIS
* A hint is present in the writer options
* CBLOCK is default (with fresh config) and for buddy tools
(use --cblock=false to disable it)
* Strict mode is default too.
* Updated tests
* 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.
The option is -m or --heal.
It is default off as in boundary cases (e.g. full layer vs. empty)
the healing adds a considerable memory and performance penalty.
Healing is only effective with tiling and affects output shapes
as well as shape counts.
