Matthias Koefferlein bdf5e3c124 WIP: fake pin debug issue with LVS
Fake pins: pins that happen because something connects to a cell at an
unexpected position. Such a pin is difficult to find. The solution is
to keep those nets and nur purge them so these nets can be identified
in the layout.

Here: is_floating? will be true only if there are no pins. Hence
nets with pins are not removed. is_passive is introduced for nets -
passive nets are such that don't have elements, but a pin.
Circuits are purged if they only have passive nets.

Matthias Koefferlein 506cfc1c6f WIP: attempt to retain nets which don't have active elements but pins. This is supposed to simplify debugging in case of fake pins. When removing those nets, the pin is very difficult to find. 2019-09-30 20:58:55 +02:00

Matthias Koefferlein b1acfe9587 Tried a better deal with floating pins
1.) is_floating is now only true if there is no device
    and no subcircuit on a net. This means we only purge
    nets if they are really floating. So far we purged
    nets without pins which lead to the mismatch:

    Before purge:
      Layout:            (net) <--> DEVICE.TERMINAL
      Schematic:           PIN <--> DEVICE.TERMINAL

    After purge:
      Layout:           (null) <--> DEVICE.TERMINAL
      Schematic:           PIN <--> DEVICE.TERMINAL

    (null does not match any net)

2.) circuit pin matching was a bit picky. Only when
    one circuit did not have pins, matching was sloppy.

    In real cases however, circuits may have unconnected
    pins:
    - top level pins without a counterpart (no label)
    - subcircuits pins which are not used

    We catch both cases by refining the match: if a pin
    is not used, it does not need to match against
    any other pin. It's reported as "matching against null"
    though.

Matthias Koefferlein cef96902ad Boundary for circuits, reverted automatic generation of global pins
- global pins have been generated for device cells too and lead
  to implicit pins which may not be desired. The original problem
  was how to make abstract circuits comparable. This has to be
  solved differently.
- Circuit boundaries are good for displaying the boxes for
  abstract circuits

Matthias Koefferlein 7f9da5e8de Introduced concept of device class templates
This concept allows to persist at least the standard
(built-in) device classes into L2N DB files. This way
device classes are persisted.

Matthias Koefferlein eabf558186 netlist exaction: selective net joining with labels
Now, a glob pattern can be used to identify the labels
which implicitly join nets. Also, net joining now
only happens on top level.
