"csubcircuit" but swaps the first two pins (with the device
identifier layer becoming the 2nd pin and the other terminal the
first), which is needed for n-type diodes modeled as subcircuits
where the subcircuit pin order matches the order of pins for a
SPICE n-type diode component. Previously "msubcircuit" was used
for this purpose, but will calculate the wrong L and W. While
use of L and W for diodes is rare, this device type also works for
reversed capacitors (where the bottom or non-identifying layer
terminal is in the first pin position of the subcircuit).
for a resistor or capacitor is optional but is valid SPICE and not
just limited to CDL format, so it is now allowed to add "r=" at
the end of a resistor or capacitor component (not subcircuit) to
generate the optional component value.
as-is, without a parameter name and before any device model name or
substrate pin, according to CDL syntax, if the parameter has been
specified without a parameter name (e.g., "r=" instead of "r=r").
Corrected an error in the extract code which put the substrate node
name in front of parameters instead of after. This was previously
unexercised because only in CDL format does a resistor or capacitor
model have parameters listed by name.
specified without a list of substrate connection types, but
the "s=" parameter is used, resulting in an attempt to access a
substrate node that does not exist.
1) Corrected spurious error messages about cells already existing
in GDS when using "flatten" or "flatglob".
2) Fixed handling of resistance as a subcircuit parameter
3) Added area and perimeter resistance for a device; this is done
through the "devresist" statement in the tech file, which is an
extension of the original "fetresist" statement. Where "fetresist"
only supported type "linear", "devresist" supports types "area"
and "perimeter".
4) Support for CDL syntax, including generating subcircuit-like
parameters for components starting with SPICE-standard prefixes
like M, R, C, etc., adding "/" between pins and subcircuit name,
and saving the file as ".cdl" instead of ".spice".
5) Estimated L and W for devices whose geometry is complex and do not
reduce to a simple rectangle. L and W are estimated as the square
root of the area.
6) Changed the method of extracting L and W for diodes to use the same
method as capacitors. Note that diodes are not usually specified
by L and W, but if they are, this will produce the right result.
7) Corrected the reported filename and line number when printing error
messages related to errors inside a technology file, when the
technology file uses "include" to combine multiple files.
version 8.3.521 that, due to an argument size mismatch, causes
device parameters in netlist output to be printed as zero.
Also added a small extension to the list of extraction types
to include "device veriloga", which has the same syntax as
"device subcircuit" but generates a component type "N"
(Verilog-A component) in the netlist output.
Constification of APIs has shown up this bug.
spcdevOutNode() uses 'name' as a read-only string, used for
EFHNConcatLook() as 'errorStr' which is used to prefix error log
messages.
EFHNConcatLook() will already defer resolving hierName for the message.
So the only useful thing to indicate to the user is the procedure that
was trying to do the lookup.
Additionally the HierName's hierName1 and hierName2 arguments have been
made 'const' to help convey the receiver can not modify the referenced
data passed.

the former code attempted to determine the precision and generate
an output without unnecessary trailing zeros. Unfortunately there
were counterexamples that fail to be formatted correctly, as found
by Mark Martin, and which generate output that has roundoff error.
Reimplemented the method using code found on StackOverflow, which
appears to solve the problem more robustly.

Tcl_SetResult() uses cast to remove 'const' from type, the pointer
is only used to take a copy of the data, the lack of 'const' is due
to Tcl heritage when supporting C89 era compilers.
TCL9 appears to fix this, in that the macro used ends up at
Tcl_NewStringObj() which has 'const' here.
In order for pname to be assigned a value the loop must have performed
an interation. The order of assignment and use of 'pname' is not the
natural order you'd expect. It also looks like the TxPrint message
may display the incorrect port name from the previous loop iteration.
The code block looks like the resolution of 'pname' has no side-effects.
So should be done first so the correct port name is output in the log message.

different from the device (i.e., gate) width, for devices that do
not define a MOS-like gate spanning the width of the device. This
is restricted to the assumption that the terminal is rectangular
and therefore a simple width and length can be derived from the
area and perimeter. Also, length is defined as the smaller
dimension and width as the larger dimension. For additional
restrictions, see the updated documentation. This was added to
allow correct width and length extraction of a bipolar emitter
window, but may be more generally useful.
Due to use of strcasecmp() or similar C API.
Maybe HAVE_STRINGS_H is needed ? If so which platforms needs this ?
