Remove limited use HAVE_ZLIB wrapper API into separate header as
utils.h is used in many places and most source files don't need

When global <sys/mman.h> was removed from tile.h it also removed
<unistd.h> nearby. This exposes the lack of <unistd.h> being
included where needed using APIs like close()/read()/unlink()/isatty()
the WASM build seems to show this as the header file set is structured
differently.

The trick with "if(fp != stdout)" is problematic (to analyser) as
technically 'stdout' can be a global pointer that COULD be modified any
time, so it might have changed between the fopen() and fclose() calls so
the close MAY NEVER occurs (which is problem the analyzer can see).
So local state is maintained as a bool which will also clarify to the
compiler see the intention without concern for external stdout
modification.
Some items appear to be out and out leaks when certain commands are use.
Argument order and type declaration mismatches:
Label *
portFindLabel(editDef, port, unique, nonEdit)
CellDef *editDef;
bool unique;
bool port; // If TRUE, only look for labels that are ports
bool *nonEdit; // TRUE if label is not in the edit cell
This warrants inspection at call site CmdLQ.c:1712 as both types are bool
is it not so straightforward to check.
It looks like when PORT_MAKE is the option 'port make [index] [dir...]'
port=FALSE is this the correct intention ? This looks ok in that
we're searching for labels to make (upgrade) into ports.
Where as all other 'port ....' commands are operating on items that are
already ports, and ignoring labels.
So the K&R argument name order is also how the call-sites are using it.
void
cmdStatsHier(parent, nuses, child)
CellDef *parent, *child;
int nuses;
This was checked and found ok as callback to ../database/DBcount.c

Due to this not-obvious K&R style also being used in the documentation
this was changed as well (in another commit0.

the underlying error is that the original error in the "property"
command was a disagreement about where "argstart" is placed. The
command was fixed to make the "property" command work correctly.
However, the solution made "argstart" wrong when using the command
"cellname property". Now both uses are handled correctly.
behavior when a child coordinate is not specified; otherwise,
the original code's setting of the child reference point to the
bounding box lower left causes the lower left point to be
used always, which is not how the getcell command is supposed to
function.
to place a cell in a meaningless position for any rotation and flip
combination other than zero. The issue was that the reference point
was not rotated along with the cell.
so that it does not fail if an edit cell is not loaded, but
simply loads the default unnamed edit cell. This is somewhat bad
behavior in the case of reading GDS, since if the GDS is a library
and does not have a top level cell that matches the name of the
GDS library, then the edit cell that is loaded when the "gds read"
command is issued remains unchanged, so it didn't need to be there
in the first place. Fixing this to behave better would require a
bit of additional work.
meaning of the MAG record in GDS files. Most available GDS
documentation is decidedly vague about what MAG means. Most
layout tools seem to interpret a MAG of 1 as corresponding to a
text height of 1um. However, there are a few tools that
interpret it as 1 centimicron, and there's no reason to assume
that any given interpretation is correct. "gds magscale" allows
the scale to be redefined.
"pick x y" which acts like "cursor", but operates on a database
coordinate instead of a pointer coordinate. Made a few other
corrections to the command logging code so that it produces
valid output when the log file is sourced.
commands that make use of the pointer position have an equivalent
command that operates solely on layout coordinates, or otherwise
avoids needing a pointer position. Added the command option
"down <instance>" to avoid using the pointer to disambiguate
selections. Added the command option "select ... at x y" to
do paint or cell selections at a specific coordinate instead of
the pointer position.
"drc printrules". Implemented a new "drc" command option called
"drc ignore", which can be used to suppress reporting of specific
rules, for both "drc why" and "drc find". This can help with
finding an error buried among a large number of other errors.
previous behavior that had inadvertently been changed. In recent
versions, "load <absolute_path> -dereference" would incorrectly
apply the dereferencing to <absolute_path> rather than just its
subcells. Cleaned up the code around DBCellRead() in the process,
so everything is more straightforward (although probably more
could be done in that regard).
dereferencing, and making the behavior of "load" on the command
line (i.e., loading a cell from a file) the same as the
behavior of loading a cell as a result of expanding an unloaded
instance. In both cases, if "load -dereference" is used, and
a cell does not exist in any search path but does exist in the
original location, without dereferencing, then the cell will be
loaded from the original location. Also: Corrected an error
that has existed since adding the capability to read compressed
files, which causes magic to crash when attempting to run the
"crash recover" command (because that routine was mixing
compressed and regular file stream calls).
This is diagnostic only and does not change the read-in
behavior.
(2) ext2spice: Corrected an error that had been introduced
into version 8.3.171 that accidentally marks all devices
as visited which causes all source/drain areas and
perimeters to be output as zero.
(3) extract: Sweeping changes to handling of fringe
capacitance. Removed the (recently added) "fringeshieldhalo"
parameter from the tech file. Reworked the fringe
capacitance models based on results from the "capiche"
project (github/RTimothyEdwards/capiche). Fringe shielding
is now done by clipping fringe at the boundary of a
shielding shape, rather than trying to calculate the
amount of shielding (as the "capiche" project proved this
to be equivalent). Values for partial fringing are modeled
by atan(x), which like the sidewall (1/x) curve, extends to
infinity and values are limited by the halo but do not
otherwise depend on the halo. Because of this, the halo can
be made variable and controlled by the user for deciding on
the tradeoff between accuracy and run time. A new command
option "extract halo" was added to allow this control over
the halo distance.
"gds polygon subcells true" the same as "gds polygon subcells
temporary" instead of "gds polygon subcells keep". This works
well for gf180mcu in open_pdks to keep the existing behavior
but won't break the GDS input on an older version of magic.
three types: "none", "temporary", and "keep" (instead of "true"
or "false"). "none" now reverts back to the original behavior,
because it was found that saving polygons in subcells prevents
them from participating in boolean operations. The "keep"
option is the original option (polygons kept in subcells), and
"temporary" is the one recently introduced (which puts polygons
in subcells and then flattens them). This restores the original
method while retaining the recently implemented method. However,
a proper solution needs to be found that deals with the problem
of boolean operators.
that the feature for implementing callbacks on a selection list
was already implemented via the add_dependency procedure.
Modified the GDS read to remove cell instances that are placed
directly on top of one another in the same cell. Modified the
GDS read to make a better selection of a default font size for
text that specifies a font but not a size, using the minimum
width for the layer the text is placed on. Modified the GDS
read to remove text with empty-string placeholders (created when
a pin layer is read but no text exists to go along with it, due
to GDS not having a specific way to make pins, such that pins
have to be split between one record for geometry and another
for text).
supported). Fixed the long-standing issue in which DRC does not
get stopped by the "drc off" command (the behavior for interrupting
the DRC was dependent on the DRC being turned on, and the "drc off"
command was turning it off before breaking, causing the interrupt
to be ignored).
attempt is made to write an abstract view to GDS. This behavior can
be overridded with the new command option "gds abstract [enable|disable]".
Also: Corrected extraction to allow split tiles to be set as the
reference tile for a node. Previously this was allowed only if the
tile was the first to be searched, but that can cause different tiles to
be marked as the reference depending on where the search starts,
resulting in different names for the same node in .ext files, which is
bad. Also: Modified the LEF annotation to avoid bad entries in the LEF
that would create layers in the layout where none exist.
Alessandro De Laurenzis. That pull request cleaned up the vast
majority of compiler warnings. However, that cleanup exposed a
few additional warnings pointing to errors in the code that needed
fixing. The code now compiles cleanly except for one warning
about redefined CAD_DIR that I have not looked into.
This commit makes the code (mostly) C99-compatible, enabling to compile
it without the -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration flag. This
way, Magic becomes usable on arm64 architectures, specifically on Apple
computers with M1/M2 SoC.
reading GDS files, caused by an unneeded change to pass both
the "original" filename and the actual filename when handling
compressed files---The original filename is unneeded.
(2) Implemented several new methods for parasitic extraction. The
first is an option offset value to apply to sidewall calculations.
This handles issues where actual wire separation is different
from drawn wire separation, which can be significant for the
1/d calculation of sidewall coupling. The second method is to
use the recently-added fringe halo to compute the coupling of the
fringe capacitance to nearby wires. Prior to this change, all
fringe capacitance was applied to surfaces directly under a wire
edge as if the fringe capacitance did not extend outward from the
edge. Now the capacitance is properly pro-rated for the position
of any overlapped shape inside the fringing field. Finally, the
third method added is a new search algorithm for finding the
nearest shapes along the length of a boundary. This is used for
sidewall coupling and fringe shielding, where the nearest shape
dominates the coupling, and any shapes behind are shielded and
may (to first order) be ignored. Previously, the entire halo
was searched without regard to shapes shielding other shapes
behind, and a recent correction added an ad-hoc search for
blocking shapes that was inefficient and not always correct.
The new method is both efficient and accurate.
Compression levels of the output can be controlled with the "gds
compress [<value>]" command, where <value> 0 (default) is uncompressed
output, 6 is "normal" gzip compression, and 9 is maximum compression.
pointing GDS_FILE to a compressed filename when using "gds readonly

to data bounds in the uncompressed file.
of systems calls to "gzip" and "gunzip". A compressed GDS file can
be made simply by doing "gds write <name>.gds.gz", and can be read
simply by doing "gds read <name>.gds.gz". Names of compressed files
can be put in the GDS_FILE property of a cell.
The extSubtree() routine cuts a layout into squares and extracts
each separately, checking for subcell interactions. In each
square it parses all labels looking for unconnected ones. This
section of code not only parses all labels M x N times, but it
then marks interaction areas where there may be none, forcing
additional unnecessary processing. This commit makes the first
quick optimization, which is to change the return value of
DRCFindInteractions() from boolean to integer, allowing it to
return a value indicating that there are no subcells in the
area. This prevents the loop through labels from happening in
cases where there can never be interactions. More to come.
timestamps that are fixed, since the timestamp update routine is
called from too many places, too many times. Instead created a
new cell definition flag indicating a fixed timestamp, which can
be set by "cellname timestamp" for an individual cell, or with
"gds datestamp" for cells read from a GDS file.
yesterday's commit to allow the syntax "gds maskhints <types>", in
which mask hints can be restricted to a specific list of layers
rather than all layers which define mask hints in the cifoutput
rule.
"gds datestamp <value>" as an option to force a specific datestamp
on the GDS output. This is a third option beyond the previous two
which were either to use the current time or to write zero. The
new option allows an entire library to get a common timestamp, for
example, related to a PDK version number. The "gds nodatestamp"
option has been retained for backwards compatibility.
in a cell to account for the difference between what's in an input
GDS file and what magic would write out itself from the processed
data. This potentially allows library cells to be read in that
will generate the equivalent mask data as output without resorting
to using GDS file references as properties. The method is activated
with the new command option "gds maskhints on" and the default is
off.
If cells are instanced before being defined, causing the GDS parser
to rewind the cell from the top, then the "already defined" error
messages will be suppressed, since it is to be expected that cells
will be seen twice (and ignored the 2nd time). When rewinding, an
output message is issued so that it is clear that the file contains
instances that are used before they are defined, and recommends the
"gds ordering on" setting. Also: Fixed the "gds ordering" command
code so that the command with no third argument returns the state
of the "gds ordering" setting instead of generating a parser error.
there was no distinction between a locked file and a new cell
(initial state) before writing to disk. This prevents any new cell
from being saved! Also: Revised the behavior of the "select short"
search, but this still has issues with long run-times on complex
layouts, so this is an ongoing effort.
whenever a process writes a cell to disk, it immediately releases the
file lock it had on that cell, which is clearly not the intent of file
locking. Fixed this issue. On a related topic, revised the "cellname
writeable" command so that it can make a cell editable even if the cell
has an advisory lock and cannot be made writeable. Perhaps there should
be a clearer distinction here between "writeable" and "editable". Also:
Reconsidered the previous commit, which removed the "--disable-locking"
from the configuration options. Because some operating systems may not
implement fnctl()-based file locking (Cygwin, for one, apparently doesn't),
it is still useful to be able to completely remove the function, in case
the operating system will fail to recognize the fnctl() values in the
code. Now, file locking behavior can be permanently removed through the
configuration option, or temporarily disabled from the command line.
