original view position; this was due to not setting units to
internal before re-applying the previous view position. Also wrapped
most of the "popstack" routine into a suspendall...resumeall block so
that the view is refreshed only once; this is especially important
when popping back into a full chip view.
output when using the "port ... index" or "port ... name" to query
values from a specific port by name or index. The "readspice"
script has been modified to use this option to prevent unnecessary
error output from the script as it searches a layout for possible
name matches to a SPICE netlist subcircuit pin list.
However, this has not been implemented as it has been observed that
the use of itimer() has a restriction of one timer per process, which
interferes with the three or more uses of the timer within magic. The
timer method will have to be changed to use the POSIX timer_create()
routine, before this will work properly.
conversion, largely converted from the python script in open_pdks,
which itself was derived from an efabless script, and none of
which have been particularly well tested.
to get the pixel size of the default font, and scale the window
glyphs and scrollbars to match, so that the display is automatically
adjusted for screen resolution and does not require manual intervention
to correct for high resolution displays.
with qflow, which wants to launch applications from symbolic links.
The portability of magic now depends only on setting environment
variable CAD_ROOT, but the portability should still be ensured.
earlier today) to "readlink -f", because "realpath" does not exist
on some systems (e.g., CentOS). "readlink" seems to be more
universally available. Noticed that the ext2spice and ext2sim
scripts use /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash, which would cause problems
with some systems where sh != bash.
By having the build system put in a relative path rather
than an absolute path. Unfortunately, make does not support
computing relative paths manually, so a small bash script is
needed that will do this for us.
- this fixes issue where some of the binary objects would contain an
outdated MAGIC_VERSION if "make clean" was not done after the VERSION
file changes. (e.g., the "Magic VERSION revision REVISION" message in
the wish console and the version requirement checks from a tech file)
Instead of a 6-character suffix generated randomly, the 6-character
suffix is generated by a hash algorithm from the device parameters.
If the cell parameters are changed, then the cell itself changes.
If the instance name was default (derived from the cell name) then
the instance name changes accordingly. The result is that there
cannot be two (auto-)generated cells with the same parameters but
with different cell names.
the bottom in non-interacting areas means that any change in DRC
to a subcell must be handled before checking DRC in the parent.
Previously the order of checks was reversed, moving parent cells
to the beginning of the check list. This prevents the error cited
in the previous commit which was showing up as a delayed DRC check
when creating parameterized cells.
processes "interaction areas". This should eliminate weirdnesses
where errors will fail to show up in a subcell that does not
interact with paint or other subcells in the top level edit cell.
These errors cannot be reported directly in the top level cell,
but a new error message has been created to direct the user to
check the subcell for errors. Also: Modified the toolkit procedures
to force DRC to be run on newly created or modified parameterized
cell layouts. There is some oddity about the process that causes
DRC errors to be delayed unless a print statement is put before the
DRC check; I would like to investigate this further.
from the layout window. The main reason for this is to keep the
box out of the image when doing "plot svg". The "plot" command was
also modified to always do a plot of the entire cell in the active
layout window if the box is not present.
easier to scan through a cell's ports. Used that capability in the
"readspice" script to handle case sensitivity problems, and to find
labels that are not ports and force them to be ports to match the
reference netlist.
subcircuit I/O list, and to not fail with an error if something
in the PININFO line cannot be found in the layout (just prints
an error message instead).
probably needs revisiting, because "lef write" and "lef writeall"
need handling to generate the PROPERTYDEFINITIONS block for the
PROPERTY entries to be correct.
SPICE subcircuit definitions from a netlist file and apply the port
order in the netlist to the port labels in the corresponding cell
or cells in the magic database. Also: Corrected an error in the
bloat-all code introduced in a recent commit that can cause a
segfault.
the last couple of days, was left in a state where it keeps appending
".mag" to the filename if "save" or "writeall" is executed more than
once in the same edit session. Also, added ext2sim.sh and ext2spice.sh
to the CLEANS list in tcltk, and added both to .gitignore so they are
not tracked. Removed them from git to stop the current tracking.
now scale with Opts(scale), which is a zoom scalefactor (default 1), and
Opts(toolscale) sets an independent sizing for the toolbar icons, which is
multiplied by the Opts(scale) scalefactor. Also: Added GR_LIBS to the
link options for magicexec and magicdnull, to avoid compile-time problems
on some systems (thank you to Charlene of OpenBSD for the patch!).
scale with the given size (default 16). This can be put in the site.def
or .magicrc file as, e.g., "set Opts(toolsize) 32". This is the first
part of an attempt to get everything to scale properly on ultra-high-
resolution monitors.
and merged the contents into drcmgr.tcl, with a new button in the
DRC manager for saving the DRC contents. Loading is somewhat less
useful since the DRC error tiles are interactive. The DRC manager
still has the issue that every checked edge becomes a separate
entry; this is an artifact of the way the DRC checker works, but
it creates large numbers of error areas, many of which are redundant.
