errors show up as "See error definition in subcell", which has
been the case since I modified the code to prevent showing DRC
errors in subcells that have been resolved by the hierarchy
above them. DRC errors are now intelligently searched
downward in the heirarchy when enumerated for "drc why".
Also changed the DRC check tile definition to offset such that
there is a tile centered on the origin, instead of the origin
being between four tiles. Since most layouts are subcells and
most subcells are small relative to the DRC check tile area,
and most subcells are placed near the origin, then most subcells
will appear in only one tile, which speeds up the DRC process
somewhat.
DRCCheckThis() is called in order of top to bottom of the hierarchy
when called from drcCheckFunc() although it was changed to order
DRCPendingRoot from bottom to top. drcCheckFunc() then does it
backwards. Fixing this appears to have resolved some weird errors
with DRC errors not showing up when doing "drc check" (initially)
and DRC errors disappearing when making changes to a generated
cell. Appears to be okay now.
cell name from the cell name hash table. So when "cellname rename"
was changed recently to prevent changing the name of a cell that
already exists, the suggested recipe for R-C extraction no longer
works: "load x; flatten y; load y; cellname delete x; cellname
rename y x". Solved by adding a HashRemove() function to the
cell deletion routine. Thanks to Egor Lukyachenko for reporting
the issue (Github issue tracker #467).
the dialog (and run limit checks) is installed by default on
checkboxes and selection menus, as it is already done for entry
boxes. Otherwise it is possible to make a selection (like changing
a device type) that invalidates the existing values, but if Apply
is hit immediately afterward, then no checks will be run and the
values may be used as-is even if invalid. This does not prohibit
the use of "add_dependency" to change the callback behavior.
added in a recent commit. The extension was handled by
"ext2spice" but "ext2sim" was missed. Without it, "extresist"
will fail for any circuit containing a device defined in the
tech file extract section with "dsubcircuit".
of an existing cell, which does not appear to be a fatal problem,
but must be causing a memory leak. Also: Corrected an error in
extresist when reading .sim files, in code that is slated to be
overhauled, so this is just a patch to avoid a crash condition.
handles Control-u in the same way that tkcon does, so that when
typing via redirection into the console, Control-u will delete
the entire command back to the prompt. (See github issue #456.)
the "tool" implementation. Previously, the "tool" implementation
would overwrite the button bindings for the mouse. The problem
with that is that if the user customizes one or more of the
bindings, such as using the mouse wheel for zooming instead of
panning, then the custom macro gets obliterated when the tool
changes. The reimplementation creates multiple macro sets which
are unique to each tool. The "enable_tools" function sets up
the initial unique default bindings for each tool. The user
can then customize the bindings for any tool, and the
implementation no longer requires the constant changing of key
bindings. Note that the new implementation is slightly less
efficient because the macro tables are found by string hash
based on the name of the tool or client type, not the integer
client ID. The reduction in efficiency is balanced by the
increased flexibility of the macros.
"replace" as the 2nd argument. This allows a simpler 'tag add
<command> <value>' than the existing awkward 'tag <command>
"[tag <command>]; <value>'. Using "add" also helps avoid
mistakes like one that was in the code for a long time which
overwrites one of the helper window callbacks. With this done,
added some additional callbacks to the "library manager" to
update when a new file is created by "select save" or "writeall".
Also added "Refresh" buttons to these windows, just in case.
Implemented a zoom function on the mouse scroll wheel when the
Control key is pressed. This is a stop-gap for a problem with
overriding button bindings that re-establish themselves when the
tool (box, wiring, etc.) changes. That needs to have a more
comprehensive solution (such as tool-specific bindings).
"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).
terminal resistance, for cases where the resistor value is
estimated and output along with (or instead of) the physical
length and width or area and perimeter. Corrected the "area"
and "perimeter" type handling so that they combine in parallel,
not in series (note that "perimeter" resistance is just an area
resistance with the depth of the material factored in).
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.

the "s=" parameter is used, resulting in an attempt to access a
substrate node that does not exist.
section of the tech file, which can be used to alter the layer
connectivity tables from the default. This can be used, for
example, to disconnect substrate and well from taps, to
generate a netlist that checks for soft-connect errors.
Removes ubuntu-20.04 config (no longer available on GitHub CI)
added clang-19 and gcc-13
removed no_gc_gu, as all 'gl' (GL) options require 'gu' (GLU)
added build for --enable-readline-bundled
added X11+Cairo
The compiler has started to error on casting int* to fd_set*
Since WASM build has presense of fd_set then the ifdef have been
switched away from the legacy (pre 2000) method.
We make a copy of readonly string on function entry and use that instead.
strrchr() is a bit of an annoying API, takes const char* but returns char*
but it is the same string. One for static analysis or C++.
SimSelectArea() argument unused.
