(OpenBSD/NetBSD/DragonFly support), and a change to the wrapper to allow
manual override of the number of icon columns (because sometimes some
window managers are clueless about the correct window dimensions).
+ Add "smoke test" build CI to Github Actions
+ Added a configure_mac script (requires brew)
~ caddr_t -> void* (was never a part of any UNIX standard)
(Take two)
+ Adds a GitHub Actions flow that builds an AppImage (see AppImages.org) that can produce a monolithic magic binary
~ Fix a portability issue in tcltk/magic.sh.in
This binary should theoretically work on any Linux distro with Glibc 2.3+ and Cairo 1.8+, which is any up to date distro in the last decade.
linking it to Tk or X11 graphics. Added new command "display" which
returns the display type, which is good for finding out if the
display is "NULL". Added code to allow the wrapper to be defined
for NULL graphics with the Tk console, the main necessities of which
are to remove the "openwrapper" command, and to return immediately
from a number of tag callback functions.
number from the git repository, which is overall more reliable than
the version number, but mainly to support a common method across the
open source tools for providing information to builds like open_pdks
that may need to know what version of every tool was used for the
build.
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.
