Bump VERSION to 8.3.645.
magic.wasm can now be built as two variants packaged in the same npm
release: notcl/ (legacy, magic's own parser) and tcl/ (intubun/tcl 9.x
statically linked, commands evaluated by Tcl_EvalEx). The TCL fork is
pinned via npm/tcl.ref and cloned/built by magic itself — the tcl/
checkout is treated as read-only and built out-of-source into
magic/build-tcl-wasm/.
Configure layer:
- New usingTk variable decoupled from usingTcl in scripts/configure.in
+ scripts/configure, so --with-tcl --without-tk is finally a valid
combination. Native Linux Tcl+Tk builds keep their previous behaviour
(both flags default to enabled).
- When usingTk is empty, configure passes -DMAGIC_NO_TK so the small
number of remaining Tk callsites in tcltk/tclmagic.{h,c} compile out,
and TKCOMMON_SRCS / USE_TK_STUBS are omitted from the link.
WASM build orchestration:
- toolchains/emscripten/build-tcl-wasm.sh builds libtcl9.x.a + libtclstub.a
+ tclConfig.sh out-of-source from a pristine intubun/tcl checkout.
- npm/build.sh grew a --variant=<tcl|notcl|both> flag and writes its
outputs into npm/tcl/ and npm/notcl/. It also clones intubun/tcl with
autocrlf=false at the SHA pinned by npm/tcl.ref.
- magic/Makefile (WASM block only): magicWasm.o is now compiled with
DFLAGS_NOSTUB so Tcl_CreateInterp resolves to libtcl9.x directly
before tclStubsPtr is set. magic.js link pulls in LIB_SPECS_NOSTUB
and -ltclstub. After rules.mak include, magic: is a phony alias for
magic.js so the generic ${MODULE} recipe doesn't fight it.
- toolchains/emscripten/defs.mak: add -sUSE_ZLIB=1 (libtcl9 references
zlib), replace -sSTACK_SIZE=N with -Wl,-z,stack-size=N (emcc >=5
rejects the setting form).
- magic/magicWasm.c bootstraps the embedded interp under MAGIC_WRAPPER
(Tcl_CreateInterp -> Tcl_Init -> Tclmagic_Init) and routes
run_command through Tcl_EvalEx.
- magic/magicTop.c: gate MagicVersion/Revision/CompileTime on
!MAGIC_WRAPPER so they don't collide with the copies in
tcltk/tclmagic.c when both objects land in the same wasm binary.
npm package:
- Subpath exports: ".", "./tcl", "./notcl". Default import keeps the
pre-existing non-TCL behaviour for backward compatibility.
- examples/smoke-tcl.mjs exercises the TCL variant.
CI:
- main-wasm.yml clones intubun/tcl at the pinned ref, builds both
variants via npm/build.sh --variant=both, runs the existing notcl
test suite and the new TCL smoke test, and publishes only on a
v<x.y.z>... git tag. Tag name (minus the leading v) becomes the
npm version.
The pieces that make Magic actually buildable as a WASM library.
* magic/magicWasm.c — new headless entry point exporting four
functions used by the JS wrapper:
- magic_wasm_init() idempotent initialisation
- magic_wasm_run_command(s) dispatch one Magic command
- magic_wasm_source_file(p) execute a script from the VFS
- magic_wasm_update() drive a display-update cycle
Sets CAD_ROOT=/ if unset, so embedded technology files under
/magic/sys/ resolve correctly. Centers the command point inside
GrScreenRect so commands route to the layout window client
rather than the border/window-management client.
* utils/main.c, utils/main.h — split magicMain() into magicMainInit()
+ the dispatch loop. magicMainInit is idempotent (a static flag
guards against re-initialisation) so JS callers can call any of
the four wasm entry points first without sequencing.
* magic/Makefile — adds the WASM link target, gated by MAKE_WASM=1
set from toolchains/emscripten/defs.mak. Conditionally compiles
magicWasm.c into the main binary, links to magic.js and runs
post-build.sh on the result.
* toolchains/emscripten/defs.mak — Emscripten linker flags (WASM=1,
MODULARIZE, EXPORT_ES6, ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH, INITIAL_MEMORY=32M,
STACK_SIZE=5M), the four EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS, and the embed-file
bindings for the technology files under /magic/sys/.
* toolchains/emscripten/post-build.sh — patches Emscripten's ESM
output so it works in pure Node.js ESM: aliases require()
through createRequire, injects __filename / __dirname shims,
and resyncs the ___emscripten_embedded_file_data constant from
the wasm global section if Emscripten emitted a stale value.
Idempotent and pinned to emsdk 3.1.56 (see WARNING in the
header).
* toolchains/emscripten/README.md — full build documentation:
quick-start via npm/build.sh, manual build, list of embedded
files, exported C API, JavaScript usage example, and notes on
CAD_ROOT, DISPLAY_SUSPEND, and the signal-API stubs.
* .gitignore — adds the WASM artefacts (magic.js, magic.wasm,
magic.symbols), tightens the editor/OS cruft list, and keeps
toolchains/emscripten/defs.mak tracked despite the `defs.mak`
ignore rule.
generally unused, as it is incompatible with the Tcl/Tk build of
magic. However, I had not intended to remove it, only move the
name from "readline-4.3" to "readline". But "readline/readline"
was in .gitignore, which caused the contents to be removed from
the repository. This commit restores those files, and also
prevents the readline directory Makefile from making a symbolic
link called "readline" to itself, which was causing compile-time
issues. The readline code is only kept for backwards compatibility
with ancient versions of magic not using the Tcl/Tk interpreter.
This is a series of updates to make building magic far less of a headache:
* Drop `csh`/`tcsh` dependency and detection from `./configure`.
* Rewrite makedbh in Python.
* Rewrite printmans in POSIX sh.
* Stop deleting Depend before every compile (which causes some files to recompile and thus increases recompile times significantly)
* Add Depend to CLEANS in scripts/defs.mak.in
* Turn POSIX suffix rule in magic/rules.mak to a pattern rule with proper prerequisites
a routine that should have been called with a NULL argument, but
instead was called with no argument, making the behavior system-
dependent. Revised the parsing of the "defaultareacap" and
"defaultperimeter" statements in the tech file, such that the short
version of both statements gets automatic handling of the substrate
and isolated substrate areas; this goes back to the recent change
in extraction behavior to redefine the "substrate type" (e.g., pwell)
during extraction as defining isolated substrate areas, and not the
default substrate. The earlier code change dealt with problems
related to extracting nodes and regions, but did not consider how
parasitic capacitance was affected. This commit resolves that issue.
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.
extraction: Fixed a problem causing long extraction times, at
least some of which had to do with a poor string hash function
implementation. Fixed a huge problem in ext2spice, where the
node merge function was particularly poorly implemented, causing
exponentially increasing processing times with layout size.
Corrected a minor issue with ext2spice where arguments were
improperly specified, causing unnecessary error messages to be
issued. Fixed an error in the "load -dereference" command option,
which again caused unnecessary error messages to be issued.
Changed .gitignore to ignore Depend files, which are now regenerated
on every build.
This correction allows a full path to be passed for the cellname
and will (correctly) break the path into cell name and path
components (previously was naming the cell with the full path).
To avoid name conflicts, the cell name gets modified if the path
cannot be resolved against an existing cell of the same name.
