The previous code always read in a defined size buffer and any
name longer gets cut which causes issue during extraction because
any collision on the truncated name causes components to get "lost".
So here instead we keep a local stack buffer of 512 byte and use it
if possible, but for longer string we allocate some space on the heap
temporarily.
Some later error processing had to be refactored a bit to make sure
we can always clean-up after ourselves once we're done with the
buffer.

for the DEF file contents, and loads the cell into the layout
window when done. That makes it consistent with other similar
functions such as "gds read". Existing scripts which create (by
loading) a new cell before reading the DEF should not be affected
by the change.
PIN entry in a DEF file when read by "def read". Previously,
"PLACED" and "FIXED" were handled, but "COVER" was missed. Magic
treats all three the same way.
LefHelper_DBTechNameType_LefLower() identified and introduced during
conversion to const data usage.
Only side-effect is some log messages will use original verbatim token
now instead of lowercase version (but this seems ok when file parsing,
to quote the problematic information source verbatim)
Some function parameters (char *sname) have been made const due
referencing const data sources.
K&R obsolete syntax removal for C23 compatibility series
did not need to be changed, but the line below it that depended
on the layer being a contact type was wrong; the contact had
to be identified independently of the last layer type, which
might not be the contact cut type.
non-default rule. The code was first failing to identify the via
cut type from the generated via record, and then it was failing
to return to the non-default rule width after the route exits the
via. Both issues have been fixed. Thanks to Sylvain Munaut for
providing a reproducible test case.
in DEF read and write. The NONDEFAULT LAYER WIREEXT was assumed
to refer to the default wire extension at segments, when instead
it refers to the wire extension only at vias. The wire
extension at segments is presumably defined by the nondefault
segment (and wire extension at vias remains unimplemented, which
is probably not a big issue because everyone puts the wire
extensions into the via definitions anyway).
(and similar) independent routed segments in the SPECIALNETS section
(which was already working correctly for regular NETS). This solves
github issue tracker issue #264 from Christian Haufe.
Lookup() is used for command-line parsing in magic and accepts any
unique string that matches a partial keyword. LEF and DEF do not
allow partial keywords, so only LookupFull() is appropriate to use
for LEF and DEF file parsing. This fixes issue #263 from Christian
Haufe.
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).
Both were corrected with respect to the definition of non-default
(taper) rules. "def write" was additionally modified to avoid
redundantly processing tiles where tile areas were merged together
to form a complete wire. There is plenty of room for optimization,
but the output appears to be matching the layout. Also: Revised
the definition of "(not) visible layers" to include labels attached
to those layers, so that turning off visibility of any layer will
also hide all labels attached to that layer.
"slivers"; the error tended to produce artifacts (extra metal)
around contacts. Fixed an issue that caused the DEF write routine
to open the same file twice instead of a new file for the second
part of the DEF data, and then potentially hit a runaway condition
when trying to merge the two files together.
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.
flattening based on cells which have a property "flatten". Also:
Modified the DEF read and write to convert DIEAREA into a
FIXED_BBOX property. This solves issues with placing of components
from DEF, when those components may not have have come from place &
route and may not have P&R bounding boxes. Also: Fixed the
documentation for the "dump" command, which was missing the optional
orientation in the description.
non-default rules and so can accurately capture wire widths other
than the technology LEF defaults (also corrected a bug with non-
default rules for "def read"). Corrected via handling in "def
write" to function as claimed (although the algorithm is still
naive and expects all contacts to be rectangular, which is usually
true but doesn't have to be).
with class, use, and shape information from the DEF file PINS record.
This is similar to what is done with LEF file annotation, but less
sophisticated (only erases an existing pin if it is an exact match
for pin name and location).
DEF reading to use vector fonts on PIN labels, with some ad hoc
rules for size and rotation (may need refinement). Modified the
DEF annotation (def read -annotate) so that the preferred position
of labels is on a wire leading out from a pin connection, which
is a "safer" place to put it, in case the layout was manually
edited between the DEF read and annotation. Fixed another two
crash conditions related to read-only views. Corrected a startup
error caused by an uninitialized variable used by the "wiring"
section of the tech file.
to be annotated from a DEF file. This is particularly useful if
"def read" has been used without the "-labels" option, and the
labels are needed at some point.
"gds datestamp" for LEF reads. When set to non-default, all cell
definitions created from LEF macros will be given the specified
timestamp, which allows the stamps of abstract views to match the
stamps of full views, preventing issues of updated timestamps
whenever a layout is switched between views.
this limited ports to 16384, which seemed reasonable at the time.
However, the sky130_sram_macro layouts connect power and ground in a
way that when coupled with "extract unique" can generate tens of
thousands of ports and overrun the bit field, showing that automation
can do the unexpected. The solution was to split out the port number
from the label record as its own 32-bit value.
all geometry will be handled; the previous behavior expected only
a single rectangle per pin and so would only acknowledge the last
entry in any list of rectangles for the pin.
I'm seeing warnings when parsing a DEF with BLOCKAGES in it:
DEF read, Line 572201 (Message): Unknown keyword "BLOCKAGES" in DEF file; ignoring.

DEF read, Line 572205 (Error): END statement out of context.
Skip over the section.
Ghazy) to read pin uses from a DEF file, including the three types
that are not defined by the LEF format (go figure). Expanded the
bitmask of label flags to include the additional use types. Also
shifted the label flag bitmask up to make additional room for more
port number, as there is no point in having unused bits in the
bitmask.
