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.
* Adds Python 3 to macOS requirements
* Gate include of `DEPEND_FILE` in `rules.mak` on whether the target is `clean` or not (the include isn't pre-processed; it will attempt to build everything in the include otherwise)
* Make `makedbh` a configurable file- the shebang now uses the discovered path for Python3
engine. Rule checks of triggering rules are not subject to
clipping to the clip area. However, they *must* be clipped to
the (larger) overall DRC check area, because no layout is valid
outside of that area. This clipping was missed, allowing
triggering rules to trigger on areas outside the valid layout,
resulting in mysterious false-positive DRC errors. This has
been fixed.
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
configure script, now that Alessandro De Laurenzis has cleaned
up the code so that it will compile with the setting (now, just
need to do the same thing for "implicit-int"!).
Compression levels of the output can be controlled with the "gds
compress [<value>]" command, where <value> 0 (default) is uncompressed
output, 6 is "normal" gzip compression, and 9 is maximum compression.
of systems calls to "gzip" and "gunzip". A compressed GDS file can
be made simply by doing "gds write <name>.gds.gz", and can be read
simply by doing "gds read <name>.gds.gz". Names of compressed files
can be put in the GDS_FILE property of a cell.
When running preproc.py, use the python3 that the configure script found
instead of assuming (via preproc.py's #! line) that it is called
"python3" and is located in PATH. This allows the user to specify a
different python3 by running e.g.:
./configure ac_cv_path_PYTHON3=/path/to/python3
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.
in github issue #149. This causes magic to no longer write log files
for "make" and "make install" but will properly exit with a non-zero
return code on any error during compile.
Also: Corrected the command "tech drc surround <type1> <type2>" so
that it now returns the correct value when <type1> and <type2> are in
the same plane. Added new command "tech drc directional <type1> <type2>"
which works the same way as "tech drc surround" except for directional
surround rules. Used this to generate vias from "def write" with the
correct metal surround amounts included in the via definiton. The
route analysis then ignores tile slivers that make up the surrounding
material around contacts. Also implemented a method that handles
routes that are made of multiple thin tiles due to the maximum horizontal
stripes rule. Now magic handles "def write" well except for not dealing
with non-minimum-width routes unless they're specifically called out as
"special" nets.
traditionally been kept for backwards compatibility. However, the
operation of "ext2spice" and "ext2sim" as separate programs has
become extremely difficult to maintain, and so it has been dropped
in favor of folding both into the program as commands, as was done
a long time ago in the Tcl/Tk version.
whenever a process writes a cell to disk, it immediately releases the
file lock it had on that cell, which is clearly not the intent of file
locking. Fixed this issue. On a related topic, revised the "cellname
writeable" command so that it can make a cell editable even if the cell
has an advisory lock and cannot be made writeable. Perhaps there should
be a clearer distinction here between "writeable" and "editable". Also:
Reconsidered the previous commit, which removed the "--disable-locking"
from the configuration options. Because some operating systems may not
implement fnctl()-based file locking (Cygwin, for one, apparently doesn't),
it is still useful to be able to completely remove the function, in case
the operating system will fail to recognize the fnctl() values in the
code. Now, file locking behavior can be permanently removed through the
configuration option, or temporarily disabled from the command line.
Smith and which had escaped my attention. The commit from 8/3/2019
fixed an obvious fatal error but just replaced it with something
syntactically clean but nonsensical. This commit just removes the
questionable line altogether.
tech file format "version" section. This can be used to specify the
version of magic that must be used to be compatible with the tech file.
This effectively supercedes the technology version number. (2) Changed
the behavior of "make" to set the version and revision numbers on doing
"make" instead of "configure". This allows the version to update
correctly after doing a "git pull" followed by "make" without doing
"configure" in between. (3) Fixed a couple of issues that were flagged
as compile-time warnings.
preproc.py script from another project. Had to further develop it to
get around the amazingly complicated preprocessor usage in the scmos
subdirectory. Needed to add handling of parameterized definitions;
could not figure out how to align the syntax used in scmos/extract_template
with any consistent syntax. Gave up and rewrote some of the contents of
extract_template to avoid the more ambiguous usage. All of this is to
support a completely deprecated scmos.tech. However, it does avoid both
the M4 and cpp preprocessors altogether. Also did auto-detection of
python3 in the configure script for use of the preproc.py preprocessor,
and applied the same preprocessor to the macro definitions.
distributed installations, where the immediate installation location
is different from the final installation location, but in the case
where it is not desirable to put the entire install hierarchy as a
subdirectory of DESTDIR.
frame buffers and render buffers, and use fast frame buffer bit
block transfers to do copies to and from backing store. Also found
a long-standing problem where multiple windows fail to refresh
properly in OpenGL and Cairo interfaces due to a lack of calling
GrLock() and GrUnlock() around the call to fetch backing store
after an expose event. The use of the general purpose frame
buffer allows magic to avoid calling any indirect rendering methods
and should now (finally) allow magic to run in OpenGL mode over a
VNC. Use of direct rendering methods only also means that magic
does not need to be compiled with the ad hoc switch to have Cairo
handle drawing into pixmaps for the icons (this remains to be
tested).
Cairo works perfectly for the off-screen rendering and that OpenGL
works perfectly for the on-screen rendering, make a compile-time
option to use both in their respective areas of perfection.
