at the end of a macro output, even if it is not part of a library.
According to some commercial tools, this is what is expected, even
though the use of "END LIBRARY" is never explained in the LEF/DEF
spec.
supposed to pull "sticky labels" into the cumulative flattened
layout. Because it failed to check for the "sticky" flag, it
would copy all labels, causing extraction time to go exponential
as the number of labels in the design increases. Based on this
correction, the extHierConnectFunc1() routine should be able to
be optimized by stopping the search for sticky labels on the first
non-sticky label, since extSubtreeFunc() ensures that all sticky
labels come first in the label list.
command fails for the tutorial tut3d cell due to a missing
initialization of the cd_cellPlane record in DBCellCopyDefBody().
This was missed in the implementation of "bplane", and was not
checked because the routine is only called from the "plow" command
routines.
for geometry on MASTERSLICE layers (which was inadvertantly broken),
and (2) Added option "lef write -toplayer", which outputs pin geometry
only for the topmost layer belonging to a pin, with connected layers
underneath being designated as obstructions.
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).
(scrollbar, title bar, etc.) from the output if the command is
called from the non-GUI-wrapper environment (where the border area
is part of the rendered output). This was required due to an
unsolved bug in which calling magic to write SVG output from the
wrapper in some pathological case exposed a Tk bug that caused
the Tk grid manager to infinite loop, filling memory without
limit.
in-line comment character recognized by ngspice (which has changed
since the version of the documentation I had, which supported the
use of the character ';', which was what magic was using).
exclude layers created using the "boundary" or "bbox" operators,
since they only exist in specific levels of the hierarchy. Pretty
much by definition they should not be used in a way that requires
additional geometry to be added to the parent cell. This greatly
reduces parent-vs.-child disagreements (and the corresponding error
messages), but does not entirely eliminate them.
caused by the new bloat-all with templayers, which used the distance
record in the bloat structure differently than the other bloat
functions, and therefore was messing up the enumeration of layers
needing to be handled by the hierarchical output. This was probably
also wrong for the existing bloat-all function, which might explain
some problems recently with the GDS output.
"lef write", which had one typo in the formatting, plus was using
a static string method for generating the formatted output that was
implementation-dependent on fprintf(). These have been fixed.
the extractor was not checking temp_subsname as well as glob_subsname,
and so was failing to apply the substrate name to child cells in
"merge" statements in the extract file, causing the substrate to get
disconnected between parent and child.
minimum manufacturing grid (normally 1000 but can be altered by the
"angstroms" flag in the cifoutput section, and by "gridlimit").
The output values then are truncated such that the floating-point
output value, when multiplied by the UNITS value, is always an
integer. e.g., "gridlimit 5" will change UNITS to 200, and values
will be minimum precision 0.005, or 5 nanometers.
generation in the "cifoutput" section of the techfile. This operator
solves the problems with the catecorner position of geometry when
attempting to automatically close up gaps between islands of a layer.
works for the first pair of types/plane being below the second pair of
types/plane (upward fringing from the top of a wire to an overlapping
wire above it), which was not being handled due to an implicit assumption
that plane1 < plane2, which does not have to be the case.
Before this modification "directed" surround rule only worked for layers1 and layers2 belonging to the same plane.
After this modification the "directed" rule works also for different planes, even if layer1 is a contact type.
could cause serious errors on systems that do not auto-zero allocated
memory. Also: Fixed an error introduced by a recent commit to allocate
character memory for efReadLine() which frees the memory before reading
a .res.ext file, causing a crash when using "ext2spice" with the
"extresist on" option.
memory for the input line instead of using a fixed 1024-character
buffer. That avoids the issue of rare but possible overflow when
reading a .ext file with unknown line lengths.
a truncated line. There is still a question as to why an example
occurred that caused a line to be truncated, and whether a buffer
size needs to be made larger or made dynamically allocated.
change from passing the HierName to passing the HierContext (of which
HierName is a part) so that more information from HierContext (such
as the cell use being visited) can be passed to the callback
procedure (largely for diagnostic purposes).
optional name field to the "substrate" line in the extract section
of the techfile. This is the default name of the substrate if not
connected to anything labeled. It may use a Tcl variable (preferred).
(2) Added command option "instance orientation [-def]" that returns
the orientation of the named or selected instance. The -def option
returns the orientation using DEF naming convention; otherwise, the
naming used with "getcell" is generated.
probably needs revisiting, because "lef write" and "lef writeall"
need handling to generate the PROPERTYDEFINITIONS block for the
PROPERTY entries to be correct.
