text formatting. Made one critical correction to ResGetDevice() to
pass the device type; otherwise, devices on different planes (e.g.,
MiM caps) with the same coordinate will always return the device on
the lowest plane, leading to incorrect results and an eventual crash
when the device record is free'd twice.
not restored until after all cells have been processed through
extraction. Otherwise, top-down connections can end up with
different generated names for the same node, resulting in a
disconnect in the netlist.
to stop the search whenever a cell is not found. Used this to implement
a new option for GDS writes, "gds undefined allow|disallow" (default
"disallow") controls whether or not GDS with undefined references will
be allowed to be written. Similarly affects CIF and LEF writes, extraction,
and DRC (when running "drc check" from the top).
could have multiple ports of the same name. This problem had been
worked over before, but there was an indpendent mechanism producing
the same result for a completely different reason, caused by subcells
being much larger than the cookie-cutter extraction method's extraction
regions. Solved by tracking port names in a hash table and preventing
re-use. (2) ext2spice was producing "no such node" errors; like (1)
this had been previously worked on, and like (1) this mechanism was
independent. Problem came from not passing -1 to extHierSubstrate for
the non-arrayed dimension of a 1-dimensional array. Also: Removed
the word "fatal" from extraction error reporting, as nearly all
extraction errors are entirely benign. This should clear up confusion
among alarmed end-users.

VERSION
Merged recent changes from master back into bplane, as the efficiency of
bplane for doing extraction on large layouts is unquestionably better.
Fixed the implementation of DBMoveCell() for bplane. Corrected an error
in the bplane version of dbScaleCell() that enumerates cell uses but
does not free the list.
