to force internal units to be used; this usage is now deprecated
and needed to be changed to the "units" command. Also: Fixed a
separate issue with getting both "view bbox" and "view get" to
return values in the currently selected units. Also: Fixed an
issue with "property" when setting a property to a list passed as
a single value (e.g., "property FIXED_BBOX [box values]"), which
needed to null the string after each value.
new properties, so created a "property compat" setting and made
it TRUE by default. This makes magic print all properties as
type "string" on output into a .mag file. Which is fine, since
it converts all values to the right type on input anyway. The
only thing that backwards-compatibility mode prevents is user-
defined properties that are not strings. That is a very rare case
and can be done by turning off comptability mode. Some time in
the future compatibility mode can be changed to be default false,
but there's probably no real need to do so.
are handled. Properties were previously only character strings,
which had become cumbersome because properties were being used for
mask hints and bounding boxes, with the necessity of constantly
converting values from string to integer and back, which can cause
a performance impact as well as just being messy. The main difference
to the command is the addition of an optional first keyword argument
for the property type, which can be "string", "integer", "dimension",
or "double". All types except "string" can consist of multiple
values. Multiple values can be specified as separate arguments on
the command line, so that, for example, values of FIXED_BBOX or
MASKHINTS_* no longer need to be quoted. In addition, this completes
the handling of "units" implemented recently, as all properties of
the type "dimension" can be entered in the current units, will display
in the current units, and will scale with the database.
since this is a common artifact of foundry cells and almost
always incompatible with magic. Modified the "port" command to
allow "port make <index>" on a label where other labels of the
same text already have the same index. Removed deprecated
documentation and added some missing documentation, such as an
explanation of the "ext2spice subcircuit auto" option.
In the TCL8 to TCL9 porting information it was indicated the
sentinal NULL termination should be cast (char *) with API
call Tcl_AppendResult().
This was already in place for most of the codebase this
resolves the last few places.
Argument order and type declaration mismatches:
Label *
portFindLabel(editDef, port, unique, nonEdit)
CellDef *editDef;
bool unique;
bool port; // If TRUE, only look for labels that are ports
bool *nonEdit; // TRUE if label is not in the edit cell
This warrants inspection at call site CmdLQ.c:1712 as both types are bool
is it not so straightforward to check.
It looks like when PORT_MAKE is the option 'port make [index] [dir...]'
port=FALSE is this the correct intention ? This looks ok in that
we're searching for labels to make (upgrade) into ports.
Where as all other 'port ....' commands are operating on items that are
already ports, and ignoring labels.
So the K&R argument name order is also how the call-sites are using it.
void
cmdStatsHier(parent, nuses, child)
CellDef *parent, *child;
int nuses;
This was checked and found ok as callback to ../database/DBcount.c
DBTreeCountPaint(... hiercount, ...)
Due to this not-obvious K&R style also being used in the documentation
this was changed as well (in another commit0.

The NULL added is cdata which looks to be opaque callback user-defined-pointer,
this is not used in the method printPropertiesFunc() as a possible 3rd argument.

"unexpected asymmetric device" is printed prematurely, as it
is inside a loop checking over all device entries compatible
with a device type. Also: Flagged an issue with the "label"
keyword in the "cifinput" section of a tech file. The "label"
keyword cannot be used in conjunction with boolean operators.
It can only connect labels on a specific GDS type to one magic
type. Unfortunately, because this was not flagged before as
an error or warning, the incorrect usage has crept into a lot
of tech files. This uncovers an underlying issue that labels
must be allowed to automatically reconnect types, which is
undermined by the "no-reconnect-labels" cifinput option. That
issue will be addressed in an upcoming commit.
"pick x y" which acts like "cursor", but operates on a database
coordinate instead of a pointer coordinate. Made a few other
corrections to the command logging code so that it produces
valid output when the log file is sourced.
natural sort instead of ASCII-based sorting, so that ports that
are numbered arrays will be indexed properly by count. Also:
Modified the "extresist" handling of substrate to draw the default
substrate type over the entire cell area (less areas of nwell or
other conflicting type). This allows extresist to extract the
entire substrate as a resistive network. The result is ugly and
may warrant some aggressive network simplification, but it should
at least be realistic.
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.
Previous commits changed the port IDs to an integer rather than a
bitfield. However, the first and next commands were utilizing that
a -1 became a large positive integer when masked. This resulted in
the min port operations failing. Added a default comparison with -1
to fix the problem.
recognized as a valid command when file locking has been disabled as
a compile-time option. The command then generates an error on
"locking enable" but simply ignores the command "locking disable".
node representing the global substrate on cells that are abstract
views. Corrected a typecasting issue in ext2spice.c that throws
a compiler warning. Added another check for a cell being editable
when painting, which is a case that was not covered by the
previous code change to address the same issue.
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.
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.
require that an edit cell be defined. This stops a lot of commands
from failing on non-writeable cells. There really should not be a
concept of "non-editable" cells at all, just non-writeable ones.
output when using the "port ... index" or "port ... name" to query
values from a specific port by name or index. The "readspice"
script has been modified to use this option to prevent unnecessary
error output from the script as it searches a layout for possible
name matches to a SPICE netlist subcircuit pin list.
extra option "-default" that allows defaults to be set for any
label property other than text or port-related properties.
Subsequently, the command "label <text>" will apply the given
defaults to the label. This allows a simpler way to create
rendered labels from the command line without remembering all of
the arguments to the extended "label" command.
it as a single value "flags" (unsigned char) with meaningful flag
names. Added new option "-fail" to the load command to allow
magic to fail on loading a cell that does not have a corresponding
file rather than the default action of creating a new cell. Added
a flag for the "-quiet" option so that behavior on "-fail" can be
done quietly.
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.
Instead of a 6-character suffix generated randomly, the 6-character
suffix is generated by a hash algorithm from the device parameters.
If the cell parameters are changed, then the cell itself changes.
If the instance name was default (derived from the cell name) then
the instance name changes accordingly. The result is that there
cannot be two (auto-)generated cells with the same parameters but
with different cell names.
bounding box of the selection (somewhat unuseful, especially as the
result gets absorbed by the tag callback), and "box select", which
sets the cursor box to the bounding box of the selection (much more
useful). Also corrected the "port" command so that the command
"port make" will search only for non-port labels.
command when annotating an existing layout from a LEF database, if
there is a port in the layout that is shadowed by a label with the
same name that is not a port.
easier to scan through a cell's ports. Used that capability in the
"readspice" script to handle case sensitivity problems, and to find
labels that are not ports and force them to be ports to match the
reference netlist.
forces all ports in a cell to be reordered in alphabetical order,
which ensures that the output of "extract" is always the same
(apart from coupling capacitance, which still ends up in randomized
order due to the use of hashing based on memory address followed
by iterating through the hash table).
SPICE subcircuit definitions from a netlist file and apply the port
order in the netlist to the port labels in the corresponding cell
or cells in the magic database. Also: Corrected an error in the
bloat-all code introduced in a recent commit that can cause a
segfault.
coordinate system origin to the specified (current) location.
This is a much more efficient method than selecting everything in
a layout and moving it, especially for very large layouts where
selection and moving becomes prohibitive.
