"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.
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).
defMakeInverseLayerMap() from returning complete contact types when used
by the lefWrite command when writing LEF macros, which contain cut layers
but not entire contacts.
forms of syntax found in the LEF/DEF spec up to version 5.8. Handles
vias formed by parameter and a number of syntax variations that mess
up the usual parsing. Corrected an error in the calculation of wire
extensions when wires are given with three coordinates.
discovered that not all LEF/DEF rectangle coordinates are in
canonical order. Took the opportunity to update the LefError()
routine with an additional argument so that it can separate
errors, warnings, and informational messages, and will correctly
state whether the output is for a LEF or DEF read operation.
