magic/lef
Tim Edwards fdcc178bcd After a discussion about "cifinput" rules, realized that there is
no way to implement boolean operators on labels, so any "label"
statement in the section can apply only to one magic layer.  This
is regularly violated in most (all?) techfiles (due mainly to lack
of explanation and guidance).  The addition of the "no-reconnect-
labels" option for cifinput made it worse, as it can cause a label
to be attached to the wrong layer and be stuck that way.  Even
without the option, an attachment to a non-connecting type is a
problem;  DIFF cannot simultaneously have a connection to both
ndiff and pdiff, so it will be one or the other, and the one not
connected can easily get labels moved to other nets.  To avoid
this:  (1) removed the "no-reconnect-labels" option, and (2) made
the automatic label reconnection smarter, as well as splitting it
into two different behaviors based on whether a label is being
created or manipulated from the command line (more or less the
original behavior) vs. being read from GDS or LEF.  The new rules
assume that labels attached to a GDS type will all map to the
same plane in magic.  To avoid excessive error messages from
existing tech files, a warning is issued only if "labels" changes
the plane of the target layer (a realistic solution rather than
the preferred one).  Also:  Fixed an error that causes a crash on
the "wizard" command "*watch" if the cell being observed is
read-only (see github issue #271).
