TO_DO list for version 1.5
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As of version 1.5.70, the major to-do item list is complete.
|
|
|
|
Possible useful additions (not critical)
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
1) Add new output style allowing netlists to be described by Tcl scripts
|
|
(similar to the C-Code format, but does not require compiling) (this
|
|
was done in 1.5.72, but now needs some scripts to make use of it.)
|
|
2) Add automatic file format guessing from file extension for "write" command
|
|
3) Add Tk GUI to match (and improve upon!) the original X11 GUI.
|
|
4) Incorporate into Tcl-based xcircuit
|
|
5) Extend 2-terminal device handling (namely R and C) to more formats
|
|
(where appropriate).
|
|
6) Generate feedback in the form of a .mag file to facilitate interactive
|
|
netlist comparison in conjunction with magic. This may be an error
|
|
file, but it may also make use of magic 7.2's "element" command to
|
|
build rat's nests or outline areas of interest or anything else that
|
|
might be helpful to interactive comparison.
|
|
7) Improve upon the readability of the netlist comparator output.
|
|
In particular, pinpoint situations in which an error does not show
|
|
up in an obvious way in either the element or node lists.
|
|
8) Handle the hierarchy of ".ext" files automatically.
|
|
9) Retain position information from ".ext" files for the purpose of writing
|
|
feedback information into magic and for matching devices in the element
|
|
list to their counterparts in the original layout [note---done for .sim
|
|
format, which contains position information. Usefulness of improving
|
|
the .ext parsing is questionable. Ditto for item 8].
|
|
10) Expand upon the details of format-to-format translation, (especially
|
|
ntk and ext formats, SPICE format writing, and sim format reading).
|
|
11) Add a "property" command to add/remove properties to check, and change
|
|
the slop values (done).
|
|
12) Add a "subcircuit" command to mimic a SPICE ".SUBCKT ... .ENDS" card
|
|
(i.e., the ability to add subcircuit "stub" definitions from the
|
|
command line or from a setup file).
