or partial paths from environmental variables. The env variable
names have to start with '$' as the first character after the .inc
or .lib token. Two consecutive env variables are possible. They are
read each until directory separator '/' or '\\', or if none is found,
until the end of the line. In this case the filename has to be included
in the env variable. A .lib line may look like
.lib "$ENVS1\$ENVS2/libraries\sky130_fd_pr\latest\models\sky130.lib.spice" tt
If an env variable is read successfully, a ngspice variable with
the same name (without leading '$') and contents is defined for
use in a .control section.
for loading the next .include file.
If input directory dir_name is not set when loading .include files,
set it to the first .include found.
Both instruction add to the search paths for file to be inluded
and are valuable when the netlist is sent by circbyline without
input file involved.
non-debug, osdi, xspice, readline, klu, openmp
Still needs to be enabled explicitely:
cider (by --enable-cider)
./compile_linux-new.sh tested with Ubuntu 24.04LTS
More testing is needed (switch off the now standard options)!
Add controlled_exit() to errors when parsing functions.
Add verbose error messages, including line number and
name of the source file.
.lib file handlinmg with its recursive structure probably needs
testing and improvements.
More error messages may need this update.
Add wordlist sourceinfo to store input sources
path/file, internal, etc.)
debug_out.txt adds line info (var. sourcelineinfo)
Add sourcelineinfo to wordlist sourceinfo and to each new line.
When adding lines due to compatibility handling, use existing
linenum_orig and linesource.
a path for *.osdi files (compiled Verilog-A models). The search
sequence for a *.osdi file now is:
Absolute path (if any)
Linux home directory ~/
Path in NGSPICE_OSDI_DIR
Path of netlist loaded
Path of executable ngspice.exe
Path of 'Current working directory'
behave as reasonably expected and as described in the manual.
Previously a missing (null) value was always accepted if the ifsspec.ifs
file contained a default value, and several of the the included
code models worked that way. Where there was a useful default,
"no" has channged to "yes". Some models with a look-up table defined
by two parameters had such defaults that did nothing useful. Thay have
been given useful vector defaults. These changes should not affect
previously-working netlists.
