NAME¶
GENLIB_PLACE_CON_REF - put a connector on top of a reference belonging an instance in the current figureSYNOPSYS¶
#include <genlib.h> void GENLIB_PLACE_CON_REF(insname, refname, conname, layer, width, face) char ∗insname, ∗refname, ∗conname; char layer, face; long width;
ORIGIN¶
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France.PARAMETERS¶
- insname
- Name of the instance in the which the reference is to be searched for
- refname
- Name of the reference to be used for the connector placement
- conname
- Name of the connector to be placed
- layer
- Physical layer of the connector
- width
- Width of the connector
- face
- Face of the figure on which the connector is to be placed
DESCRIPTION¶
PLACE_CON_REF places a connector called conname ragarding the position of the reference, refname, in the instance called insname. The connector coordinates are computed from the reference coordinates and the face given as argument.- the reference is on the given face of the abutment box
- a connector called conname is added on top of the reference, with the given layer and width.
- the reference is anywhere else
- a connector called conname is added on the given face, face,
of the abutment box, at the y coordinates of the reference if the
face is EAST or WEST, or x one if the face is
NORTH or SOUTH. Then a segment is drawn between the
reference and the connector. All drawn objects are given layer and
width as caracteristics.
- NORTH
- for a connector placed on the top of the cell.
- SOUTH
- for a connector placed on the bottom of the cell.
- EAST
- for a connector placed on the right side of the cell.
- WEST
- for a connector placed on the left side of the cell.
ERRORS¶
"GENLIB_PLACE_CON_REF impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"No figure has been yet specified by a call to
DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a reference inside it. you
must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.
"GENLIB_PLACE_CON_REF impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
No figure has been yet specified by a call to
DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a reference inside it. you
must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.
"GENLIB_PLACE_CON_REF impossible : no abutment box"
The current figure does not have an abutment
box. Use DEF_AB(3) before this function.
"illegal GENLIB_PLACE_CON_REF : orientation is XX"
The face parameter does not have a legal value,
but XX.
"illegal getphins : instance called insname does not exist"
No instance called insname exists in the current
figure
"illegal getphref : references called refname does not exist"
No reference called refname exists in the model of
the instance insname.
EXAMPLE¶
#include <genlib.h> main() { /∗ Create a figure to work on ∗/ GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell"); GENLIB_PLACE("gaci0_b", "r1", NOSYM, 23L, 54L); /∗ Put a reference ∗/ GENLIB_PLACE_CON_REF("r1", "a_0", ALU2, 2, NORTH); /∗ Save that on disk ∗/ GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG(); }
