SYNOPSYS¶
#include "mlo.h"
void sortlosig(signals)
losig_list ∗∗signals;
PARAMETERS¶
- ∗∗signals
- Pointer to the head of the list of signals that is to be sorted
DESCRIPTION¶
sortlosig sorts the list of signals pointed to by
signals. The
signals are sorted by names, but since names are not the signals identifier,
the
getsigname(3) routine is called to retrieve a signal name.
The standart
qsort(3) function library is called for sorting. Therefore,
a table the number of signal wide is created, requiring a lot of memory with
big circuits. Also, even if
qsort(3) runs in n log n time,
getsigname(3) is called twice, and the natural comparison function
once, and this is quite time consuming with big circuits. It is recommended to
use this function only if needed.
EXAMPLE¶
#include "mlo.h"
void savesorted(figname)
char ∗figname;
{
lofig_list ∗figure = getlosig(figname, 'A');
sortlocon(&figure->LOCON);
sortlosig(&figure->LOSIG);
savelofig(figure);
}
