GENLIB_COPY_UP_ALL_REF3

Synopsys

#include <genlib.h>
void GENLIB_COPY_UP_ALL_REF(reftype, insname, concatenate)
char ∗reftype, ∗insname;
char concatenate;

Parameters

reftype

Type of the references to be duplicated

insname

Name of the instance in the which the references is to be searched for

concatenate

Indicates whether or not to concatenate the instance name to the references names when copying

Overview

COPY_UP_ALL_REF duplicates all the references of type reftype of the instance called insname into the current layout cell. The main purpose of this function is to copy a set references in the upper hierarchical level, so it can be used as virtual connector, for the data-path router. See dpr(1) for details.
The reftype argument can take two values:

See the leaf cells design for generators document for details on reference types and usage.
The concatenate argument can take two values:

AYES

indicates that the name of the copied references is concatenated to the instance name.

NO

implies a direct duplication of the reference name

Errors

"GENLIB_COPY_UP_ALL_REF impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"

"illegal getphins : instance insname does not exist"

"GENLIB_COPY_UP_ALL_REF impossible : references of type reftype do not exist"

Examples

#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
	/∗ Create a figure to work on  ∗/
	GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	GENLIB_PLACE("z2l_y", "r1", NOSYM, 23L, 54L);
	/∗ Put a reference ∗/
	GENLIB_COPY_UP_ALL_REF("ref_con", "r1", NO);
	/∗ Save that on disk ∗/
	GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
