GENLIB_PLACE_VIA_REF.3alc - Man Page
put a via on top of a reference belonging to an instance in the current figure
Synopsis
#include <genlib.h> void GENLIB_PLACE_VIA_REF(insname, refname, viatype) char ∗insname, ∗refname; char viatype;
Parameters
- insname
Name of the instance in the which the reference is to be searched for
- refname
Name of the reference to be used as target point
- viatype
Type of via to be placed
Description
PLACE_VIA_REF places a via of type viatype on top of the specified reference, refname, in the instance called insname. This function may be used to generate many cells from a single one, in order to "program" decoders for example, or in conjunction with PLACE_SEG_REF(3) or PLACE_CON_REF(3) to translate virtual connectors into fixed ones.
The viatype argument may take the following legal values:
- CONT_POLY
links POLY and ALU1
- CONT_DIF_N
links NDIF and ALU1
- CONT_DIF_P
links PDIF and ALU1
- CONT_BODY_N
links NTIE and ALU1
- CONT_BODY_P
links PTIE and ALU1
- CONT_VIA
links ALU1 and ALU2
- CONT_VIA2
links ALU2 and ALU3
Errors
"GENLIB_PLACE_VIA_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.
"illegal getphins : instance insname does not exist"
The instance called insname does not currently belong to the 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_VIA_REF("a_0", "r1", CONT_VIA);
/∗ Save that on disk ∗/
GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
