GENLIB_GET_REF_X.3(October 1, 1997) GENLIB_GET_REF_X.3(October 1, 1997)

NAME

GENLIB_GET_REF_X - retrieve the x coordinate of an instance reference

SYNOPSYS

long GENLIB_GET_REF_X(insname, refname)
char ∗insname, ∗refname;

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 SH DESCRIPTION GET_REF_X looks for the reference, refname, in the instance called insname.

RETURN VALUE

The function returns a long int beeing the x position of the reference in the current figure

ERRORS

"GENLIB_GET_REF_X 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_GET_REF_X 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_GET_REF_X impossible : no abutment box"
The current figure does not have an abutment box. Use DEF_AB(3) before this function.
"illegal GENLIB_GET_REF_X : 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_GET_REF_X("r1", "a_0", ALU2, 2, NORTH);
	/∗ Save that on disk ∗/
	GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
}
