NAME

6       lofigchain - creates a netlist in terms of connectors on signals
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include "mlo.h"
10       void lofigchain(ptfig)
11       lofig_list ∗ptfig;
12

PARAMETER

14       ptfig               Pointer to a lofig_list
15

DESCRIPTION

17       The  lofigchain function creates the dual representation of natural mbk
18       netlists. In mbk, netlists are described in terms of signal attached to
19       connectors.   With lofigchain, one can have the dual sight : connectors
20       attached to signals.  This can be very useful, depending on the  appli‐
21       cation, but it's also memory consuming on big netlists, since two views
22       of the same thing are present in memory at the same time.
23
24       The information resulting of a call to lofigchain  is  present  in  the
25       USER   field   of   all  signals  of  the  figure,  accessible  through
26       ptfig->LOSIG. The USER field has a ptype typed LOFIGCHAIN, that  points
27       on  a chain_list whose DATA points on each locon being connected to the
28       given signal.

ERROR

31       "∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ lofigchain impossible : figure ptfig->NAME is inter‐
32       face only"
33              In  order  to  be  valid,  the  netlist  resulting  of a call to
34              lofigchain must be done on a figure entirely loaded in ram.  See
35              getlofig for details.

EXAMPLE

38       #include "mut.h"
39       #include "mlo.h"
40       void print_netlist(p)
41       lofig_list ∗p;
42       {
43       losig_list ∗s;
44       chain_list ∗c;
45          lofigchain(p);
46          for (s = p->LOSIG; s; s = s->NEXT){
47             (void)fprintf(stdout, "signal : index = %ld name = %s\n",
48                   s->INDEX, getsigname(s));
49             c = (chain_list ∗)(getptype(s->USER, (long)LOFIGCHAIN)->DATA);
50             while (c) {
51                fprintf(stdout, "conname : %s\n",
52                   (locon_list ∗)(c->DATA)->NAME);
53                c = c->NEXT;
54             }
55          }
56       }
