API reference - Class NetlistCrossReference

Match

Signature: [static,const] NetlistCrossReference::Status Match

Description: Enum constant NetlistCrossReference::Match

An exact match exists if this code is present.

Python specific notes:
The object exposes a readable attribute 'Match'. This is the getter.

MatchWithWarning

Signature: [static,const] NetlistCrossReference::Status MatchWithWarning

Description: Enum constant NetlistCrossReference::MatchWithWarning

If this code is present, a match was found but a warning is issued. For nets, this means that the choice is ambiguous and one, unspecific candidate has been chosen. For devices, this means a device match was established, but parameters or the device class are not matching exactly.

Python specific notes:
The object exposes a readable attribute 'MatchWithWarning'. This is the getter.

Mismatch

Signature: [static,const] NetlistCrossReference::Status Mismatch

Description: Enum constant NetlistCrossReference::Mismatch

This code means there is a match candidate, but exact identity could not be confirmed.

Python specific notes:
The object exposes a readable attribute 'Mismatch'. This is the getter.

NoMatch

Signature: [static,const] NetlistCrossReference::Status NoMatch

Description: Enum constant NetlistCrossReference::NoMatch

If this code is present, no match could be found. There is also 'Mismatch' which means there is a candidate, but exact identity could not be confirmed.

Python specific notes:
The object exposes a readable attribute 'NoMatch'. This is the getter.

None

Signature: [static,const] NetlistCrossReference::Status None

Description: Enum constant NetlistCrossReference::None

No specific status is implied if this code is present.

Python specific notes:
This member is available as 'None_' in Python.
The object exposes a readable attribute 'None_'. This is the getter.

Skipped

Signature: [static,const] NetlistCrossReference::Status Skipped

Description: Enum constant NetlistCrossReference::Skipped

On circuits this code means that a match has not been attempted because subcircuits of this circuits were not matched. As circuit matching happens bottom-up, all subcircuits must match at least with respect to their pins to allow any parent circuit to be matched.

Python specific notes:
The object exposes a readable attribute 'Skipped'. This is the getter.

_const_cast

Signature: [const] NetlistCrossReference ptr _const_cast

Description: Returns a non-const reference to self.

Basically, this method allows turning a const object reference to a non-const one. This method is provided as last resort to remove the constness from an object. Usually there is a good reason for a const object reference, so using this method may have undesired side effects.

This method has been introduced in version 0.29.6.

_create

Signature: void _create

Description: Ensures the C++ object is created

Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created.

_destroy

Signature: void _destroy

Description: Explicitly destroys the object

Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing.

_destroyed?

Signature: [const] bool _destroyed?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed

This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself.

_is_const_object?

Signature: [const] bool _is_const_object?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference

This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self.

_manage

Signature: void _manage

Description: Marks the object as managed by the script side.

After calling this method on an object, the script side will be responsible for the management of the object. This method may be called if an object is returned from a C++ function and the object is known not to be owned by any C++ instance. If necessary, the script side may delete the object if the script's reference is no longer required.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

_unmanage

Signature: void _unmanage

Description: Marks the object as no longer owned by the script side.

Calling this method will make this object no longer owned by the script's memory management. Instead, the object must be managed in some other way. Usually this method may be called if it is known that some C++ object holds and manages this object. Technically speaking, this method will turn the script's reference into a weak reference. After the script engine decides to delete the reference, the object itself will still exist. If the object is not managed otherwise, memory leaks will occur.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

circuit_count

Signature: [const] unsigned long circuit_count

Description: Gets the number of circuit pairs in the cross-reference object.

each_circuit_pair

netlist_a

Signature: [const] const Netlist ptr netlist_a

Description: Gets the first netlist which participated in the compare.

This member may be nil, if the respective netlist is no longer valid.In this case, the netlist cross-reference object cannot be used.

other_circuit_for

other_device_for
