liberty-db

Highlight Features

• Support all liberty attributes with typed datastructure, rather than syntax tree (AST) only, in the definition of Liberty Version R-2020.09, September 2020
• Support liberty boolean expression syntax, employ binary decesion diagram (BDD) to identify (hashing)
• Parser & formatter are implemented by static macros, providing a decent preformance and tiny ~3MB parser & formatter binary. See benchmark summary
• Support generics user-defined context for library, cell, and more.
• Support define define_group user-defined attributes
• Verified with library-complier, well defined document, and examples provided

Usage

This library is implemented in Rust, with document.

[dependencies]
liberty_db = "0.8"

One basic demo here:

use liberty_db::{DefaultCtx, Library};
use std::{
  fs::File,
  io::{BufWriter, Write},
};
static TEMPLATE: &str = r#"
library(demo) {
  time_unit : "1ps";
  voltage_unit : "10mV";
  current_unit : "1uA";
  operating_conditions ( typical ) {
      process : 1;
      voltage : 1.1;
  }
  lu_table_template(delay_template_4x5) {
    variable_1 : total_output_net_capacitance;
    variable_2 : input_net_transition;
    index_1 ("1000.0, 1001.0, 1002.0, 1003.0");
    index_2 ("1000.0, 1001.0, 1002.0, 1003.0, 1004.0");
  }
  cell (DFF) {
    pin (D) {}
    pin (CK) {}
    pin (Q) {}
  }
}"#;
fn main(){
  let mut library = Library::<DefaultCtx>::parse_lib(TEMPLATE).unwrap();
  // modify library
  library.cell.get_mut("DFF").map(|cell_dff| {
    cell_dff
      .pin
      .get_mut("CK".into())
      .map(|pin_ck| pin_ck.clock = Some(true))
  });
  // print library
  println!("{library}");
  // write library
  let out_file = File::create("demo.lib").unwrap();
  let mut writer = BufWriter::new(out_file);
  write!(&mut writer, "{}", library).unwrap();
}

TODO

• CI:

  • only do comparsion after tag new version
  • fast regression self in build.yml

• Other:

  • BDD use ArcStr
  • Linked Group
  • like IndexMap, only sort once and store
  • bitcode support

• Reconstruction:

  • parser to GroupBuilder, e.g., use Vec to store GroupSet, no comment attribute
  • build/link GroupBuilder to Group, providing parent's scope, e.g.
    • all Pin name set to build BDD
    • supper group like timing::TimingTableLookUp
    • check all rules

• Parse:

  • Only Vec<NotNan<f64>> and Value complex attributes need quotes vector, use fast_float2::parse_partial
  • Fix error when make_golden
    • intrinsic_parasitic group
    • leakage_current group
    • dynamic_current group
  • async
  • stream input

• Finished

  • user define
  • remove GroupWapper, ComplexWapper, SimpleWapper. At leaset remove it in parser and formatter
  • fix missing newline at endding
  • recursive parse boolean expression
  • macros
  • format to liberty
  • support multi-line \
  • support comment
  • Use MutSet to store GroupMap
