Xschem Source Code Analysis

C and Header Files (.c, .h)

These files generally define the core functionalities and operations of the software:

  1. actions.c - Implements actions or commands the program can perform, likely as part of a GUI or backend workflow.
  2. cairo_jpg.c / cairo_jpg.h - Handles operations involving the Cairo graphics library, such as exporting images in JPG format.
  3. callback.c - Implements callback functions, possibly for GUI events or other asynchronous tasks.
  4. check.c - Likely performs validation or consistency checks on program data or input.
  5. clip.c - Handles clipboard-related functionality or geometry clipping in graphics.
  6. draw.c - Contains functions for rendering or drawing graphical elements.
  7. editprop.c - Manages editing or updating properties, possibly of graphical elements or program objects.
  8. findnet.c - Searches for or manipulates network connections, likely in a circuit design context.
  9. globals.c - Defines global variables or functions used across the program.
  10. hash_iterator.c - Implements hash table iteration for data management.
  11. hilight.c - Manages highlighting of objects, likely for a GUI or visualization.
  12. icon.c - Handles icons or small graphical elements.
  13. in_memory_undo.c - Implements an undo/redo stack that operates in memory.
  14. main.c - Entry point for the application.
  15. move.c - Implements functionality for moving objects or components.
  16. netlist.c - Handles netlist generation or manipulation for circuits.
  17. node_hash.c - Manages a hash-based data structure for nodes.
  18. options.c - Manages program options or configuration settings.
  19. paste.c - Handles pasting operations, possibly for GUI or data elements.
  20. psprint.c - Implements PostScript printing functionality.
  21. rawtovcd.c - Converts raw data formats to VCD (Value Change Dump), used in simulation.
  22. save.c - Handles saving operations for program data or projects.
  23. scheduler.c - Implements task scheduling within the application.
  24. select.c - Manages selection operations, likely for GUI elements or objects.
  25. spice_netlist.c - Generates or processes SPICE netlists for circuit simulation.
  26. store.c - Implements data storage or persistence mechanisms.
  27. svgdraw.c - Handles SVG-based graphics rendering.
  28. tedax_netlist.c - Likely associated with netlist processing using the TEDAX methodology.
  29. token.c - Implements token parsing or management, possibly for input processing.
  30. verilog_netlist.c - Handles Verilog netlist generation or parsing.
  31. vhdl_netlist.c - Manages VHDL netlist creation or manipulation.
  32. xinit.c - Initializes the X11 environment or graphics.

TCL Scripts (.tcl)

TCL scripts automate tasks or configure GUI components:

  1. add_custom_button.tcl - Adds a custom button to the application GUI.
  2. add_custom_menu.tcl - Creates custom menu options.
  3. change_index.tcl - Alters indices for GUI or data structures.
  4. create_graph.tcl - Automates graph creation, possibly for visualizations.
  5. hspice_backannotate.tcl - Handles back-annotation for HSPICE simulations.
  6. mouse_bindings.tcl - Defines mouse interaction bindings for the GUI.
  7. ngspice_backannotate.tcl - Handles back-annotation for NGSPICE simulations.
  8. place_pins.tcl - Automates pin placement in schematics.
  9. resources.tcl - Defines resources or configurations for TCL scripts.
  10. traversal.tcl - Implements traversal operations for a data structure or visual element.
  11. xschem.tcl - Likely initializes the Xschem application.

AWK Scripts (.awk)

AWK scripts handle text and data processing tasks:

  1. break.awk - Splits data into smaller components.
  2. convert_to_verilog2001.awk - Converts netlists to Verilog 2001 standard.
  3. create_alloc_ids.awk - Generates unique allocation IDs.

Who Needs Cadence Anymore (for Schematic Tree Reporting that is :)? Make Your Own Reporter with chatGPT!

You know what I mean, if you've used Cadence - the SHIFT-T thing that gives you the schematic tree can be VERY useful, at times. No Cade...
