NAME
loins - mbk logical instance
DESCRIPTION
The loins is used to describe an instance of the logical view of a figure.
The declarations needed to work on loins are available in the header file "/labo/include/mlo404.h", where
'404' is the actual mbk version.
The following C structure supports the description of the logical instance :
typedef struct loins {
struct loins ∗NEXT;
struct locon ∗LOCON;
char ∗INSNAME;
char ∗FIGNAME;
struct ptype ∗USER;
} loins_list;
NEXT Pointer to the next loins of the list.
INSNAME Local name of the instance. It identifies the instance at a given hierarchical level,
so it should unique. When working on both layout and netlist views of a cell,
instance names should be the same on each representation.
FIGNAME Name of the model of the instanciated cell.
LOCON Pointer to the head of the list of connectors of the instance. Consistency between
the connectors of the instance and the connectors of its model on disk is not ensured
by the parsers, because a model local to the file beeing parsed is used, not the
possible model on disk. See locon(3) for details.
USER Pointer to a ptype list, see ptype(3) for details, that is a general purpose pointer
used to share informations on the instance.
