Description: The base class for all device extractors.
This is an abstract base class for device extractors. See GenericDeviceExtractor for a generic class which you can reimplement to supply your own customized device extractor. In many cases using one of the preconfigured specific device extractors may be useful already and it's not required to implement a custom one. For an example about a preconfigured device extractor see DeviceExtractorMOS3Transistor.
This class cannot and should not be instantiated explicitly. Use one of the subclasses instead.
This class has been introduced in version 0.26.
| new DeviceExtractorBase ptr | new | Creates a new object of this class |
| void | _create | Ensures the C++ object is created | ||
| void | _destroy | Explicitly destroys the object | ||
| [const] | bool | _destroyed? | Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed | |
| [const] | bool | _is_const_object? | Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference | |
| void | _manage | Marks the object as managed by the script side. | ||
| void | _unmanage | Marks the object as no longer owned by the script side. | ||
| DeviceClass ptr | device_class | Gets the device class used during extraction | ||
| [const,iter] | NetlistDeviceExtractorLayerDefinition | each_layer_definition | Iterates over all layer definitions. | |
| [iter] | LogEntryData | each_log_entry | Iterates over all log entries collected in the device extractor.Starting with version 0.28.13, the preferred name of the method is 'each_log_entry' as log entries have been generalized to become warnings too. | |
| [const] | string | name | Gets the name of the device extractor and the device class. | |
| void | name= | (string name) | Sets the name of the device extractor and the device class. |
| void | create | Use of this method is deprecated. Use _create instead | ||
| void | destroy | Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroy instead | ||
| [const] | bool | destroyed? | Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroyed? instead | |
| [iter] | LogEntryData | each_error | Use of this method is deprecated. Use each_log_entry instead | |
| [const] | bool | is_const_object? | Use of this method is deprecated. Use _is_const_object? instead |
_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. |
create | Signature: void create Description: Ensures the C++ object is created Use of this method is deprecated. Use _create instead 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 Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroy instead 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 Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroyed? instead 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. |
device_class | Signature: DeviceClass ptr device_class Description: Gets the device class used during extraction The attribute will hold the actual device class used in the device extraction. It is valid only after 'extract_devices'. This method has been added in version 0.27.3. |
each_error | Signature: [iter] LogEntryData each_error Description: Iterates over all log entries collected in the device extractor.Starting with version 0.28.13, the preferred name of the method is 'each_log_entry' as log entries have been generalized to become warnings too. Use of this method is deprecated. Use each_log_entry instead |
each_layer_definition | Signature: [const,iter] NetlistDeviceExtractorLayerDefinition each_layer_definition Description: Iterates over all layer definitions. |
each_log_entry | Signature: [iter] LogEntryData each_log_entry Description: Iterates over all log entries collected in the device extractor.Starting with version 0.28.13, the preferred name of the method is 'each_log_entry' as log entries have been generalized to become warnings too. |
is_const_object? | Signature: [const] bool is_const_object? Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference Use of this method is deprecated. Use _is_const_object? instead This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self. |
name | Signature: [const] string name Description: Gets the name of the device extractor and the device class. Python specific notes: |
name= | Signature: void name= (string name) Description: Sets the name of the device extractor and the device class. Python specific notes: |
new | Signature: [static] new DeviceExtractorBase ptr new Description: Creates a new object of this class Python specific notes: |
