80d6e681f ("MS Windows: Get a canonical paths name: Important if path length exceeds MAX_PATH, might happen when using PDKs", 2025-04-12)
the newly introduced function get_windows_canonical_path() does not do the
right thing when the path name is only a simple file name. Then internally
used function GetFullPathNameW() then will prepend the current directory to the
file name, which may be simply wrong.
Recognise VDMOS as a special keyword only as the third token in a
.model line. A new function, skip_token(), included in the change
allows simplification of some existing code.
("Set lower case for variables or vectors in command 'echo'.
Tokens starting with '$' will get lower-casing.", 2024-09-07)
Don't use s as name for temporary string, as s has been set
already and is used later.
or partial paths from environmental variables. The env variable
names have to start with '$' as the first character after the .inc
or .lib token. Two consecutive env variables are possible. They are
read each until directory separator '/' or '\\', or if none is found,
until the end of the line. In this case the filename has to be included
in the env variable. A .lib line may look like
.lib "$ENVS1\$ENVS2/libraries\sky130_fd_pr\latest\models\sky130.lib.spice" tt
If an env variable is read successfully, a ngspice variable with
the same name (without leading '$') and contents is defined for
use in a .control section.
for loading the next .include file.
If input directory dir_name is not set when loading .include files,
set it to the first .include found.
Both instruction add to the search paths for file to be inluded
and are valuable when the netlist is sent by circbyline without
input file involved.
Add controlled_exit() to errors when parsing functions.
Add verbose error messages, including line number and
name of the source file.
.lib file handlinmg with its recursive structure probably needs
testing and improvements.
More error messages may need this update.
Add wordlist sourceinfo to store input sources
path/file, internal, etc.)
debug_out.txt adds line info (var. sourcelineinfo)
Add sourcelineinfo to wordlist sourceinfo and to each new line.
When adding lines due to compatibility handling, use existing
linenum_orig and linesource.
