/* header file for shared ngspice */ /* Copyright 2021-2024 Holger Vogt */ /* Modified BSD license */ /* Interface between a calling program (caller) and ngspice.dll (ngspice.so) ** ngSpice_nospinit(void) Set variable no_spinit, if reading the initialization file 'spinit' is not wanted. To be called before ngSpice_Init() ** ngSpice_Init(SendChar*, SendStat*, ControlledExit*, SendData*, SendInitData*, BGThreadRunning*, void*) After caller has loaded ngspice.dll, the simulator has to be initialized by calling ngSpice_Init(). Address pointers of several callback functions defined in the caller are sent to ngspice.dll. Callback funtion typedefs SendChar typedef of callback function for reading printf, fprintf, fputs SendStat typedef of callback function for reading status string and percent value ControlledExit typedef of callback function for tranferring a signal upon ngspice controlled_exit to caller. May be used by caller to detach ngspice.dll. SendData typedef of callback function for sending an array of structs containing data values of all vectors in the current plot (simulation output) SendInitData typedef of callback function for sending an array of structs containing info on all vectors in the current plot (immediately before simulation starts) BGThreadRunning typedef of callback function for sending a boolean signal (true if thread is running) The void pointer may contain the object address of the calling function ('self' or 'this' pointer), so that the answer may be directed to a calling object. Callback functions are defined in the global section. ** ngSpice_Command(char*) Send a valid command (see the control or interactive commands) from caller to ngspice.dll. Will be executed immediately (as if in interactive mode). Some commands are rejected (e.g. 'plot', because there is no graphics interface). Command 'quit' will remove internal data, and then send a notice to caller via ngexit(). ** ngGet_Vec_Info(char*) receives the name of a vector (may be in the form 'vectorname' or .vectorname) and returns a pointer to a vector_info struct. The caller may then directly assess the vector data (but probably should not modify them). ***************** If XSPICE is enabled ************************************* ** ngCM_Input_Path(const char*) Set the input path for files loaded by code models like d_state, file_source, d_source. Useful when netlist is sent by ngSpice_Circ and therefore Infile_Path cannot be retrieved automatically. If NULL is sent, return the current Infile_Path. ** ngGet_Evt_NodeInfo(char*) receives the name of a event node vector (may be in the form 'vectorname' or .vectorname) and returns a pointer to a evt_node_info struct. The caller may then directly assess the vector data. ** char** ngSpice_AllEvtNodes(void); returns to the caller a pointer to an array of all event node names. **************************************************************************** ** ngSpice_Circ(char**) sends an array of null-terminated char* to ngspice.dll. Each char* contains a single line of a circuit (each line like in an input file **.sp). The last entry to char** has to be NULL. Upon receiving the arry, ngspice.dll will immediately parse the input and set up the circuit structure (as if received the circuit from a file by the 'source' command. ** char* ngSpice_CurPlot(); returns to the caller a pointer to the name of the current plot ** char** ngSpice_AllPlots() returns to the caller a pointer to an array of all plots (by their typename) ** char** ngSpice_AllVecs(char*); returns to the caller a pointer to an array of vector names in the plot named by the string in the argument. ** int ngSpice_LockRealloc(void) int ngSpice_UnlockRealloc(void) Locking and unlocking the realloc of output vectors during simulation. May be set during reading output vectors in the primary thread, while the simulation in the background thread is moving on. ** Additional basics: No memory mallocing and freeing across the interface: Memory allocated in ngspice.dll has to be freed in ngspice.dll. Memory allocated in the calling program has to be freed only there. ngspice.dll should never call exit() directly, but handle either the 'quit' request to the caller or an request for exiting upon error, done by callback function ngexit(). All boolean signals (NG_BOOL) are of type _Bool, if ngspice is compiled. They are of type bool if sharedspice.h is used externally. */ #ifndef NGSPICE_PACKAGE_VERSION #define NGSPICE_PACKAGE_VERSION "43+" #endif /* we have NG_BOOL instead of BOOL */ #ifndef HAS_NG_BOOL #define HAS_NG_BOOL 1 #endif #ifndef NGSPICE_DLL_H #define NGSPICE_DLL_H #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif #if defined(__MINGW32__) || defined(_MSC_VER) || defined(__CYGWIN__) #ifdef SHARED_MODULE #define IMPEXP __declspec(dllexport) #else #define IMPEXP __declspec(dllimport) #endif #else /* use with gcc flag -fvisibility=hidden */ #if __GNUC__ >= 4 #define IMPEXP __attribute__ ((visibility ("default"))) #define IMPEXPLOCAL __attribute__ ((visibility ("hidden"))) #else #define IMPEXP #define IMPEXP_LOCAL #endif #endif /* required only if header is used by the caller, is already defined in ngspice.dll */ #ifndef ngspice_NGSPICE_H /* Complex numbers. */ struct ngcomplex { double cx_real; double cx_imag; } ; typedef struct ngcomplex ngcomplex_t; #endif /* NG_BOOL is the boolean variable at the ngspice interface.
