NAME
smoke - static circuit checks
SYNOPSIS
cda/smoke [ -l load ] [ -abcmnpsxL ] files
DESCRIPTION
Smoke reads and checks a circuit and reports simple errors
like typechecking in C.
The circuit description language is cdl(10.6). The files are
usually a circuit description file(s) made with gnet(10.1)
and/or cdmglob(10.1) and the pins files with .tt lines like
those given to cdmglob(10.1). Files with net lists come
first, pins files come second.
The .tt line contains one character per pin on the chip
according to the following table:
1 open collector output
2 totem pole ttl output
3 3-state output
i input
p pull-up (for 1)
0 1 and p
4 3 and i
5 1 and i
6 1 and p and i
j p and i
k d and i
9 voltage source
v vcc sink (.vb 1)
w .vb 2 sink
x .vb 3 sink
y .vb 4 sink
z .vb 5 sink
g ground
n no connect (use as tie point prohibited)
8 analog output
a analog input
A analog input/output pin
s switch contact
t terminator
b PAL undeclared pin
I current source (not supported)
J current sink (not supported)
D + driver
d - driver
R + receiver
r - receiver

The various options for smoke are
-a Don't print out errors on analog nets.
-b Don't print out errors on nets with bidirectional
pins.
-c Print out the entire circuit with type declarations
by each pin (but does not do any checking.
-l takes an optional loading count; only nets with more
loads will be flagged for load complaints.
-m Don't complain about lone pins on macro signals.
-n Turn on `complete' nets; when errors occur, nets will
be completely printed out (when used with -x).
-p Turn on paranoid mode; smoke normally doesn't com-
plain if there are any undeclared pins in a net. Now
it will.
-s Ignore multiple source messages. Not recommended for
general use.
-x Turn on extra (excessive) mode. Offending nets will
be printed out in gory detail; very useful for debug-
ging the nets it complains about.
-L Ignore lonely pins with names beginning with $ (local
names).
BUGS
In smoke, the last definition of the chip is the one that
counts.
