Problem Title:
LOGIBLOX, 4000XLA/SpartanXL Aligned RPM: Map ERROR:baste:190 or OldMap:233 - Bad format for RLOC attribute



Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General Description:

When generating a module using LOGIBLOX targeting the 4000XLA
or SpartanXL device family, if the Style is set to ALIGNED RPM for
certain functions containing carry logic, you may get an error similar to
the following during MAP:

(Error from 1.5i)
ERROR:baste:190 - Bad format for RLOC attribute on [module name] symbol "[symbol_name]".

(Error from 2.1i)
ERROR:OldMap:233 - Bad format for RLOC attribute on [module name]
symbol "[symbol_name]".


Solution 1:

Currently the only workaround is to set the style to "ALIGNED"
instead of "ALIGNED RPM".

With style set to "Aligned", no RPM is created, so
the macro cannot be RLOC'd as a complete block. However,
carry logic should still fall in place correctly.

Besides the LogiBLOX Counters, Adders, Accumulators, and some
Comparators are also affected.
