Problem Title:

2.1is3, HP-UX - ngdbuild core dump/crash when reading ngo file during translate (abnormally terminated)



Problem Description:
urgency: standard

problem description:

when impementing a design on HP-UX, design causes ngdbuild to
core dump with out warning. In the log file, it may say that program
terminated abnormally.


Solution 1:

The problem could be caused by missing the quotation mark and semi-colon
combination (";) at the end of a line in the ucf file.

For example, if the UCF file has a line like the following, it will mostlikely crash:

NET "crash/this" LOC="P31
                 ^^ missing '";'


changing the above constraint to :

NET "crash/this" LOC="P31";

will fix the problem.
