Detailed Description

Each graphical item can have a SCH_CONNECTION describing its logical connection (to a bus or net).

These are generated when netlisting, or when editing operations that can change the netlist are performed.

In hierarchical schematics, a single SCH_ITEM object can refer to multiple distinct parts of a design (in the case of a sub-sheet that is instanced more than once in a higher level sheet). Because of this, a single item may contain more than one SCH_CONNECTION – each is specific to a sheet.

Symbols contain connections for each of their pins (and for each sheet they exist on) but don't use their own connection object.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SCH_CONNECTION() [1/3]

SCH_CONNECTION::SCH_CONNECTION ( SCH_ITEM aParent = nullptr,
const SCH_SHEET_PATH aPath = SCH_SHEET_PATH() 
)

Buses can be defined in multiple ways.

A bus vector consists of a prefix and a numeric range of suffixes:

BUS_NAME[M..N]

For example, the bus A[3..0] will contain nets A3, A2, A1, and A0. The BUS_NAME is required. M and N must be integers but do not need to be in any particular order – A[0..3] produces the same result.

Like net names, bus names cannot contain whitespace.

A bus group is just a grouping of signals, separated by spaces, some of which may be bus vectors. Bus groups can have names, but do not need to.

MEMORY{A[15..0] D[7..0] RW CE OE}

In named bus groups, the net names are expanded as <BUS_NAME>.<NET_NAME> In the above example, the nets would be named like MEMORY.A15, MEMORY.D0, etc.

{USB_DP USB_DN}

In the above example, the bus is unnamed and so the underlying net names are just USB_DP and USB_DN.

For bus members, we want to keep track of the "local" name of a member, that is, the name it takes on from its parent bus name.

This is because we always want to use the local name for bus unfolding, matching within buses, etc. The actual resolved name of this bus member might change, for example if it's connected elsewhere to some other item with higher priority.
