Return a deep copy of this EdifCellInstance using the passed-in EdifCell as the parent. All new Objects are created using the 'new' statement, except Strings.

Parameters:

parent - The EdifCell that will contain the new EdifCellInstance

Returns:

A new EdifCellInstance Object

getAllEPRs

public java.util.Collection<EdifPortRef> getAllEPRs()

This method will determine the parent cell of an EdifCellInstance and search through the nets of this parent cell. The EdifPortRefs of those nets that connect to the given EdifCellInstance are returned in a Collection.

Returns:

A Collection of EdifPortRefs

getCellType

public EdifCell getCellType()

Return the cell that this EdifCellInstance object is referring to.

Returns:

An EdifCell Object Referring to the type of this EdifCellInstance, or the EdifCell that this EdifCellInstance is instancing

This method will determine the parent cell of this instance and search through the nets of this parent cell for that net that connects to the EdifSingleBitPort specified as the parameter. This method will return null if no net exists or if the EdifSingleBit port is not owned by the cell type of this instance.

Parameters:

esbp -

Returns:

The EdifNet object that is connected to the given EdifSingleBitPort. Returns null when there is no net connected to this port or when the port is not owned by the cellType of this instance.

getHierarchicalPrimitiveList

Returns:

A String representing what type of cell this is.

matchesWithin

public boolean matchesWithin(java.util.Collection instanceList)

Return true if the current instance matches within the passed-in collection of EdifCellInstance Objects. Equality done by doing a deep compare on the cell types of each instance, and the name of each instance.

Parameters:

newCellRef - An EdifCell Object--The cell this EdifCellInstance object will now refer to

modifyCellRef

public void modifyCellRef(EdifCell newCellRef,
                          boolean check)

Parameters:

newCellRef - An EdifCell Object--The cell this EdifCellInstance object will now refer to

check - If true, will check to see if the interfaces are equal, and if it's ok to make the switch. For speed, and if it's known that the match will succeed, use false
