Introduction

DEF together with LEF is a common file format in VLSI physical design. Generally LEF/DEF formats are quit complicated due to the complex cases in chip design. This parser is adjusted from the open source LEF parser released by Cadence Design Systems with C++ wrappers. The original parsers lie in the Thirdparty package. Users have to follow the LICENSE agreement from the original release. The parser does not contain full API of the original LEF/DEF parsers, but it is tested under various academic benchmarks for VLSI placement.
