Introduction

LEF together with DEF 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. It is tested under various academic benchmarks for VLSI placement.
