# fix_stdcell_gds.py ---
#
# Special-purpose script that does the work of what ought to be a simple
# binary diff and patch.  Except that no such thing exists as a standard
# offering on most Linux systems, so instead of adding another OS
# package requirement, I'm just writing a binary search-and-replace in
# python.
#
# The purpose of the patch is to add text for the VNW and VPW well and
# substrate connections in the standard cell layouts (except for filltie
# and endcap, which connect them to VDD and VSS), using custom GDS layer:
# purpose pairs since the foundry does not define text layers for nwell
# and pwell.
#
# This script is a filter to be run by setting the name of this script as
# the value to "filter=" for the model install in the gf180mcu Makefile.
