# fix_io_cor_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 the isolated substrate layer
# (GDS layer 23:5) to the ESD_CLAMP_COR cell, which is the only way to
# get the cell to be LVS-correct at that level of hierarchy.  The layer
# is simply copied down from further up in the hierarchy.  There is no
# mask change to the corner cell itself, but the change allows the corner
# cell to be read back from GDS, extract, and pass LVS.
