Each architecture must implement the following types and APIs.

Architectures can either inherit from `ArchAPI<ArchRanges>`, which is a pure virtual description of the architecture API; or `BaseArch<ArchRanges>` which provides some default implementations described below.

`ArchRanges` is a `struct` of `using`s that allows arches to return custom range types. These ranges can be anything that has a `begin()` and `end()` method that return const forward iterators. This can be a `std::list<T>`, `std::vector<T>`, a (const) reference to those, or anything else that behaves in a similar way.

The contents of `ArchRanges` is as follows:

| Type                      | Range of                         |
|---------------------------|----------------------------------|
|`ArchArgsT`                | N/A (struct of device params)    |
|`AllBelsRangeT`            | `BelId`                          |
|`TileBelsRangeT`           | `BelId`                          |
|`BelAttrsRangeT`           | std::pair<IdString, std::string> |
|`BelPinsRangeT`            | `IdString`                       |
|`CellBelPinRangeT`         | `IdString`                       |
|`AllWiresRangeT`           | `WireId`                         |
|`DownhillPipRangeT`        | `PipId`                          |
|`UphillPipRangeT`          | `PipId`                          |
|`WireBelPinRangeT`         | `BelPin`                         |
|`AllPipsRangeT`            | `PipId`                          |
|`PipAttrsRangeT`           | std::pair<IdString, std::string> |
|`AllGroupsRangeT`          | `GroupId`                        |
|`GroupBelsRangeT`          | `BelId`                          |
|`GroupWiresRangeT`         | `WireId`                         |
|`GroupPipsRangeT`          | `PipId`                          |
|`GroupGroupsRangeT`        | `GroupId`                        |
|`DecalGfxRangeT`           | `GraphicElement`                 |
|`CellTypeRangeT`           | `IdString`                       |
|`BelBucketRangeT`          | `BelBucketRange`                 |
|`BucketBelRangeT`          | `BelId`                          |

The functions that return a particular type are described below. Where a default function implementation is provided, `BaseArchRanges` (which `ArchRanges` can inherit from) will set the range type appropriately.

archdefs.h
==========

The architecture-specific `archdefs.h` must define the following types.

With the exception of `ArchNetInfo` and `ArchCellInfo`, the following types should be "lightweight" enough so that passing them by value is sensible.

### delay\_t

A scalar type that is used to  represent delays. May be an integer or float type.

### BelId

A type representing a bel name. `BelId()` must construct a unique null-value. Must provide `==`, `!=`, and `<` operators and a `unsigned int hash() const` member function.

### WireId

A type representing a wire name. `WireId()` must construct a unique null-value. Must provide `==`, `!=`, and `<` operators and a `unsigned int hash() const` member function.

### PipId

A type representing a pip name. `PipId()` must construct a unique null-value. Must provide `==`, `!=`, and `<` operators and a `unsigned int hash() const` member function.

### BelBucketId

A type representing a bel bucket. `BelBucketId()` must construct a unique null-value. Must provide `==`, `!=`, and `<` operators and a `unsigned int hash() const` member function.

### GroupId

A type representing a group name. `GroupId()` must construct a unique null-value. Must provide `==` and `!=` operators and a `unsigned int hash() const` member function.

### DecalId

A type representing a reference to a graphical decal. `DecalId()` must construct a unique null-value. Must provide `==` and `!=` operators and a `unsigned int hash() const` member function.

### ClusterId

A type representing a reference to a constrained cluster of cells. `ClusterId()` must construct a unique null-value. Must provide `==` and `!=` operators and `unsigned int hash() const` member function.

### ArchNetInfo

The global `NetInfo` type derives from this one. Can be used to add arch-specific data (caches of information derived from wire attributes, bound wires and pips, and other net state). Must be declared as empty struct if unused.

### ArchCellInfo

The global `CellInfo` type derives from this one. Can be used to add arch-specific data (caches of information derived from cell attributes and parameters, bound bel, and other cell state). Must be declared as empty struct if unused.

arch.h
======

Each architecture must provide their own implementation of the `Arch` struct in `arch.h`. `Arch` must derive from `ArchAPI<ArchRanges>` or `BaseArch<ArchRanges>` (see above) and must provide the following methods:

General Methods
---------------

### Arch(ArchArgs args)

Constructor. ArchArgs is a architecture-specific type (usually a struct also defined in `arch.h`).

### std::string getChipName() const

Return a user-friendly string representation of the ArchArgs that was used to construct this object.

### ArchArgs archArgs() const

Return the `ArchArgs` used to construct this object.

### IdString archArgsToId(ArchArgs args) const

Return an internal IdString representation of the ArchArgs that was used to construct this object.

*BaseArch default: returns empty IdString*

### int getGridDimX() const

Get grid X dimension. All bels and pips must have Y coordinates in the range `0 .. getGridDimX()-1` (inclusive).

### int getGridDimY() const

Get grid Y dimension. All bels and pips must have Y coordinates in the range `0 .. getGridDimY()-1` (inclusive).

### int getTileBelDimZ(int x, int y) const

Get Z dimension for the specified tile for bels. All bels with at specified X and Y coordinates must have a Z coordinate in the range `0 .. getTileDimZ(X,Y)-1` (inclusive).

### int getTilePipDimZ(int x, int y) const

Get Z dimension for the specified tile for pips. All pips with at specified X and Y coordinates must have a Z coordinate in the range `0 .. getTileDimZ(X,Y)-1` (inclusive).

*BaseArch default: returns 1*

### char getNameDelimiter() const

Returns a delimiter that can be used to build up bel, wire and pip names out of hierarchical components (such as tiles and sites) to avoid the high memory usage of storing full names for every object.

*BaseArch default: returns ' '*

Cell Methods
-----------

### CellTypeRangeT getCellTypes() const

Get list of cell types that this architecture accepts.

*BaseArch default: returns list derived from bel types set up by `init_cell_types()`*

Bel Methods
-----------

### BelId getBelByName(IdStringList name) const

Lookup a bel by its name, which is a list of IdStrings joined by `getNameDelimiter()`.

### IdStringList getBelName(BelId bel) const

Get the name for a bel. (Bel names must be unique.)

### Loc getBelLocation(BelId bel) const

Get the X/Y/Z location of a given bel. Each bel must have a unique X/Y/Z location.

### BelId getBelByLocation(Loc loc) const

Lookup a bel by its X/Y/Z location.

### TileBelsRangeT getBelsByTile(int x, int y) const

Return a list of all bels at the give X/Y location.

### bool getBelGlobalBuf(BelId bel) const

Returns true if the given bel is a global buffer. A global buffer does not "pull in" other cells it drives to be close to the location of the global buffer.

*BaseArch default: returns false*

### uint32\_t getBelChecksum(BelId bel) const

Return a (preferably unique) number that represents this bel. This is used in design state checksum calculations.

*BaseArch default: returns `std::hash` of `BelId` cast to `uint32_t`*

### void bindBel(BelId bel, CellInfo \*cell, PlaceStrength strength)
