Remove bogus warning

Open oharboe opened this issue 7 months ago • 4 comments

Description

There is nothing the user should do in response to this warning. Either the user has parasitics, or they estimate them or they deserve the result.

[WARNING RSZ-0021] no estimated parasitics. Using wire load models.

Suggested Solution

Remove warning or alternatively add an option "-use-wire-load" to repair_timing and error if there are no parasitics.

Additional Context

No response

Perhaps just switch it to info?

Isn't this a pointless info/warning? Isn't this an intrinsic static property of floorplanning?

The code has no idea if you are doing floorplaning or something else and forgot to load/estimate parasitics.

My idea was to communicate this intention with a command line option and make it an error.

Info message is fine, easy to ignore.

I was just checking(asking questions is a good way to find out) if the message was entirely pointless or a debug message.
