I get a lot of these warnings when I run make gui_final
This is with the latest ORFS.
What are they?
$ make DESIGN_CONFIG=designs/asap7/mock-array-big/Element/config.mk place

@oharboe I ran with latest commit and not able to get similar logs.
maliberty
The report says 'make place' and 'make gui_final' which are not a compatible pair. I can't reproduce this either even running all the way through.

@maliberty Aha! This is a locale issue. In their wisdom a hundred years ago, Norwegians decided to use "," to separate integers from fractions in floating point... So "12.34" is not a valid float in Norwegian locale, rather "12,34" is.
The evidence that this is the problem is that setting LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" fixes the problem.
In this case, the locale is decided by the format that is being parsed, it is not a human readable/writeable number.
Let's see if this works: https://github.com/Pinata-Consulting/OpenSTA/tree/lock-down-strtof-locale
Yep :-)
This also explains why we don't see this when we run from docker, only local install.
maliberty
Brazil has the same issue. https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/blob/6920ac530b6959f742e75b7f55062b1642730b14/src/Main.cc#L217 attempts to solve this. Do none of the locales exist on your systems?
maliberty
Would you try your strtof check along with getlocale after these various points to try to see what's going on. I think this works in Brazil so I'm trying to understand what's different here. @luis201420 any insights?
maliberty
Perhaps it relates to LC_NUMERIC or another. Can you try unsetting all LC_* but LC_ALL in your environment to see if that matters?
oharboe
@maliberty @luis201420 With this change, I no longer get the warnings.
This is just a quick hack, I think it would be better if someone who knows what is going on and are aware of other edgecases articulates the pull request :-)

@luis201420 will you look at this since you can reproduce it
oharboe
I guess this has been identified as a bug in OpenROAD, given that there are frameworks that set the locale after OpenROAD has set the locale.
