Logic injection

摘要

A technique for reducing a circuit listing. According to examples of the technique, at least a portion of a circuit listing is analyzed to identify occurrences of a circuit structure made up of a plurality of circuit components. For each identified occurrence of the defined circuit structure, an injection data object is created corresponding to the plurality of components, and the injection data object is substituted into the portion of the circuit listing in place of the plurality of components. For each occurrence of the defined structure, one or more properties of the occurrence of the defined structure may be determined and contained by the corresponding injection data object.

1. A method comprising:
identifying, with a microprocessor, one or more occurrences of a predefined structure in first and second circuit listings, wherein the predefined structure is made up of a plurality of circuit components; creating, with the microprocessor, an injection data object corresponding to each of the identified one or more occurrences of the predefined structure in the first and second circuit listings; modifying the first and second circuit listings by substituting each injection data object for each corresponding identified occurrence of the predefined structure, respectively; and comparing the modified first circuit listing with the modified second circuit listing to identify differences between the first circuit listing and the second circuit listing.
