Detailed Description

Used to implement external object referencing.

The Extern interface is used by objects to create placeholders for objects that could not be found by the Linker. In itself, the class is pretty simple and uses a single boolean inSource to indicate whether an object is a real object or a place holder. Simplistically, extern objects are used to represent libraries, cells, views and ports declared using the EDIF (extern ...) syntax. However, in case of multifile parsing, the Linker will try to remove externs from the design hierarchy with newly discovered items.
