called from an XSPICE code model's INIT call and has three effects:
the instance is treated as "hybrid" even when it does not use both
port types; its position in the hybrids array is adusted; and it
is explicitly notifed when called just befoore the end of an
analog time-step.
loading and parsing.
If set, it removes quoting tokens for params. This requires
that Skywater PDK does adequately stick to the ngspice syntax
to put params in between braces. As far as tests go, it does.
It also set the number of nodes for MSO devices to 4, so no lengthy
search is required.
KLU is selected by 'option klu'
If both 'option klu' and 'option sparse' are given,
the last one executed determines the solver.
'option sparse=0' de-selects spares, i.e. selects klu.
'option klu=0' de-selects klu, selects sparse.
'option klu=1' has the same meaning as 'option klu'.
'option sparse=1' has the same meaning as 'option sparse'.
linked model list modtab. The time used here grows approx.
quadratically with the number of models. If the numbers get large,
e.g. with the IHP Open PDK, setup time make simulation impractical.
Therefore the linked list modtab has been enhanced by a hash table
modtabhash, which allows linear search time and makes simulation
of a 200k transistor circuit with IHP PDK possible. Already
the setup time for 15k transistor circuits has been reduced.
That makes it possible to push ngspice into the background while
plot windows are open: the windows remain responsive.

Also restore terminal state when forcing exit with SIGINT (control-C).
that gives the location of the ngspice installation. That allows
binaries to be installed in a different directory to the one
compiled in. The spinit startup file is made location-independent
by passing a variable giving the location of loadable modules,
so this fixes Bug #615 -
"spinit contains arch dependent paths, but is installed as noarch DATA".
Let vec1 = cvector(50)
will generate a complex vector, with the real part values
increasing from 0 to 49, the imaginary values are set to 0.
Useful in ac loops to store result data.
Coded according to acan., AC analysis
MIF_NOI is not yet supported by any code model, so
MIF_AC is used (code models behave like in ac mode,
they are noiseless.
