report_design_area report appears incorrect

[tajayi]

Priority: Low

Tool: Resizer

Version: 98568f2

Issue:
See design included in issue #10. After synthesis, yosys reports a standard cell area of about 1,093,866 u^2.
For 3_1_place_gp.def, Innovus reports the standard cell area around 1,107,485 um^2 but resizer reports about 234,576 u^2.

In addition, innovus reports placement density of around 24% whereas resizer returns a 9% utilization.
Placement density is the total area of standard cells divided by the size of the placeable area (unused standard cell sites).
This takes into account macros or blockages that have reduced the placeable area

Steps to reproduce:
See design included in issue #10

I don't see the same results.
Using 66198b3 (which reports the same as 98568f2 after the compile error is fixed)
Before resizing the reported area is:

Design area 1107486 u^2 41% utilization.

Which "matches" the area reported by innovus.

It is using the DIESIZE for utilization as the default for the core size.
You can override this with the set_design_size -core command.
It probably should/could use the ROW statements in the DEF to find the placeable area
but I can't make any sense of the rows in the input DEF 3_1_placed_gp.def.
