Hi, John,

In Synopsys, when IPO is done with the reoptimize_design -in_place, if the
following variable is set to a file name, the command will output a list of 
design modifications/additions to the file.  The commands will use the file 
to store the list of those cells which changed and those cells and nets which
were added.  Even the command compile -in_place uses this variable to store
the changes in a file.

The variable is :

       reoptimize_design_changed_list_file_name = swap.cells.log

I hope this helps!!!
