I'm trying to turn on OpenROAD global placer debug prints by setting the debug level (adding `set_debug_level GPL replace 4` to scripts/openroad/replace.tcl in OpenLANE). I know the command gets called before the placer is run, but I don't see any debug prints anywhere. I don't think it's possible to build OpenROAD with debug prints somehow disabled. Any ideas?

Just checked, the OpenRoad version in the OpenLane docker I'm using also has the debug prints that I'd like to print

Figured it out, there was a sneaky `log_-&gt;setDebugLevel(GPL, "replace", verbose_);` in the version that's present in my OpenLane docker, which was enabled with a `-verbose_level` TCL flag. It has since been removed, which is good.

That was transitional a long time ago.  Your docker version must be quite old so I suggest an update

What is Linen?
