SKILL commands aren't described in alphabetical order, and it's not
easy to guess which of the many books a given command will be in!
Usually you look at the index of a book (which you must get to
by going to the end of the TOC and then clicking on "index"),
then find out the page ... snip ...

It seems that the whole process would be much improved if there were
... a global cross-index that covers all manuals, both in electronic
and in print, would be a real boon.

Even if CDN had this, what they really need IN ADDITION to the
fancy documentation is a quick & dirty text-based description of a
command -- the arg list, the return value, & a sentence or two to
describe that SKILL function does.

In the meantime, I use "listFunctions()" to get a list of plausible
function names, then I grab a few physical SKILL books and then
look 'em up.

I happened across this old post as I was googling for references on
learning how to program in SKILL.

The good news is that all what Thomas kindly asked for above has been
accomplished (and much more) by Cadence over the decade that occurred
between this posting in 1992 and today in Virtuoso DFII.

For example, there is a SKILL FINDER GUI (comes with product 900 SKILL
Development Environment) which provides short-form online documentation
for every DFII public SKILL function (all 5000 of them). It uses
regular expressions, so, an asterisk will list all functions in
alphabetical order. The short-form documentation is basically the
long-format documentation with everything after the first carriage
return omitted.

This short-form documentation (aka SKILL FINDER GUI) provides all that
Thomas asked for, and much more. There's even the handy printed desktop
reference Thomas pined for which is now available to anyone who has
product 900 SKILL Development Environment on maintenance (contact your
sales team).

Even the venerable listFunctions command has been vastly improved in
that it now lists every SKILL function which is public and currently
callable including your own self-defined functions. Companies can even
request SKILL Quick Reference documents which contain JUST the SKILL
functions they use (e.g., those they defined for certain design kits).

Just FYI ... we care about and listen to our designer friends ...

Since I don't have the derivation for hv_ng0 or nwtrms, I can only
speculate.

The rule you likely want to use is "ovlp". The rule "width" only takes
facing edges from a
single input polygon. ovlp takes facing edges of different polygons.
What the rule implies is that you want specific edges of this polygon.


It may be ok just to replace width with ovlp but ...
IFF (i.e. if and only if ) the structures are well formed (i.e. non-related
internal active gate
edges cannot see each other, then a simple ovlp check will work.
(If not you may need to tweek with opp ... ugly)

YMMV ... Gerry

Hello,

usually I try to solve Cadence problems with groups.google.com or with
sourcelink.cadence.com, but I haven't found anything about this:

Cadence 5.0.32.57 is running on a Ultra-250 with Solaris 5.8. We are use
a design kit from XFAB. If I start a DRC I get the following message:

error: Drc allows only one input layer for 'width' check.
2050. drc(geomGetEdge(hv_ng0 butting ndiff) geomGetEdge(hv_ng0
butting nwtrms) (width < 4.0) " W6P1 : Minimum GATE length = 4.0 ")
Errors exist in the rules file ".../TECH_XB06/divaDRC.rul".

If I manually delete the "geomGetEdge(hv_ng0 butting nwtrms)" part of
rules file, the DRC runs without an error message. At first, this looks
like a design kit problem rather than a Cadence problem. But exactly the
same rules file works without problems together with an older Cadence
version (Cadence 4.4.6.100.66m on Solaris 5.7)

If I try to generate the extracted view from a layout I get the
following message:

*WARNING* Errors exist in rules file so this program cannot continue.

There is no hint what errors exist. Since the divaDRC.rul has exactly
the same content then divaEXT.rul, I also deleted "geomGetEdge(hv_ng0
butting nwtrms)", but this has no effect.

Is there solution or a workaround for this problem?

Best regards,
Michael.

Hi Michael,

in 4.4.6. you did not get the error message because the second geomGetEdge was
just ignored without a complain from the software. This changed with newer
releases (latest 4.4.6 too). Now it's complaining, like you would expect from
the tool if the rule is wrong.
I know XFAB is aware of it and changed the ruleset. Just ask them for a kit
working with 5.0.

If you want to fix it yourself, put a "geomOr" around the two "geomGetEdge"
commands.

Most design kits from foundries are bound to software releases. So before
upgrading the release you should speak with the foundry about the kit.

Regards,
Marc

A bit experimenting with datasets on the CIW command line show me that I
have wrong hierarchy delimiters in my current datasets. The command line
simulation have . as hierarchy delimiter, but the data that
calculator wants to see use the / as a delimiter. I see this with the
openResults, selectResults and outputs ocean commands.

Somehow I need to tell my simulator that I need the / instead of the .

I have a little macro which uses a private function to do this, and also
discovered that there is already a private function which is pretty close.

One of my colleagues filed this enhancement PCR:

Title: need to get methods from a generic function

When you say "enumerate" what do you mean? Do you mean that you want to find
the names of the classes which have methods for the specified generic
function?

Also, what do you want this for? Good practical reasons always help influence
the likelihood of this being implemented. That said, the implementation is
mainly a case of providing a public wrapper or alias for the internal function
(it is not named appropriately for a public function), and the documentation
effort.

Regards,

Andrew.

The hierarchy delimiter is governed by the presence of the map/amap
directories. The idea is that any name in OCEAN which is of the form
"/I1/I2/M0" is a _schematic_ name (i.e. any name which begins with a /).
whereas "I1.I2.M0" is using the spectre hierarchy delimiter, and hence is
referring to the _netlist_ name. Sometimes due to mapping, they are not the
same.
Click to expand...
Does some of the mapping get stored inside a cadence database or are all
information needed to map inside the schematic/netlist directory? I am
seeing some problem with probing extracted views, specially rc-extracted
where assura rcx add extra nodes for serial resistances.

So getmethod() will become public ?
Click to expand...
That's the idea. It's not been committed to yet though - but I can't see any
major problems in this case.

What about variable ? Is there a way to request, for instance, that
oblist becomes public ?
Click to expand...
I think that's fairly unlikely, as it could limit our ability to change low
level implementation details. Also, it's questionable as to what you'd use
this for (legitimately).

Thank you very much, but I didn't mean that you should do the work for

Please request this functionality also so that you can share states
with others that you named correctly.

I need some additional information on this, Erik. What do you mean by
'others'; other engineers, other cells? States are normally saved in
..artist_states (why on earth is such an important directory dotted
invisible?) and is basically reachable by all. If you meant something
else, I need more info.

Do I understand you correctly if I assume that Cadence is working on a
more user friendly dialog to save states?
