skill to detect ADEXL options

[Rick Mattern]

Im trying to create a skill script that will look at the ADEXL HPO
options to calculate the required tokens. Ive been able to read the
options on the HPO panel but need some help with the rest. Heres the
beginning of the code:


;; defining the PreRun function
(define (PreRun session_name sdb_highandle mode_string test_name)
(printf "Launching a new run %L %L %L %L\n" session_name
sdb_highandle mode_string test_name)


tests=axlGetTests(sdb_highandle)

jobPolicyName=axlGetAttachedJobPolicy()->name
distmethod=axlGetAttachedJobPolicy()->distributionmethod

;; traversing all the tests and changing the mt option as per
the requirement

foreach( test_name cadr(tests)
if( axlGetEnabled(axlGetTest(sdb_highandle test_name)) then
printf("test %s is enabled\n" test_name)
testSession=axlGetToolSession(session_name test_name)

println( "check MT options")


mt_opt=testSession~>simID~>data~>env~>data~>turboOpts~>data~>mtOption~>value
if(eq(strcmp(mt_opt "Manual") 0) printf(" Manual MT will
be disabled!!! \n"))
if(eq(strcmp(mt_opt "Disable") 0) printf("Disabled MT
\n"))
if(eq(strcmp(mt_opt "Auto") 0) printf(" Auto MT will be
disabled!!! \n"))
if(eq(strcmp(distmethod "Local") 0) then printf(" Turning
off the MT options for this test \n")

testSession~>simID~>data~>env~>data~>turboOpts~>data~>mtOption~>value="Disable" )

println( "check tool options")


tool_opt=testSession~>simID~>data~>env~>data~>turboOpts~>data~>uniMode~>value
if(eq(strcmp(tool_opt "Spectre") 0) printf(" This is a Spectre
run \n"))
if(eq(strcmp(tool_opt "Turbo") 0) printf(" This is a Turbo
run \n"))
if(eq(strcmp(tool_opt "APS") 0) printf(" This is an APS run
\n"))

println( "check parasitic reduction option")


paraRed_opt=testSession~>simID~>data~>env~>data~>turboOpts~>data~>psrSwitch~>value
if(eq(strcmp(paraRed_opt t ) 0) printf(" parasitic reduction
enabled \n"))
if(eq(strcmp(paraRed_opt nil ) 0) printf(" parasitic reduction
disabled \n")

The first issue is that paraRed_opt is either a nil or t so strcmp
wont work, is a simular command for t/nil ?

Once I have the options gathered, I can use a series of if/thens but
is there a more elegant way to handle this like with a truth table or
increment command?

Thanks
