QRC crashes at Techgen step

Zach
Zach over 13 years ago

Using Assura 4.1 and EXT9.1.4, we are seeing a Segmentation Fault from Techgen that causes QRC to crash.  We reported the problem to the fab vendor, and they replied saying they saw no problems at all and QRC completes for them.  We are both using the same versions and same rule decks.  An interesting difference was found in the two log files:

 My log
----------
*WARNING* at "Techgen -trans": The gate layer name allGate is duplicated with a
layer name defined in the process file Segmentation Fault

Their log
------------

*WARNING* at "Techgen -trans": The gate layer name allGate is duplicated with a
layer name defined in the process file (null), and therefore renamed to allGate_2.

 

The only known difference is that we are running Solaris 10 on UNIX and the fab vendor uses RH Linux.  Can anyone provide any insight into why this is happening and what can be done to fix it?  Thanks.

    This appears to be the same issue that was fixed by CCR 902399 - from the CCR history it says:

    Capgen fails when printing: *WARNING* at "Techgen -trans": The gate layer name
    allGate is duplicated with a layer name defined in the process file ??, and
    therefore renamed to allGate_2. 
    
    The "process file" name appears to be NULL. Linux compiler does substitute
    (null) in this case while Sun compiler not.

    This was fixed in version EXT10.12.055, Version: EXT_10.1.2   (which is the second update release of EXT101 on downloads.cadence.com ) - so getting either this, the later update, or hotfix version should fix this. If it doesn't, then you should file a service request with customer support and reference this post.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
