APS changes instance name

The Setlaz

Hi,

 

I'm facing kind of an issue here. I'm using Spectre-APS and noticed APS changes the instance name of iterated instances.

For example, let's say you have 4 instances in parallel, it's then called I1<3:0>. If I want to measure some OP param inside it, my OCEAN syntax would be:

pv("I1\\<2\\>.M1 "vth" ?result "dcOpInfo")

 

Problem is using APS, I1<2> gets renamed in I1<2>_turbo_m4   (note: m_N depend on the number of iterated instances...)hence, the OCEAN syntax to do the measurement has to change to:

pv("I1\\<2\\>_turbo_m4.M1 "vth" ?result "dcOpInfo")

 

Then, I can't swap APS option without changing my post-processing.

 Is there some option to disable this ?

 

I tried with ++aps enabled or disabled, it doesn't change anything.

 

Thanks,

Damien
