Warning: Net “clk is not glued to any wire”

Hi Genas,

I'm not sure that's the message exactly - I think it's more likely to be:

Warning: Name "clk" is not glued to any wire.

This can happen if a wire label is no longer attached to a wire. This can either happen due to SKILL which manipulates the database, and from looking at the code there's a possibility that it can happen when wires are merged although it's not clear to me precisely what would cause the label to become detached as it seems to do a pretty good job of identifying a wire segment to reattach to.

The warning marker should identify the corresponding label (using Check->Find Marker) and you can see the attachments using Check->Label Attachment and pick "wire" on the form. The solution is to delete the label and then use Create->Wire Name to add it again attached to the wire you want.

Regards,

Andrew.

Yes Warning: Name "clk" is not glued to any wire is the actual message.  However, I deleted the label and even attached a noconn to the net but i still get this warning. I am really surprised I thought deleting will eliminate it totally. I will appreciate if you have any possible suggestions

Thanks for the response

Hi Genas,

It suggests that there's still a floating label. Can you open the schematic, and do:

cv=geGetEditCellView()
labels=setof(lab cv~>shapes lab~>objType=="label" && lab~>theLabel="clk")

Show what that returns. Then do:

labels~>parent

and see what that returns.

A floating label was causing the error and I was able to clear the label by copying the schematic without that block. And later adding that block.

Thanks for the assistance
