skip=cut inst=[...] statements being ignored

wignesb

The following skip statement (included via "definitions file") works fine :-

       myScopedOpts options skip=cut inst=[i10.i0*] 

But it does not work when I try to use this:-

     myScopedOpts options skip=cut inst=[i10.i0\<3\> i10.i0\<2\>]         

I get the following warning message in the spectre.out file:-

Warning from spectre during hierarchy flattening.
WARNING (SFE-465): Can not find local option scope `i10.i0<2>' of options statement(options ignored).
WARNING (SFE-465): Can not find local option scope `i10.i0<3>' of options statement(options ignored).

I've also tried cutting all of them and then use skip=none for those I want included (same problem).

Any idea where I'm going wrong. 

Thank you.

    I just tried this with SPECTRE20.1 ISR11, and it works fine. I did initially get the warning you did, but that was because my instances were called I10 not i10 - the statements are case-sensitive. So check that you've actually got the case of the instance names correct (given that the default is normally for them to begin with uppercase "I" I would expect that I10.I0\<3\> would be more likely).

    If that doesn't work (given that the first approach did work, maybe your instance names really are in lowercase), please let me know which spectre sub-version you're using (it's shown at the top of the spectre log file)

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Andrew,

    i am using Version 19.1.0.641.spe.isr18. My case usage is correct. 

    I tried Version 21.1.0.156  and it works there.

    Thank you

    Ah yes, I see that too with that version. That's why it's always useful to follow the forum guidelines and mention which software versions you're using!

    Anyway, glad you're able to run using a later version.

    Regards,

    Andrew
