check instance binding layout Vs Schematic

jaapvds

I would like to check per instance the binding (XL compliancy) between Layout and Schematic.

Function bndGetBoundObjects can be used for this purpose, like:

foreach(insts cvId~>instaces

   bndGetBoundObjects(insts)

....

However this must be ran in XL mode

To overcome this, function lxRunCmdInXL should be used, however when using:

foreach(insts cvId~>instaces

  lxRunCmdInXL(cvId  'bndGetBoundObjects insts) 

....

I get the error: *Error* lxRunCmdInXL: extra arguments or keyword missing - ((db:0x5d0ef89a db:0x5d0ef89b))

What extra argument must be added?

Thanks!

  • Two issues:

    1. You need to pass the argument list to lxRunCmdInXL with ?cmdArgs (which needs to be a list)
    2. The function always gets passed the layout and schematic cellView ids. 

    You could do:

    procedure(MyWrapBndGetBoundObjects(_d1 d2 instId)
      bndGetBoundObjects(instId)
    )
    bindings=foreach(mapcar inst cv~>instances lxRunCmdInXL(cv  'MyWrapBndGetBoundObjects ?cmdArgs list(inst)))

    However, it is probably best to just to "run in XL" once (this will be much quicker, as XL only gets initialised a single time):

    procedure(MyGetAllBindings(lcv _scv)
      foreach(mapcar inst lcv~>instances bndGetBoundObjects(inst))
    )
    bindings=lxRunCmdInXL(cv 'MyGetAllBindings)
