check instance binding layout Vs Schematic

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)

I have following instances in my design:

Bound M0 - MOS transistor from Foundry lib
Bound M1 - MOS transistor from Foundry lib
UnBound I0 
UnBound I1
Bound PIN0 - VDD pin from analog lib
Bound PIN1 - gnd pin from analog lib

output from bindings=lxRunCmdInXL(cv 'MyGetAllBindings):

((((db:0x5f13c59a 0 0 0)))
(((db:0x5f13c59b 0 0 0))) nil nil
((db:0x5f13129a))
((db:0x5f13129b))
)

I suppose the two 'nil' in the output indicate the unbound instances I0/I1?

(db:0x5f13c59a 0 0 0)  and (db:0x5f13c59b 0 0 0)) - indicates M0/M1

and

(db:0x5f13129a) and db:(0x5f13129b) - indicates PIN1/PIN0

So why are differences between MOS (db object and 2 '0') and PIN with only db objects?

Because if I extend your procedure with:

foreach(mapcar insts lcv~>instances
totalInsts = totalInsts+1
boundUnbound = 0
if(bndGetBoundObjects(insts) then
listGbound = cons(insts listGbound)
printf("Bound Inst %s \n" insts~>name)
printf("Bound Schem Inst %s \n" caaar(bndGetBoundObjects(insts))~>name)
else
listUbound = cons(insts listUbound)
printf("Unbound Inst %s \n" insts~>name)
); if
) ;foreach

I get the following error message:

Bound M0
Bound M1
UnBound I0
UnBound I1
*Error* car: Can't take car of atom - db:0x5f13129a

Any idea how to solve this?

thanks!

Not sure which direction you're going in, but using bndGetBoundObjects on a schematic pin will give the corresponding layout terminal and vice versa. These are not returned as a list in the same way because they don't need to have either a hierarchical path nor would they need the array indices that you get with instances. Your code has caaar(bndGetBoundObjects(insts))~>name) which assumes that has the list structure for an instance.

The documentation seems to not mention this - it probably should... (I've fed that back to tech pubs).
