SKILL compiler?

ThePhoenix

Hello, I'm looking for a good compiler (to compile the SKILL code before I enter it into Cadence) that enables Compiling and Running of
SKILL code. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks very much in advance.

    But you don't use a compiler to "organise" code in any language. You use it to compile source code into object code. Since that doesn't make sense with SKILL, as I've explained, a compiler would make no sense, and so of course, there is no compiler available.

    Perhaps by "compiler" you really mean "IDE" (ie a development environment)? In IC613 and later, there is the SKILL IDE (still in its infancy, but provides a lot of interactive debugging capabilities). In terms of editor support, there's a SKILL mode for nedit, and for emacs. Probably others too.

    If this is not what you mean, you'll have to explain again why you think you need a "compiler", because it doesn't make sense to me!

    Regards,

    Andrew
