Access elements of symbol in skill

Sandeep4386 over 12 years ago

corModelSpec = (("/home/bin/toplevel.scs" "top_sf"))

corModelSpec is of a type symbol. How can I access only second string out from this, so that my output will be top_sf.

I tried rindex but it doesn't quite give the desired output.

param_value=rindex(strcat(corModelSpec) "t") ;

println(param_value)

Output: "top_sf\"))"

I would like to get rid of brackets and double quotes from the output. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Andrew,
First let me give a little bit of background about the code. I have a verilogA code which writes data to a file. I use $fopen to name and open the file and $fstrobe for writing to a file. I am running sim with multiple corners and this file is generated for every corner and has extension _dat. I'm trying to figure out the way such that I can rename these files with respective corner names and design variables swept while generating the file. Below skill code will copy these files to a different directory and rename it with useful information:

session = (axlGetWindowSession)
histName = (axlGetHistoryName (axlGetCurrentHistory session ))
rdb = (axlReadHistoryResDB histName)
points = rdb->points()

printf("History %s\n" histName)

(foreach p points
printf("Design Point ID %d\n" p->id)
(foreach corner (p->corners())

printf("\tCorner %s" corner->name)
sprintf(corner_name "%s" corner->name)
i=0

(foreach cparam corner->params()

(printf "\t\t %s = %L\n" cparam->name cparam->value)
cparam_name=sprintf(nil "%s" cparam->name)
Type=type(cparam->value)
printf("%s type is %s \n" cparam_name Type)

when(i==0
cparam_total_new=""
)
i++
if(cparam_name!="corModelSpec" then
sprintf(cparam_total_new strcat(cparam_total_new "_" cparam_name cparam_value))
else
cparam_value_modelfile=cadar(cparam->value)
)
)

(foreach test (setof x p->tests() (equal x->cornerName corner->name))

printf("\tTest %s\n" test->name)
sprintf(testName "%s" test->name)
printf("\tResults dir %s\n\n" test->resultsDir)

;axlsession=axlGetWindowSession()
;sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(axlsession)
;test = axlGetTest(sdb testName)
;toolargs = axlGetTestToolArgs(test)
;lib = cadr(assoc("lib" toolargs))
;cell = cadr(assoc("cell" toolargs))
;view = cadr(assoc("view" toolargs))

sprintf(resultsDir "%s" test->resultsDir)
sprintf(command "mkdir -p /scratch/$USER/%s" "dat_file_dir")
system(command)
sprintf(copyDirName "/scratch/$USER/%s/%s_%s_%s_dat" "dat_file_dir" corner_name cparam_value_modelfile cparam_total_new )
sprintf(origDirName "%s/netlist" resultsDir)
sprintf(command "cp %s/*_dat %s" origDirName copyDirName)
println(command)
system(command)
)
)
)

Now I have following issues with this code:
1. It renames the file with all design variables specified in adexl, irrespective of they are being swept or not. How can I access the variables which are being swept and ignore the ones which are same throught the simulation?
2.While moving this file to different directory, I am using directory name as /scratch/$USER/dat_file_dir, however I would like to use cellname instead of dat_file_dir here. I used following lines of code (commented out in above code) but it give me below error when I replace 'dat_file_dir' by 'cell'.

;axlsession=axlGetWindowSession()
;sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(axlsession)
;test = axlGetTest(sdb testName)
;toolargs = axlGetTestToolArgs(test)
;lib = cadr(assoc("lib" toolargs))
;cell = cadr(assoc("cell" toolargs))
;view = cadr(assoc("view" toolargs)
*Error* get/getq: first arg must be either symbol, list, defstruct or user type - 1005
Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Sandeep
