SKILL func to expand bus expressions?

archive
archive over 18 years ago

I was going to write my own function, but I was hoping that there was a CADENCE function that already does this:

Expand bus expressions into a list of individual signal names.

For example (from Table 2-7 VSUG):

  • base => (base)
  • (a,b),c => (a b a b c)
  • (a,b) => (a b b a b b)
  • b => (b b)
  • b => (b b b
Is there a SKILL function that makes this translation already, from string to list?  Seems like I saw one somewhere, but I cannot find it now.  :-(

I'd like to avoid reinventing the wheel.

Thanks!

    dbProduceMemName() is the function you want. It takes a string which is an expression as above, and produces a list of member signals, exactly as you're expecting.
