Location of skill function definition

frankliu

Given a particular function, say foo(), I would like to know where it is defined.

There is a long list of .il functions that are loaded during initialization of virtuoso, so I am looking for a function that

1) returns the file path where the foo() was defined

2) in case of multiple definitions in different files, give the order they are loaded/overwritten

Notes:

I looked a couple of options such as whereIs(foo), error: cannot get source information (installed debugger)

startFinder(?funcName "foo"),  error: trouble connecting to cdsFinder

  • Hi Frankliu

    Just one more thing to mention, regarding the license issue.

    Not to forget uninstall the debugger, otherwise it would always hold "Cadence(R) SKILL Development Environment" license.

    I did experience once, when I use "printstruct" function, somehow it turns on the debugger, finally I consumed all the licenses inside company.

    It would block some other activities from my colleague.

    You need to pay special attention, if you add "installDebugger(t)", in your .cdsinit file.

    By doing so, every Cadence you have opened, would consume 1 license.

    And this kind of license is usually not much for one company, as most of time this license would be used for short time (several seconds)

    Best Regards
