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 Andrew

    Thank you for the clearance.

    For "printstruct" function, the problem we met is that it does not release the license when the command has been executed. So I easily consume all the "skillide" license when running the code several times.

    We have contacted Cadence Support, but it ends nowhere. In the end, I have removed the "printstruct" function from my code.

    During the investigation of why I consume all the "skillide" license, our IT support engineer asked me to check whether the debugger is on. That's why I have some memory which links the "printstruct" with skillDebugger.


    And it brings my attention, when I see the "installDebugger(t)" suggest to be added into the .cdsinit file without proper method to uninstall the debugger.

    Best Regards
