Undocumented (?) gotcha in pcDefinePCell()

archive

In icfb 5.10.41.500.5.107, this works: procedure(makePCell(lib cell view "t") pcDefinePCell( list(ddGetObj(lib) cell view) ( (parameter_a "default value a") (parameter_b "default value b") (parameter_c "default value c") ) ; This is where I would, like, draw shapes and stuff. t ) ) Output: makePCell("myLib" "pcell" "layout") Generating Pcell for 'pcell layout'. db:219751468 But this does not work: procedure(makePCellBroken(lib cellName view "t") pcDefinePCell( list(ddGetObj(lib) cellName view) ( (parameter_a "default value a") (parameter_b "default value b") (parameter_c "default value c") ) ; This is where I would, like, draw shapes and stuff. t ) ) Output: makePCellBroken("myLib" "pcell" "layout") *WARNING* Invalid cell name - nil nil

  • Don't use keywords like libName, cellName, viewName, viewType etc. The pcDefinePCell might be using them internally and that's the reason use of such keywords might make it fail.
