schCheckHier return Warnings

Curtisma

I am using the function schCheckHier which returns any errors found in the hierarchy as a list.  However I would also like to be able to report any warnings.  Is there a way to get it to return check warnings in a list also?  Perhaps there is another function I can use to return warnings in a list similar to the output of schCheckHier?  This is important because I want to check to see if there are any floating pins in the hierarchy.  I don't think it would be popular with other designeres to change floating pins from a warning to an error.

I noticed that when I run the function an info: is printed to the Virtuoso terminal for each cell in the hierarchy and it reports the number of warnings found in the given cell.

  • Curtis,

    Not as far as I can tell. It's a bit surprising, because knowing which cellViews had warning markers in would be useful - and the schCheck function tells you the number of errors and markers. So I think you either need to contact customer support and ask for an enhancement (maybe a keyword or optional argument to request that the output list contains a list of cellViews with either errors and warnings and for each the number of errors and warnings, or maybe a new function. The alternative for now is to write your own hierarchy traversal function and called schCheck yourself (probably dbSave too to do the save part if needed).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
