*Error* eval: undefined function - hiSetBindKey when running si or strmout

alexstepanov75

Hi,

When running si or strmout I am getting error

*Error* eval: undefined function - hiSetBindKey

I understand that this function undefined when running si or strmout

The question is how I can detect which skill calls this function?

Thanks,

Alex.

    Hi Alex,

    Put this around your bindkey setting:

    when(isCallable('hiSetBindKey)
      hiSetBindKey(...)
      hiSetBindKey(...)
    )

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    The problem is that all my hiSetBindKey calls already inside when as you suggested. It is hiSetBindKey in another place like PDK skills or other tool skills loaded by virtuoso causing this error.

    So the question is it a simple way to locate it?

    I suspect it is in skill loaded by libinit.il from TSMC PDK library. So additional question is it possible to skip loading of libinit.il in si?

    Thanks!

    It's potentially dangerous to skip loading of libInit.il in si because there might be a custom netlist procedure defined via that libInit.il which would then be missing. Unfortunately you can't skip them anyway (historically there was a problem where a FirstAccessLib which returned nil caused the rest not to run, but that was a mistake and was fixed).

    In order to locate it, I guess you could start virtuoso, and then (assuming you have the SKILL Development license) use:

    breakpt(hiSetBindKey)

    and then do whatever you do to trigger the library to be loaded. I don't believe TSMC normally put bindkey definitions in their libInit.il though, but maybe it's a local customisation?

    When the breakpt is triggered, you can type where() to find out the stack as to what it's doing at the time, and that may help locate it.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Andrew,

    breakpt(hiSetBindKey) worked. As I suspected hiSetBindKey called from one of .cdn files loaded from libInit.il of PDK library.

    Thank you very much. You are very helpful, as usual :)
