How can I make a SKILL procedure not callable?

Byron Caloz

Inside the scope of isCallable there is code which I don't want to be executed.

The procedure named in isCallable to-day is callable.

I want to make that procedure so it cannot be called.  How do I do that?

I can't change the isCallable line or the scope.  I want to change its behavior by making sure that the procedure does not exist (obviously this would be done before the code is executed).

    I think you're just asking how to undefined a function? Assuming it's a SKILL function (i.e. implemented in SKILL) and not a Cadence built-in function implemented in C, you can do:

    putd('myFunc nil)

    note that if there is an autoload property to cause the code to be auto-loaded when called, you'd also need to reset that (otherwise it remains callable):

    remprop('myFunc 'autoload)

    Does that help?

    Andrew.

    Yes, that is very helpful.  Turns out, though, that it was a Cadence built-in function, so won't be able to take this approach.
