Getting a list of all existing SKILL functions

LoVyacheslavvVEMs

Hello.
My company uses text editors to write the SKILL code. For myself, I chose to use Sublime Text, and for convenience, I want to write my own syntax highlighting. For pop-up completions when writing a function, I want to get a list of all existing SKILL functions, however, I have not found a way to do this.
Can I get a list of all existing SKILL functions and how to do it?
Thanks!

  • Hi,

    I still may think that trying to have highlighting for all SKILL functions is an overkill, because it is unlikely that you need more than a couple of hundred of them, you might be able to list them with such a command in the CIW:

    functions = setof(args mapcar('lambda((x) car(errset(arglist(x)))) oblist) args != 'unknown)

    I would at least filter them on the "_" and "__" prefixes to drop all internal functions, because for my current session this has returned more than 83000 functions...

    I am using a custom Gedit highlighting scheme, but it was more or less more manually created and I update it with my own functions as well. I think it would be better idea to list several functions families independently using regex and then combine them in your needed file:

    listFunctions("^db.+")

    Regards,

  • Hi,

    If you want to get the list of public, documented functions (with their arguments, docstrings, etc.)

    You can parse .fnd files in Cadence Virtuoso Root  (simplifyFilename (strcat (car (getInstallPath)) "/../../doc/finder"))

    You can also parse .fnd files in (getenv "CDS_FINDER_PATH") [if any].

    Cheers
