Creating Context file

shobha

Hi all,

I am trying to covert pcell code into .cxt file for pcell packaging using setContext("myContext"), load(pcellCode) and saveContext("pcellCode.cxt"). Every time I run this code I get some errors, I am trying to figure it out but unable to do it. I am open to any suggestions.

 

Regards,

Shobha

  • Use:

    sstatus(savePcreData t)

    before creating the context. That should work, as far as I know.

    Thanks for the reply Andrew.
    1. I am getting the below warnings, is that fine?
    2. Also I read from the sklanguser document that, context will not work if we use port values, database handlers and window types. The warning I am getting is related to this or something else?

    Are you using "virtuoso -ilLoadIL code.il" to build the context? You need to do this to disable the auto-loading of contexts and then have to ensure that you manually load the dependency contexts for this to work - and ensure that you don't have any inter-context objects (which can be tricky). I suspect you're not doing this because you seem to have quite a few things initialised that are seen as inter-context dependencies.

    You might find it much simpler to use loadTopContextForms() instead to load the code and then the resulting context is similar to just loading the source files. The documentation describes the options to protect various parts of the code. This differs from a standard context in that it doesn't just save the byte-code compiled snapshot of the SKILL virtual machine, but it's much easier to build the context and it is much more flexible with regards to the IC version you're using.

    Regards,
