dbForEach dbForAll and db*Next* difference

iclabwhoami

Hi ,

Do anyone know what's the difference between  dbForEach* and dbForAll *?  why does it need to use db*Next*

in iteration loop?

    I seem to these commands being necessary when there wasn't a data-type-specifc dbForEach* iterator command available.  The dbForAll (as opposed to dbForEach) seemed to be necessary when you wanted to iteration through, for example, power pins in addition to signal pins when iterating through pins on a cell.

    However, you should be able to get at this information with the dbGet command that debuted in 7.1.  Are you seeing some cases where you still need to use these old style commands?  If so let us know so we can improve dbGet and/or help with usage of some of these more confusing old style commands.

    Thanks,
    Bob
