How to count number of paths in RTL-compiler group?

 Hello all!

 Does anybody knows how to count number of paths in group, created by 'path_group' command? Or, at least, determine is group empty or not?

Thanks, dkos

    Hi dkos,

     Unfortunately, I currently have no idea how to count the number of paths in a group, but for checking if it's empty, you could do one of the following:

    1. report timing -lint 
    If the path_group is empty, it will be listed as exception, which is not affecting timing.

    2. report timing -paths [eval [get_attribute paths <path-group name>]]
    If you get "No paths found" the path group is empty.

    Not very elegant, but those are all the ideas I have at the moment ...

    Regards,
    Johannes
