RTL Compiler functions with regexp

menime54

I am trying to use the get_libs command with a regular expression.  The following is returning an error for me as the regular expression is not working.  It is trying to evaluate [sft] instead of using it in the regular expression.  How do I write this line of code to work properly?

[get_libs -regexp "scs8ls_[sft][sft]_.*"]

rc:/> [get_libs -regexp "scs8ls_[sft][sft]_.*"]  
invalid command name "sft"

Thanks,

  • This is kinda tricky since SDC provides an application note with commands and options but nothing on semantics, etc.

    Here is how you can make it work in Innovus and Genus. I believe Innovus is 'more' correct in this case. I believe Genus is too strict in interpreting as literal when using {} to protect string

    [DEV]innovus 5> get_libs -regexp {r[ao]m.*}
    ram_256x16_slow rom_512x16A_slow ram_256x16_fast rom_512x16A_fast
    0x18

    genus@root:> get_libs -regexp "r\\\[ao\\\]m.*"
    library:wc0d99com/ram_256x16_slow library:wc0d99com/rom_512x16A_slow

    Using {} in Genus will result in nothing found since [] gets interpreted as literals. The downside of the innovus approach would be looking for libraries that have literal [] in their name would then likely require escapes, etc.

    hope this helps,
