Flowchart problem

tyanata

 Hello,

I am trying to create procedure trigerred by starting of a simulation in ocean script with many corners using runParam() command.

I found  way to do that with the Flowchart fucntions and it works ( I am using IC6.15 and ADE-L is opened), see the code bellow:

 

procedure(Sim_trigger_PCT()
        let((sess_local)
                if(asiGetCurrentSession() != nil then

                         sess_local = asiGetCurrentSession()
                        asiChangeFlowchartStep(asiGetFlowchart(sess_local)
                                ?name 'asiNetlist
                                ?preFunc 'CCSLoadScript_try
                        )
                );;if
        );;let
);;proc
 

procedure( CCSLoadScript_try(sess)
                printf("Test\n")
);;proc

 

 But I want procedure CCSLoadScript_try to have more arguments, see the same code little bit modified:

 

procedure(Sim_trigger_PCT()
        let((sess_local num_local)

                num_local = 1
                if(asiGetCurrentSession() != nil then

                         sess_local = asiGetCurrentSession()
                        asiChangeFlowchartStep(asiGetFlowchart(sess_local)
                                ?name 'asiNetlist
                                ?preFunc (CCSLoadScript_try sess_local num_local)
                        )
                );;if
        );;let
);;proc
 

procedure( CCSLoadScript_try(sess num)
                printf("Test %d\n" num)
);;proc

 

In that case the script is trigerred only once (there is only one text note "Test 1" in the log file), and then NO simulation has been done.

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

  • The reason why you only got one "Test 1" is because it actually called your function at the time you called asiChangeFlowchartStep, not at netlisting time. It would have tried to use the return value of the function as the preFunc, which is not what you want.

    You can't just add arbitrary function signatures - the preFunc will always be called with a single argument in this case - so adding more won't help you. However, you could take advantage of SKILL++ lexical scoping - so for example, if you use the code below (put it in a file with ".ils" as the suffix) - and it will then work. The globalProc is defined within the scope containing num_local and so can access it.

    procedure(Sim_trigger_PCT()
        let((sess_local num_local)

        globalProc(CCSLoadScript_try(sess)
            printf("Test %d\n" num_local)
            ; just for fun, increment the variable
            num_local++
        )

        num_local = 1
        if(asiGetCurrentSession() != nil then
            sess_local = asiGetCurrentSession()
            asiChangeFlowchartStep(asiGetFlowchart(sess_local)
            ?name 'asiNetlist
            ?preFunc 'CCSLoadScript_try
            )
        );;if
        );;let
    );;proc
     

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.

     

  •  Hello Andrew,

    Thanks for the response, from Cadence Support I received and another workaround also.

    So I will try both of them.
