Subject: Cadence Offering A Free Beta DFII SKILL Tabulator (Lint) Program
John,
There's a lint-like DFII SKILL Tabulator (beta verson) available for Cadence
customers to obtain by:
/usr/ucb/mail -s "send skillTab.il" swap@cadence.com < /dev/null
Once you obtain that beta SKILL Tabulator, start DFII (any release):
icfb &
Load & run the beta SKILL Tabulator:
load("skillTab.il")
sseTabulateSKILL()
And, please send me the results:
mail -s "skillTab.out" john@cadence.com < skillTab.out
You'll be amazed that we can then tell you:
- Every function you are using (yours or ours) and how many times
- Which ones are mis-spelled or otherwise undefined dependencies
- Which ones are changed or deleted in all recent DFII releases
(even future releases)
- What the changes (usually positive) are & how to recover
- How long it might take to recover
And, with the actual SKILL code:
- Super SKILL Lint scores for every file, graded from best to worst
etc.
I urge your Cadence ESNUG readers to check out this beta test software and
let us know what they think.
