Subject: Ouch! We Got Burned 'Cause Design Analyzer Doesn't Support TCL!
Hi, John.
Oh Great! We get our entire synthesis environment setup for TCL-based
scripting (DC, PT, etc) and find out that Design Analyzer doesn't support
TCL. This really blows chunks, considering there is no elegant way to
automagically determine if you would like TCL or DC-flavored usage in your
~~/.synopsys_dc.setup file. Hence any DA usage must now have a separate
kludge to get the library paths, environment setups, etc to work! Yuck!
Rumours say that Synposys is re-writing the GUI interface of Design Analyzer
to be TCL-friendly, but that isn't available now when I need it. Now why
can't Synopsys release tools (DA & DC) that at least work together in a nice
fashion?
