Subject: PhysOpt's DEF Output Can't Be Read Into Cadence Silicon Ensemble
Hi all,
I got this from Synopsys. PhysOpt doesn't write out the PROPERTYDEFINITIONS
section in a DEF file correctly. It does not add a space before the
semicolon at the end of each of the following lines. Silicon Ensemble can
not parse this DEF without a space between each token. It flags an error.
NET ROOT_ORIGINAL_NAME STRING;
COMPONENTPIN CLOCKROOT STRING;
NET CLOCKROOT STRING;
which should be:
NET ROOT_ORIGINAL_NAME STRING ;
COMPONENTPIN CLOCKROOT STRING ;
NET CLOCKROOT STRING ;
This problem was seen while reading DEF from PhysOpt into Silicon Ensemble.
The workaround is to edit your PhysOpt DEF output to insert the required
spaces between the property string and the ";" until the bug gets fixed.
