Skill Lint: Using global variables, form name

Hi,
The skill form is always stored as a global variable, But is there a
way to tell SKILL Lint that this particular variable is used to store a
skillForm?

Thanks in advance,

regards,
Suresh

 

Give the form global variable a sensible prefix - (I would use (say) "AB").
Then in the SKILL Lint form you can specify the prefixes you're using - and it
will tolerate correctly named global variables.

As far as I'm aware of every form data structure has to
be stored in a global variable.

There are a two keyword arguments that I know to tell
sklint that specific globals are allowed:

?prefixes l_prefixList; you can define a list of prefixes for your globals
?globals l_globals; list of allowed globals


I believe the ?prefixes argument is equivalent to the 'Package Prefixes' in
the SKILL Lint form.

But code from you originates from Cadence and therefore you use "ab"?

 

Svenn,

I'm a bit naughty, to be honest. I starting writing lots of code before we
introduced the convention that non-Cadence code should use a prefix which
begins with a capital letter. I tended to interpret this as "I'm Cadence so
I can get away with the prefix I always used, 'ab'" - but a stricter
interpretation of the guidelines would mean that I'd use "Ab" or "AB".

These days, if I'm writing a solution, I often convert my "ab" prefixed code to
use "CCS" instead (Cadence Customer Support) as in customer support we have
some guidelines about SKILL code in solutions.

Anyway, R&D should not use functions that begin with upper case, so that's
the reason why we recommend customers using a prefix starting with upper case.

There you are. Clear as mud ;-)

Andrew.
