2015.2 Vivado - Tcl script that removes and then adds a block with the same name causes a crash

描述

I have a Tcl script which does the following:
 
  1. Removes a cell / block from the project.
  2. Creates a cell of the same name as the one removed.
  3. Then the script reads in a checkpoint for the created cell.

 

Example Script:

    set parent [get_property PARENT $reset_net]
    set reset_net_i [get_nets -hier -filter "PARENT == $parent"]
    remove_net -prune [lindex $reset_net_i 1]
    set myblock [get_cells <hierary reference>]
    remove_cell $myblock
    create_cell -reference reset_sync_macro $myblock -black_box
    read_checkpoint ../files/reset_sync_macro.dcp

During the process of reading the checkpoint, the tools crashes or gives an exception.

The last part of the log reads as follows:

解决方案

The script above is creating an unknown state for the design.

  1. The remove_net puts info about the net into the undo/redo stack.
  2. Then, read_checkpoint replaces the parent cell view that contains the net, and then after that attempts to clear the undo/redo stack.
  3. At that point, the removed net tries to reference its parent cell, which has already been deleted.

Vivado will be updated in a future release to be able to handle this Tcl code. 

However, a better way to write the Tcl would be to set the variable based on the cell NAME value rather than the actual cell.

For Example:

The above script is getting and holding on to netlist objects as Tcl variables, for example:

set my_var [get_cells "/hier/name"]


The script then does a remove_cell $my_var (which is ok).

However it then does a create_cell $my_var.

$my_var has been removed, so this is not safe.

Instead, you can use the following:

set my_var [get_property NAME [get_cells "/hier/name"]]


Using this method, both the remove and create calls will work.

This issue will be fixed in Vivado 2015.3.
