App crashes when different types of start points specified for "report_checks -from" #173

Closed Blankgithub closed 1 year ago

Blankgithub commented 1 year ago

Reproduce steps:

  1. Modify last line of "examples/delay_calc.tcl" as "report_checks -from {clk u2}"
  2. run OpenSTA with command "../app/sta delay_calc.tcl"
  3. The app crashes.

ps: it seems that Sdc::makeFilterPath() could return a deleted exception pointer （in addException(exception)）

The issue is the the from mixes different object types (clock and instance) which the implementation isn't designed to handle. -from u2 won't work either because it is not a start point (it needs to use -through).

fixed in commit 8ed0b25 report_checks -from {clk inst} in https://github.com/parallaxsw/OpenSTA.git

Thank you for response, James.

Do we have any plan to support mixed different object types in the future?
