Overview
  • 3 main areas of activity


    • Parser


    • Library of C functions


    • Target DB access mapping layer
3
Parser

  • Learn the data types


  • Parse statements


  • Create header file of external functions
4
Skill Specific C Library

  • Leverages a library of C functions to emulate list processing capabilities of Skill

  • Need to map skill db access calls to their target DB equivalents.
    • Eg:


    • instNmList = rep~>instances~>name


    • pinList = car(rep~>nets)~>terminals~>pins
