[Openroad-users] documentation on get_appl?

Thu Jul 19 06:43:35 EST 2007

There is a couple of problems with processed script.

1. It is processed!
So all defines and includes are gone, and all built in OpenROAD stuff like $_curfld has been substituted.

2. It does not contain the form

Hi,

One idea would be to start integrating OpenROAD with something like CVS. I've
used CVS (through Eclipse) with Java and think it works well, handling the
merging of changes either automatically or with a little manual intervention.
CVS presents an external interface that could be used from an OpenROAD app.

Given the AppSource for an application it is possible to get hold of
individual components using FetchComponent. From there you can get hold of
the scripts etc. There is a function make_glued_script that will produce the
processed script for a frame, details that I've found below:

make_glued_copy - Produces processed script for a frame.

	make_glued_copy(comperr = byref(i4),
			scr = scriptcomposite,
			srcobj = FrameSource);

	srcobj	- Framesource of frame to get processed script for.
	scr	- scriptcomposite, the script attribute contains the
processed script.

The scriptcomposite could then be used as the basis of the thing to save into
CVS.

I guess you could have flushing issues etc. as has been pointed out. As
get_appl etc. is unsupported I guess it's behaviour could also change from
one version of OR to the next (or from patch to patch).

Hope that helps or provides some ideas.

Regards,
Jim

Hi,

vermutlich könnte ich auf Deutsch schreiben:-)) , but let's stick to
English.

Currently we consider two methodologies for versioning OpenROAD:

- One is based on exporting, versioning and re-importing components, along
with locking-mechanisms.

- The other is based on storing the internal versions of all components
when baselining, and using this information to re-establish a specific
baseline.

Both methodologies have quite some limitations due to the fact that support
for merging is not provided, and changes that shall be transfered from one
branch to another need to be re-done (possible with support by some basic
tooling).

>From the mailing list I have some more information on how to preceed for
versioning OpenROAD
(http://www.peerlessit.com/pipermail/openroad-users/2007-May/000464.html)
and I found some more information on how to merge at least code ("scripts"
in O.R.-terminology?) automatically, using documentapp-outputs for
detecting differences between two versions, and get_appl for implementing
the merge functionality.

I currently don't have access to a development environment, so I cannot try
out what you sent me. What will FrameSourceVar.Script  return? Will I be
able to parse the code then, using normal string processing?

Thanks
Robert

Sounds interesting, good luck!

We have an application which does automated exports (OpenROAD components to
files) and also automated changes within components like changing the
BgColor of all EntryFields.

After having loaded an application through get_appl, the next step is
loading the components one after another using

CompSourceVar = AppSourceVar.FetchComponent(COMPONENTNAME = ...)

You then have access to the Frame Script or Procedure Script
(FrameSourceVar.Script) as well as to the visual elements of a frame.

Let me know if I can help you!
