SPICE3 Model debugging rahul 11-23-04

Hi All,

I am trying to understand the spice3 programming model

I have added new parameters to existing jfet model
by making changes to over 20 files. I wish
to know if there are debugging functions provided inside
spice3 which I can use during simulation to show
these variables.

Thanks in advance
Rahul

Spice 3 has nothing. It is the compiler that has the debugging features.
This question concerns me. How can you be compiling this without
understanding even the most basic feature of all compilers?

For example, in VC++ you simple right click and "add watch" to popup a
display of program variables.

I have added my version of amorphous Si TFT model
I was looking for error checking functions. I have
added fprintfs for now. I was looking for something
like cdump which I can type on the spice prompt.

I use linux ....

I don't know any debugger for C++ on Linux. (probably, there are various
debuggers... I just no know the name). If there is, use one.

Maybe GDB is what you need, but i've used it only for analyzing core
dumps.

Thanks Chaos.
I will try your suggestion.

I am using vi on linux.
I need a better ide and have been exploring
kdevelop on the side.
