Hi @User@User I am trying to extract the netlist from a gds file. When I performed "extract all" in magic, after extracting a few cells, it gave me a Segmentation Fault. Is there some configuration I can set to avoid this issue? Or is there any other tool that you would recommend using? For context, I am not trying to do pex and the gds file is fairly big. Thanks!

1. Update to latest version 2. Make sure you have enough memory 3. If you have enough memory and it still fails, probably report it on GitHub. I would assume no segmentation fault is intended.

@User: A segfault during extraction is bad, and I would like a reproducible example to use to debug the issue. You can assume that a segmentation fault is magic's problem, not yours.

@User This is the GDS we tried on Magic. Thanks!

@User: Magic was not happy about cells named, e.g.,

/home/pi/NIST/Magic_layout/MOSCAP/moscap3

. I can fix the segfault, but as magic's extraction uses slashes to denote cell hierarchy, I'm not sure that the result will be a meaningful netlist. Your best bet is the workaround of removing the path names from the cell names.

I see, I will update the cells and do extraction again. Thank you very much!

@User: I was able to get an extracted netlist from the GDS as-is after fixing the segfault condition. It seems to have handled the slashes in the names correctly. If you need me to post the netlist, I can do that.

That'd be great, thanks @User

@User: Here's the netlist I got:

Thanks!
