AR# 45468 PlanAhead - Attempting to set a LOC property on a pointer to a deleted port results in an unexpected error

Description


If I execute the Tcl script with a set_property LOC command similar to the following example, I receive exception errors and the PlanAhead tool crashes.

Example:
set my_port [get_ports we]
set _we_loc [get_property LOC $my_port]
set_property LOC "" $my_port
delete_port $my_port
set_property LOC AB17 $my_port

"An unexpected error has occurred (11)

Solution


The problem is that when a port is deleted by using the "delete_port $my_port" statement, the pointer $my_port is still holding the old pointer port data. The future reference of the $my_port causes the software to crash.

To correct this issue, call "set my_port [get_ports we]" again to reset $my_port.
