# confusion over where worst slacks are stored and populated
Tool: Gate Resizer
Subcategory: Code understanding

Hello, I'm an undergrad who has been trying to add some new functionality and thus trying to learn how the codebase works.
Right now, I am working in Resizer and trying to write a function that will print out the top failing (negative slack) paths. I was studying the code for worst slacks by studying the `worstSlack` functions in `Search.cc` and `WorstSlack.cc`, and also the `findResizeSlacks()` function in `Resizer.cc`. Looking at the `findResizeSlacks1()` function in `Resizer.cc`, it appears to populate the `worst_slack_nets_` field. However, when I try to access `worst_slack_nets_` in my function, it appears to be empty.
Is there something that I need to call before this to populate the field? Should I even be trying to access `worst_slack_nets_` at all?

@openroadie @maliberty any ideas here?
@cshi15 maybe take a quick look at #3045 to see if there was anything useful there.
Also maybe if you can commit what you have to a fork then it will make it easier to understand what you have tried so far.

I'm guessing you need to call Resizer::resizePreamble() first.
### maliberty
Can you put the code on a branch somewhere?
