| Silly question... | |
| ``` | |
| >>> report_checks -path_delay max -through [get_pins foo*] -format full_clock_expanded -fields {net slew cap} | |
| Startpoint: yyy (positive level-sensitive latch clocked by clock) | |
| Endpoint: zzz (output port clocked by clock) | |
| Path Group: clock | |
| Path Type: max | |
| Fanout Cap Slew Delay Time Description | |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 0.00 0.00 clock clock (rise edge) | |
| 0.00 0.00 clock source latency | |
| 0.00 0.00 0.00 ^ clock (in) | |

| I think you want to resolve "positive level-sensitive latch" first. I think it relates to latch transparency. | |
