NAME
vpm - Preprocess verilog code
SYNOPSIS
vpm [ --help ] [ --date ] [ --quiet ] [ directories... ]
DESCRIPTION
Vpm will read the verilog file specified and preprocess it. The output will be named .vpm unless another name is given with -o.
If a directory is passed, all files in that directory will be preprocessed recursively. Typicall usage in this case is to use a -o with another output directory.
ARGUMENTS
- --allfiles
-
Preprocess and write out files that do not have any macros that need expanding. By default, files that do not need processing are not written out.
- --chiponly
-
Special standalone chip compile
- --date
-
Check file dates versus the last run of VPM and don\'t process if the given source file has not changed.
- --help
-
Displays this message and program version and exits.
- --quiet
-
Suppress messages about what files are being preprocessed.
- --vericov
-
Special vericov enable/disables added.
- --verilator
-
Special verilator translation enabled.
- --o file
-
Use the given filename for output instead of the input name .vpm. If the name ends in a / it is used as a output directory with the default name.
FUNCTIONS
These verilog pseudo-pli calls are expanded:
- $assert (case, "message", [vars...] )
-
Report a $error if the given case is FALSE. (Like assert() in C.)
- $assert_amhot (sig, [sig...], "message", [vars...] )
-
Report a $error if more then one signal is asserted. (None asserted is ok.)
- $assert_info (case, "message", [vars...] )
-
Report a $info if the given case is FALSE. (Like assert() in C.)
- $assert_onehot (sig, [sig...], "message", [vars...] )
-
Report a $error if other then one signal is asserted.
- $check_ilevel (level )
-
Return true if the __message level is greater or equal to the given level, and that global messages are turned on.
- $coverage (signal, [signal...] )
-
Add code to perform coverage analysis on all possible values of the given signals, or with $expand around a signal, the value of each bit independently.
- $info (level, "message", [vars...] )
-
Report a informational message in standard form. End test if warning limit exceeded.
- $error (0, "message", [vars...] )
-
Report a error message in standard form. End test if error limit exceeded.
- $warn (0, "message", [vars...] )
-
Report a warning message in standard form.
