vppp - Preprocess Verilog code using verilog-perl
vppp --help vppp [verilog_options] [-o filename] [verilog_files.v...]
Vppp reads the Verilog files passed on the command line and outputs preprocessed output to standard out or the filename passed with -p.
The following arguments are compatible with GCC, VCS and most Verilog programs.
Defines the given preprocessor symbol.
Read the specified file, and act as if all text inside it was specified as command line parameters.
Add the directory to the list of directories that should be searched for include directories or libraries.
Specify the extensions that should be used for finding modules. If for example module x is referenced, look in x.ext.
Displays this message and program version and exits.
Use the given filename for output instead of stdout.
Removes empty lines from the output. Should be used with --noline, as if correct line numbers are needed, blank lines must be preserved for proper accounting by the program reading the output of vppp.
Remove comments.
Remove `line directives.
Rigorously obey the Verilog spec. This disables the `__FILE__ and `__LINE__ features, and may disable other features that are not specified in the language reference manual. Defaults false.
Requests simple output, an alias for --noline, --nocomment and --noblank.
Displays program version and exits.
Vppp supports the preprocessing constructs defined in the Verilog 2001 and SystemVerilog 3.1 standards.
The following additional constructs may be added to your Verilog code.
The __FILE__ define expands to the current filename, like C++'s __FILE__.
The __LINE__ define expands to the current line number, like C++'s __LINE__.
This will report an error when encountered, like C++'s #error.
