NAME

Verilog::Netlist::Logger - Error collection and reporting

SYNOPSIS

  use Verilog::Netlist::Logger;

  ...

  my $self = Verilog::Netlist::Logger->new();
  $self->info("We're here\n");
  $self->warn("Things look bad\n");
  $self->error("Things are even worse\n");
  $self->exit_if_error();

DESCRIPTION

The Verilog::Netlist::Logger is used to report all errors detected by Verilog::Netlist::* structures. By default, Verilog::Netlist creates a new Logger object, and passes it down to all contained objects. Users may create their own logger objects to catch or otherwise handle error messages.
