摘要:
Preprocessing parallel sequences of “wait” statements and synthesizing these multiple “wait” statements to construct support for RTL tools. This is accomplished by preprocessing a VHDL process with multiple wait statements (referred to as BehFSM) into an equivalent register transfer.
摘要:
Unrolling the “generate” statement of a hardware description language (“HDL”) and displaying the unrolled HDL. For a conditional generate the condition is evaluated. If the statement is true the enclosed HDL code will be displayed. For an iterative generate, the enclosing HDL will be displayed as many times as specified by the bounds of the iteration scheme. This allows, for example, simulation value annotations for signals declared inside the generate statement, semantic navigation inside the generate statements, and allows the user to visualize what is included in the target design.

A method includes pre-compilation operations on HDL source code files, creating a “make it” file, on demand processing of the HDL source code in an HDL source browser, and resolving overloaded function and operator calls in an HDL source code browser debugger. Construct a list of all HDL files a list of HDL files to be processed. Send an HDL file in the list for compiling. If compilation is successful, branch to add the HDL file to an end of target file and that HDL file is removed from the list. The list is tested for remaining files and then a next file in the list is sent for compiling. After all files in the list have been processed, the HDL files which have been processed are checked for failures to compile and if any of said HDL files to be processed have failed to compile the method branches back to repeating the process until all runs are successful.

摘要:
Method, system, and program product for processing hardware design language code to facilitate reuse of compiled code units including options and option values in compiled code units. The method includes the steps of grouping options and option values to determine if code controlled by them will be reused; and determining options and option values that would permit and prevent reuse of compiled code units.

摘要:
Passing input strings through an application programming interface between functions that take null byte terminated strings as arguments, where at least some of said input strings contain null bytes internally. This is accomplished by storing the positions of the null bytes relative to the start of the block and storing the non-null bytes in their relative order to prevent said internal null strings from being treated as terminal null strings.
摘要:
A method, system and computer program product for modeling variables in subprograms of a HDL program. A subprogram is provided with an initial value of a variable of an element being modeled and the subprogram is stored in memory of a data processing system. In response to a subprogram call, a copy of the stored subprogram is provided to the requesting HDL program. During execution, the initial value of the variable in the provided copy of the subprogram may be modified by the HDL program, but the value retains unchanged in the stored subprogram.
