    摘要: A system receives a specification of a circuit design for performing simulation of the circuit design. The specification includes one or more prototyping statements. A prototyping statement is processed by simulation of the circuit design. The system generates a netlist graph based on the specification of the circuit design. The system ignores the prototyping statements while generating the netlist graph. The system modifies the netlist graph to incorporate the prototyping statements of the specification. The netlist graph is modified by adding at least a net to the netlist graph based on a prototyping statement. The system performs static analysis based on the modified netlist graph.
