NAME

FreeHDL-V2CC - A VHDL to C++ converter.

SYNOPSIS

freehdl-v2cc [OPTION] ... [FILE] ...

DESCRIPTION

FreeHDL is a parser/compiler/simulator suite for the hardware description language VHDL. VHDL'93 as well as VHDL'87 files are supported.

FreeHDL-V2CC translates the original VHDL source FILEs into C++.

OPTIONS

-o FILE: Write C++ generated code to FILE.
-n: Dry run.
-R: Emit register code.
-v: Enable verbosity.
-g: Emit debugging code.
-D: Emit CDFG code.
-l LIBNAME: Use LIBNAME as the WORK library, default is the "." library directory.
--relaxed-component-visibility: Allows invisible default bindings from WORK.
--depend FILE: Write dependency information to FILE.
-m FILE: Emit the main() file C++ code to FILE.
-L VHDLLIB: Path to VHDL library root directory. Within this directory the compiler search for a file named v2cc.libs. The mapping file v2cc.libs translates library unit names to directories. Note that more than one VHDLLIB may be provided.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

V2CC_LIBRARY_PATH: The variable V2CC_LIBRARY_PATH consists of ":" separated filenames. In addition to the environment variable, you can use the "-L libdir" command line option with v2cc. The directories specified with "-L" are added in front of the ones specified by V2CC_LIBRARY_PATH. In the final library path, they appear in the same order as on the command line.
