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.

SEE ALSO¶

gvhdl(1), freehdl-config(1), v2cc.libs(5)
