FreeHDL-V2CC(1)

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.
