Verilog-Perl

by Wilson Snyder

Summary

This library is intended as a building point for Verilog support in the Perl language. It includes:

Verilog::Getopt parses command line options similar to C++ and Vcs.

Verilog::Language knows the language keywords and parses numbers.

Verilog::Netlist builds netlists out of Verilog files. This allows easy scripts to determine things such as the hiearchy of modules.

Verilog::Parser invokes callbacks for language tokens.

Verilog::Preproc preprocesses the language, and allows reading post-processed files right from Perl without temporary files.

Vpm preprocesses warnings and assertions for any simulator.

vppp preprocesses the complete Verilog 2001 and SystemVerilog language.

Vrename renames and cross-refrences Verilog symbols.
