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.
