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.
