scram - an extensible VHDL analyzer/code generator

scram [options] file[s]

scram is a parser for the VHDL '93 hardware description language. VHDL descriptions are parsed into the AIRE intermediate form. SCRAM can output either VHDL or C++ output. The C++ output is in a form suitable for linking with the TyVIS VHDL simulation kernel.

--debug-symbol-table

Generate additional output to aid in the debugging of items stored in the symbol table. Probably only useful for developers.

--debug-gen-cc-ref

Inserts comments into the generated code showing where in the code generator various lines were produced. Probably only useful for developers.

--design-library-name <library name>

Generate code into the logical library named. Will create a directory called <library name>._savant_lib if such a directory is not found in VHDL_LIBRARY_PATH or the builtin search path.

--no-file-output

Generate C++ output to stdout instead of files.

--warranty-info

Shows a message about the lack of warranty.

--vhdl-93

Process input as conforming to IEEE standard 1076-1993. This is the default.

--vhdl-ams

Process input as conforming to IEEE standard 1076.1-1999, or VHDL-AMS. Highly experimental - assume that it is broken.

--vhdl-2001

Process input as conforming to 1076-2001. Experimental.

--version

Output version information.

--verbose

Verbose parsing - will show the search paths that the analyzer is using to locate libraries and additional information.

-help

prints a usage statement.
