C-29
Compile-Time Options
gui
Tells VCS to start the cmView graphical user interface to display
coverage data.
batch
Tells VCS to start cmView to write reports in batch mode. This
is the default operation.
You enter cmView command line options to the right of this option
and its argument.
-cm_resetfilter filename
Filters out FSM coverage transitions in assignment statements
controlled by if statements where the conditional expression
(following the keyword if) is a signal you specify in the file. This
filtering out can be for the specified signal in any module definition
or in the module definition you specify in the file. You can also
specify the FSM and whether the signal is true or false in the file.
-cm_scope "argument"
Limits the scope of what part of the design VCS compiles for
coverage. It takes an argument that is similar, but not identical to,
a line in the configuration file for the -cm_hier option. The
difference is that the + (plus) and - (minus) follow the tree, module,
file and filelist keywords instead of preceding them as they do in
the configuration file. You can enter more than one
-cm_scope option. The argument must be enclosed in quotation
marks. The following is an example of the use of this option:
vcs -cm_scope "tree+top.inst1" -cm_scope "file-
testshell.v"
-cm_tglfile filename
Specifies displaying at runtime a total toggle count for one or more
subhierarchies specified by the top-level module instance entered
in the file. This option is also a runtime option.
