Compile-Time Options
Options for File Containing Source File Names and
Options
-f filename
Specifies a file name that contains a list of absolute path names
for Verilog source files and compile-time options.
You can enter in this file all the compile-time options that begin
with a plus (+) character with three exceptions: do not enter the
+comp64, +full64, or +memopt compile-time options.
You can also enter the following compile-time options that begin
with a minus (-) character:
You can also enter the runtime options in this file so that VCS
compiles them into the simv executable.
You cannot include C source or object file names, for PLI
applications, in this file.
You can specify a path name for the filename argument. Note
that you can also enter the -f option in this file with the path name
of another file that also contains a list of absolute path names for
Verilog source files and compile-time options.
-F filename
Similar to the -f option, but if you specify a path name for the
filename argument, you do not have to list absolute path names
for the Verilog source files that you list in the file. VCS uses the
path to this file as the path to the Verilog source files.
Nested files are not supported.
