Compile-Time Options
Specifying the Name of the Executable File
-o name
Specifies the name of the executable file. In UNIX the default is
simv.
Returning The Platform Directory Name
-platform
Returns the name of the platform directory in your VCS
installation directory. For example, when you install VCS on a
Solaris version 5.4 workstation, VCS creates a directory named
sun_sparc_solaris_5.4 in the directory where you install VCS. In
this directory are subdirectories for licensing, executable libraries,
utilities, and other important files and executables. You need to
set your path to these subdirectories. You can do so using this
option:
set path=($VCS_HOME/bin\
$VCS_HOME/‘$VCS_HOME/bin/vcs -platform‘/bin\
$path)
Specifying Native Code Generation
-gen_obj
Generates object code; default on Solaris, HP and Linux
platforms. Not supported on IBM RS/6000 AIX.
For Long Calls
-B
Generates long calls for large designs. Applies to HP 9000/700
models only.
