Using the PLI
• To specify the ACC capabilities that the debugging features of
VCS can use. To do this, specify ACC capabilities alone on a line
in a PLI table file, without an associated user-defined system task
or system function. See "Specifying ACC Capabilities for VCS
Debugging Features" on page 17-17 for more details.
When you specify ACC capabilities, you specify both of the following:
• The ACC capabilities you want to enable or disable.
• The part or parts of the design that you want this enabling or
disabling to occur.
In many ways, specifying ACC capabilities for your PLI functions, and
specifying them for VCS debugging features, is the same, but the
capabilities that you enable, and the parts of the design to which you
can apply them are different.
Specifying ACC Capabilities for PLI Functions
The format for specifying ACC capabilities is as follows:
acc=|+=|-=|:=capabilities:module_names[+]|%CELL|%TASK|*
Here:
acc
Keyword that begins a line for specifying ACC capabilities.
=|+=|-=|:=
Operators for adding, removing, or changing ACC capabilities.
The operators in this syntax are as follows:
=
A shorthand for
+=.
