OpenVera Native Testbench
-ntb_cmp
Compiles and generates the testbench shell (file.vshell) and
shared object files. Use this when compiling the .vr file separately
from the design file.
+error+n
Sets the maximum number (n) of errors before compilation
failure.
-f filename
Specifies the file containing a list of all the source files to be
compiled. Synopsys recommends that you append the .list
extension to the filename to indicate that it is an NTB source list
file. The -f option works equally well with both relative and
absolute path names.
For example:
------------------------
#file.list
topTest.vr
packet.vr
checker.vr
------------------------
% vcs -ntb design_module_name.v module_name.test_top.v \
testbench_file.vr -f file.list
-ntb_define macro
Specifies any OpenVera macro name on the command line. You
can specify multiple macro names using the + delimiter.
Examples:
-ntb_define macro1
-ntb_define macro1+macro2
