While looking at a Netlist
From Verific Design Automation FAQ
Q: While looking at a Netlist, is there a clean way to look back at what VeriModule* or VhdlPrimaryUnit* this netlist was derived from?
For example, a module:
module mod(); parameter WIDTH=2; ... endmodule
would elaborate to a netlist name \mod(WIDTH=2) or if instantiated with a different width \mod(WIDTH=4)
There are "system" attributes attached to the Netlist that you may find useful. Note the leading space:
- key: " language", value: one of "verilog" "vhdl".
- key: " cell_name", value: original module/unit name.
See also Netlist::CellBaseName().
Once you get the original name of the module/unit, you can search the parse tree for it.
