Generate Statement and Vector and Component Instance Label Parameters

This page describes parameters that reside in the HDL Code Generation > Global Settings > General tab of the Configuration Parameters dialog box.

Block generate label

Specify postfix to block labels used for HDL GENERATE statements.

Settings

Default: '_gen'

Specify the postfix as a character vector. HDL Coder™ appends the postfix to block labels used for HDL GENERATE statements.

Command-Line Information

Property: BlockGenerateLabel

Type: character vector

Default: '_gen'

To set this property, use the functions hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use the function hdlget_param.

Output generate label

Specify postfix to output assignment block labels for VHDL^® GENERATE statements.

Settings

Default: 'outputgen'

Specify the postfix as a character vector. HDL Coder appends this postfix to output assignment block labels in VHDL GENERATE statements.

Command-Line Information

Property: OutputGenerateLabel

Type: character vector

Default: 'outputgen'

To set this property, use the functions hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use the function hdlget_param.

Instance generate label

Specify text to append to instance section labels in VHDL GENERATE statements.

Settings

Default: '_gen'

Specify the postfix as a character vector. HDL Coder appends the postfix to instance section labels in VHDL GENERATE statements.

Command-Line Information

Property: InstanceGenerateLabel

Type: character vector

Default: '_gen'

To set this property, use the functions hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use the function hdlget_param.

Vector prefix

Specify prefix to vector names in generated code.

Settings

Default: 'vector_of_'

Specify the prefix as a character vector. HDL Coder appends this prefix to vector names in generated code.

Command-Line Information

Property: VectorPrefix

Type: character vector

Default: 'vector_of_'

To set this property, use the functions hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use the function hdlget_param.

Instance postfix

Specify postfix to generated component instance names.

Settings

Default: '' (no postfix appended)

Specify the postfix as a character vector. HDL Coder appends the postfix to component instance names in generated code.

Command-Line Information

Property: InstancePostfix

Type: character vector

Default: ''

To set this property, use the functions hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use the function hdlget_param.

Instance prefix

Specify prefix to generated component instance names.

Settings

Default: 'u_'

Specify the prefix as a character vector. HDL Coder appends the prefix to component instance names in generated code.

Command-Line Information

Property: InstancePrefix

Type: character vector

Default: 'u_'

To set this property, use the functions hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use the function hdlget_param.

Dependency

Instance prefix option is disabled when you select the HDL coding standard configuration parameter to Industry.

Map file postfix

Specify postfix appended to file name for generated mapping file.

Settings

Default: '_map.txt'

Specify the postfix as a character vector. HDL Coder appends the postfix to file name for generated mapping file.

For example, if the name of the device under test is my_design, HDL Coder adds the postfix _map.txt to form the name my_design_map.txt.

Command-Line Information

Property: HDLMapFilePostfix

Type: character vector

Default: '_map.txt'

To set this property, use the functions hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use the function hdlget_param.
