4 SYMBOL NAME CONVENTIONS
6 There are some naming conventions that the vp target uses for
7 generating symbol names.
11 Nets and variables are named V_<full-name> where <full-name> is the
12 full hierarchical name of the signal.
16 Logic devices (and, or, buf, bufz, etc.) are named L_<full_name>. In
17 this case the symbol is attached to a functor that is the output of
21 GENERAL FUNCTOR WEB STRUCTURE
23 The net of gates, signals and resolvers is formed from the input
24 design. The basic structure is wrapped around the nexus, which is
25 represented by the ivl_nexus_t.
27 Each nexus represents a resolved value. The input of the nexus is fed
28 by a single driver. If the nexus in the design has multiple drivers,
29 the drivers are first fed into a resolver (or a tree of resolvers) to
30 form a single output that is the nexus.
32 The nexus, then, feeds its output to the inputs of other gates, or to
33 the .net objects in the design.
