FAUHDLC(1)

💖 fauhdlc — the VHDL compiler page, bestie edition 💖

okay so you wanna know about fauhdlc? it's the little icon that turns your VHDL files into intermediate code. yes bestie, we're going low level today. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

fauhdlc — Compile VHDL files to intermediate code.

like, that's literally the whole job. compile VHDL → intermediate code. periodt. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fauhdlc [flags] [ --output filename ] [ --c-output filename ]
        [ --lib library  [  vhdl-file  ]...] { vhdl-file ...}

look at her. all those brackets. she's flexible. she's got range. 👑

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so fauhdlc is a VHDL compiler, and she will output intermediate code or C-code. that's the tea. ☕

and the vibe check? she supports a subset of the VHDL 2000 standard. not the whole thing, bestie, just a subset — don't come for her. she's doing her best and honestly her best is pretty iconic. ✨

💜 OPTIONS 💜

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below. (yes "programs" plural, the original said it, we keep it, we don't ask questions 💀)

• -h, --help — show summary of options. the "help me bestie" button. 🫶
• -o, --output output-file — output intermediate code into output-file.
• -l, --lib library-name — put the following VHDL-files into the library with name library-name. and if no --lib is present? all files go into the library "work". default behaviour, no cap. 🧚
• -f, --freestanding — do not preload any library except std.vhdl. by default, fauhdlc will preload common libraries (currently only std_logic_1164) in the appropriate library namespace. --freestanding prevents this behaviour — for example, if you want to override the implementation of such a library. main character energy: no preloading, just vibes. 👑
• -Werror — treat warnings as errors. warnings said "it's fine" and this option said "no it's NOT". 😭
• -p, --parse-only — stop with compilation after parsing the source file(s). mainly useful for debugging the compiler. parse and dip. 💅
• -d, --dot-parse dot-file — output the raw syntax tree into dot-file, which can be used with the GraphViz tools. pretty tree time. 🌈
• -c, --dot-const dot-file — output the syntax tree that exists after performing constant folding into dot-file, which can be used with the GraphViz tools. same tree, but she's been through something (constant folding). 💀
• -C, --c-output c-file — generate output as a C file c-file, that can be compiled with a C-compiler, e.g. gcc.

heads up bestie: this option is yet experimental. 🚧 proceed with the caution of a girl walking into a party she wasn't invited to.
