💅 FreeHDL-GENNODES(1) — bestie edition 🎀

okay so real quick, this is a User Commands manual page, and it's about to be your new fave little AST generator. buckle up 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

FreeHDL-GENNODES — the abstract syntax tree generator that the VHDL compiler/simulator FreeHDL uses. like, that's literally her job. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

freehdl-gennodes CMD CHUNK IN-FILE OUT-FILE

four args, in that exact order, no cap. ✨

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

FreeHDL-GENNODES is an extensible framework for representing an abstract syntax tree. slay. 👑

the way it works: the program reads the IN-FILE and generates output for CHUNK in OUT-FILE, according to CMD. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

and now the part where CMD actually matters, so pay attention bestie:

  • when CMD is header — FreeHDL-GENNODES writes a header file to OUT-FILE that should be included by the users of the CHUNK. yes, the users of the chunk. they need it. give it to them. 💅
  • when CMD is impl — it writes the implementation of CHUNK. that's it. that's the whole thing. 🔥
