ALE VHDL Integration *ale-vhdl-options*
===============================================================================
ALE can use three different linters for VHDL:
iverilog:
Using `iverilog -t null -Wall`
ModelSim/Questa
Using `vcom -2008 -quiet -lint`
Vivado
Using `xvhdl --2008`
Note all linters default to VHDL-2008 support. This, and other options, can be
changed with each linter's respective option variable.
Linters/compilers that utilize a "work" directory for analyzing designs- such
as ModelSim and Vivado- can be passed the location of these directories as
part of their respective option strings listed below. This is useful for
holistic analysis of a file (e.g. a design with components, packages, or other
code defined external to the current file as part of a larger project) or
when wanting to simply pass an alternative location for the auto-generated
work directories (such as '/tmp') so as to not muddle the current directory.
Since these type of linters often use this work directory for holding compiled
design data as part of a single build process, they sometimes cannot handle
the frequent, asynchronous application launches when linting while text is
changing. This can happen in the form of hangs or crashes. To help prevent
this when using these linters, it may help to run linting less frequently; for
example, only when a file is saved.
