Check if-else statement chain length

Specify whether to check if-else statement chain length

Since R2020b

Model Configuration Pane: Global Settings / Coding standards

Description

Specify whether to check if-else statement chain length. This check corresponds to CGSL-2.G.C.1c of the Industry standard guidelines.

Dependencies

To clear the Check if-else statement chain length check box, set the HDL coding standard parameter to Industry.

Settings

on (default) | off

Default: On

on

Check if-else statement chain length.

Length

Maximum if-else statement chain length, specified as a positive integer. The default is 7.

off

Do not check if-else statement chain length.

Tips

To set this property:

  1. Create an HDL coding standard customization object.

    cso = hdlcoder.CodingStandard('Industry');

  2. Set the IfElseChain property of the HDL coding standard customization object.

    For example, to check for if-else statement chains with length greater than 5, enter:

    cso.IfElseChain.enable = true;
    cso.IfElseChain.length = 5;

  3. Set the HDLCodingStandardCustomizations property to the HDL coding standard customization object, specify the coding standard, and generate code.

    For example, if your DUT is sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir, enter:

    makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir', 'HDLCodingStandard','Industry', ...
            'HDLCodingStandardCustomizations',cso);

Recommended Settings
