Check module, instance, entity name length

Specify whether to check module, instance, and entity name length

Model Configuration Pane: Global Settings / Coding standards

Description

Specify whether to check module, instance, and entity name length. This check corresponds to CGSL-1.A.B.1 of the Industry standard guidelines.

Dependencies

To clear the Check module, instance, entity name length check box, set the HDL coding standard parameter to Industry.

Settings

on (default) | off

Default: On

on

Check module, instance, and entity name length.

Minimum

Minimum name length, specified as a positive integer. The default is 2.

Maximum

Maximum name length, specified as a positive integer. The default is 32.

off

Do not check module, instance, and entity name length.

Tips

To set this property:

  1. Create an HDL coding standard customization object.

    cso = hdlcoder.CodingStandard('Industry');

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

    For example, to enable the check for module, instance, and entity name length, with 5 as the minimum length and 30 as the maximum length, enter:

    cso.ModuleInstanceEntityNameLength.enable = true;
cso.ModuleInstanceEntityNameLength.length = [5 30];

  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

No recommended settings.
