Subject: Unused Ports From Synthesis Causing Simulation Headaches

> After I synthesize a design, I'm re-simulating it as gate-level verilog.
> However, synopsys doesn't always use every port on a library component
> (e.g. Q and Q_BAR on a DFF).  Verilog gives tons of warnings for this type
> of stuff.  Is there a way to get rid of this?

You can use +nowarnTFNPC option while verilog-xl simulation.  Although you
may skip other port connection mismatches related to your hierarchical
modules.

The other way is to set VerilogOut_Show_Unconnected_Port = "TRUE" (I think I
got the name right).  All your ports will be shown with no net.  On the down
side I have seen this mess up some 3rd party timing estimators that didn't
understand the syntax.

It should be verilogout_show_unconnected_pins = true.
