Hi, John,
The Verilog netlist reader available with the new Presto HDL Compiler is
great! It's much faster and the memory requirements are far less than the
old netlist reader.
However, after you've read in your netlist, the current_design points to the
*first* module read from the netlist file, not the last one! This is
backwards from how the old HDL compiler worked. So, be sure and do a
current_design to the top-most module after you read in the file.
As explained in the 2000.05 release notes, here's how you enable the new
netlist reader:
set enable_verilog_netlist_reader "true"
read -f verilog -netlist my_huge_file.v
Enjoy!
