Subject: Are You Just As Disappointed With Synopsys Presto As We Are?
Hi John,
We're investigating using the new Synopsys Presto Verilog 2000 features
like arrayed instantiation and multiply-dimensioned arrays. In our
preliminary evaluations of Presto's support for these features,
I have been sorely disappointed (using 2000.11-SP1). I have been even
more disappointed by the Synopsys On Line Documentation provided
describing Presto's support of these particular features.
We have also encountered some serious backwards incompatibility with HDL
Compiler issues (i.e., Verilog that works fine with HDL Compiler that
breaks Presto), and Synopsys has publicly stated its intent to make Presto
the default Verilog reader starting with the 2001.08 release.
I would be very interested in hearing about others' experiences with
Verilog 2000 and Presto to date.
