File and Directory Pathnames

File and Directory Pathnames

Several ModelSim commands have arguments that point to files or directories. For example, the

-y argument to vlog specifies the Verilog source library directory to search for undefined

modules. Spaces in file pathnames must be escaped or the entire path must be enclosed in

quotes. For example:

vlog top.v -y C:/Documents\ and\ Settings/projects/dut

vlog top.v -y "C:/Documents and Settings/projects/dut"

Design Object Names

Design objects are organized hierarchically. Each of the following objects creates a new level in

the hierarchy:

• VHDL — component instantiation statement, block statement, and package

• Verilog — module instantiation, named fork, named begin, task and function

• SystemVerilog — class, package, program, and interface

• SystemC — module instantiation

Object Name Syntax

The syntax for specifying object names in ModelSim is as follows:

[<datasetName><datasetSeparator>][<pathSeparator>][<hierarchicalPath>]

<objectName>[<elementSelection>]

where

• datasetName — is the logical name of the WLF file in which the object exists. The

currently active simulation is the “sim” dataset. Any loaded WLF file is referred to by

the logical name specified when the WLF file was loaded. Refer to the chapter

“Recording Simulation Results With Datasets” in the User’s Manual for more

information.

• datasetSeparator — is the character used to terminate the dataset name. The default is

’:’, though a different character (other than ’\’) may be specified as the dataset separator

via the DatasetSeparator variable in the modelsim.ini file. The default is ':'. This

character must be different than the pathSeparator character.

• pathSeparator — is the character used to separate hierarchical object names. Normally,

'/' is used for VHDL and '.' is used for Verilog, although other characters (except '\') may

be specified via the PathSeparator variable in the modelsim.ini file. This character must

A relative name does not start with a path separator and may or may not include a dataset name

or a hierarchical path (e.g., u1/data or view:clk). A relative name is relative to the current

context in the current or specified dataset.

A fully-rooted name starts with a path separator and includes a hierarchical path to an object

(e.g., /top/u1/clk).There is a special case of a fully-rooted name where the top-level design unit

name can be unspecified (e.g., /u1/clk). In this case, the first top-level instance in the design is

assumed.

An absolute name is an exactly specified hierarchical name containing a dataset name and a

fully rooted name (e.g., sim:/top/u1/clk).

The current dataset is used when accessing objects where a dataset name is not specified as part

of the name. The current dataset is determined by the dataset currently selected in the Structure

window or by the last dataset specified in an environment.

The current context in the current or specified dataset is used when accessing objects with

relative or simple names. The current context is either the current process, if any, or the current

instance if there is no current process or the current process is not in the current instance. The

situation of the current process not being in the current instance can occur, for example, by

selecting a different instance in the Structure tab or by using the environment to set the current

context to a different instance.

Table 1-2 contains examples of various ways of specifying object names.

Table 1-2. Examples of Object Names

Object Name Description

clk specifies the object clk in the current context

/top/clk specifies the object clk in the top-level design unit.

/top/block1/u2/clk specifies the object clk, two levels down from the top-level

design unit

block1/u2/clk specifies the object clk, two levels down from the current

context

array_sig[4] specifies an index of an array object

{array_sig(1 to 10)} specifies a slice of an array object in VHDL or SystemC;

see Escaping Brackets and Spaces in Array Slices for more

information

{mysignal[31:0]} specifies a slice of an array object in Verilog or SystemC;

see Escaping Brackets and Spaces in Array Slices for more

information

record_sig.field specifies a field of a record, a C++ class or structure

member, or a C++ base class
