CFUN

cfun - function block database creating program

SYNOPSIS

cfun [-dkps][-Cc_options] infile

OPTIONS

The following options can be specified:

	-d		Generate dummy circuit object with equivalence to created functional object. Will overwrite an existing working version of the circuit cell.
	-k		The '.p' file and the '.c' file that are generated by the program are not removed.
	-p		The C pre-processor will not first be run on the input file.
	-s		Messages about the actions taken by the program will not be printed.
	-C		The characters directly following this option are used as options for the C compiler.

DESCRIPTION

Cfun can be used to place a description of a function block into the database. As a description of a function block is contained by the database, instances of the function block can be included in a network description and an appropriate sls simulator can be generated. The latter is done by running the program sls_exp. The description of the function block is stored in the 'functional' view of the database, and this view should therefore be present when running cfun. Cfun will generate a '.c' file from the input description and it will use the C compiler to translate this file into an object file that can be linked to sls. When no options are specified, first the C pre-processor will be run on the input file and the intermediate result will be placed in a file with the extension '.p'. The input file may contain only one description of a function block. In addition, it may contain all other text that is allowed in a C file.

EXAMPLE

$ cfun -Cg ram.fun cc -E ram.fun > ram.p Parsing ram.p ; making ram.c cc -c -g ram.c Moving 'sls.o' into database for cell 'ram'

FILES

file.fun

input file

	file.p		temporary file
	file.c		temporary file
	file.o		object file that will be stored in the database
