Modelsim (XE III/Starter 6.4b) not allowing me to define a macro function
- by montooner
I'm working on a Xiling FPGA for a course project. Normally we use the lab computers, but I'm trying to install on my own computer.
So, I'm trying to include a macro file using line:
`include "Const.v"
But the following macro function doesn't work. Any ideas why?
`ifdef synthesis // if Synplify
`define SYNPLIFY
`define SYNTHESIS
`define MACROSAFE
`else // if not Synplify
`ifdef MODELSIM
`define SIMULATION
`define MACROSAFE
`else
`define XST
// synthesis translate_off // if XST then stop compiling
`undef XST
`define SIMULATION
`define MODELSIM
// synthesis translate_on // if XST then resume compiling
`ifdef XST
`define SYNTHESIS
`define MACROSAFE
`endif
`endif
`endif

`ifdef MACROSAFE
