System Verilog 2017 Pre-processor, Parser

Goal

This project aims at providing a complete System Verilog 2017 front-end: a preprocessor, a parser, an elaborator for both design and testbench.

Applications

Linter, Simulator, Synthesys tool, Formal tools can use this front-end and be developed either as plugins (linked with) or use this front-end as an intermediate step of their compilation flows using the on-disk memory models (down-converter).

Contributing to this project

This project is open to contributions from any user! From the commercial vendor to the Verilog enthousiast are welcome.

Features

The preprocessor and the parser use Antlr 4.72 as a parser generator.
The preprocessor and the parser ASTs are made persistent on disk using Google Flatbuffers, enabling incremental compilation.
The tool is built thread safe and performs multithread parsing.
Large files/modules/packages are splitted for multi-threading compilation.
Surelog accepts IEEE Simulator-compliant project specification.
Surelog issues Errors/Warning/Info/Notes about language compliance.
Surelog allows for pre-compiled packages (UVM,...).
