[myhdl-list] written conversion filename?

[Henry G. <he...@ca...>]

Am I correct in asserting that there is no way to directly get the 
converted filename from the results of e.g. toVHDL?

It seems like this would be a useful thing to know for programmatic 
control of the outputs.

Cheers,

Henry

Yes and no, after conversion you can't poll the
toV*.filename and get the name of the recently
created file.

But, you can only pass a single top-level to the
conversion functions, and this function can be
queried for its name and simply append the
extension.


In [62]: def m_foobot(clock, reset, x, y):
     ...:     @always_seq(clock.posedge, reset=reset)
     ...:     def rtl():
     ...:         x.next = y
     ...:     return rtl
     ...:

In [63]: m_foobot.func_name
Out[63]: 'm_foobot'

In [64]:

Unless toVHDL.name is set ;) (and also toVHDL.directory in dev)

Thanks, it confirms what I thought. That's not too onerous a work around.
