FPGA Express 2.x: Undefined macro 'ifdef, VE-0


Record #2275

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Synopsys

Product Part: FPGA Express

Product Version: 2.1.1

Problem Title:
FPGA Express 2.x: Undefined macro 'ifdef, VE-0


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
If a Verilog design uses the `ifdef compiler directive, the following error will occur during the Analyze phase:

Error: Undefined macro `ifdef at or near token "`ifdef"
   (File: C:\myproj\test\ifdef.v Line: 8) (VE-0)


Solution 1:

The `ifdef directive is not supported by versions of FPGA Express up to and including 3.1. This issue has been addressed in FPGA Express 3.2. See (Xilinx Solution 5791) for details.
