Problem Title:
Synopsys FPGA Compiler: Error code "VE-0" from analyze command in dc_shell


Problem Description:
Urgency: standard
General description:
When a source design file is prepared on a PC (using a PC-based text editor) or is detached from an email message on a PC-based email system, the file contains carriage-return characters that are inco mpatible with the Synopsys parser. If you try to analyze the file using dc_shell on a UNIX workstati on, the analyze command produces the following error, typically referencing line 1:

   (File: mydesign.v Line: 1)
   (VE-0)

This occurs on FPGA Compiler and Design Compiler.


Solution 1:

Convert the file using the dos2unix command before running the analyze command.
