F1.5, HDL Editor: Symbol is not created for a synthesized HDL macro


Record #4785

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Aldec

Product Part: Foundation Project Manager

Product Version: 1.5

Problem Title:
F1.5, HDL Editor: Symbol is not created for a synthesized HDL macro


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
In F1.5, when creating an HDL macro, the macro seems to synthesize fine,
but no symbol is generated. There are no warning or error messages.


Solution 1:

This behavior can occur if the HDL source file has the same name as the
Foundation project in use.
Do not create user macros with the same name as the Foundation project,
because conflicts will occur with netlists generated by the macro and the
project.
