Description
Enables line-level tracing for simulation debugging purposes.
During simulation the simulation source file and line number being evaluated is returned to the Tcl console.
Tip: Process tracing with the
ptrace command provides more detailed information than is available with line tracing.This feature can also be enabled using the LINE_TRACING property on the current simulation object:
set_property LINE_TRACING on [current_sim]The command returns the state of line tracing, or returns an error if it fails.
Arguments
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the
set_msg_config command.<value> - (Required) Enables or disables line tracing during simulation. Specify a <value> of true to enable process tracing, or false to disable it.
Example
The following example enables line tracing:
ltrace true
