Hi All,

Can I use '*' inside of the verilog-library-directories ?

I mean, is it possible to use just a partial file to the module location and for the rest path to use just '*'?

Ex1:
// verilog-library-directories:("." "../../ips/axi_ic/synth/") 

For Ex1, can I rewrite it as the following?
// verilog-library-directories:("." "../../ips/*") 
<pre?

Thank you!

You can use * to mean a single wildcard, as with all of Linux it won't do a recursive decent to subdirectories.

Note usually using verilog-library-flags is preferred as that matches simulator syntax.

    // verilog-library-flags:("-y . -y ../../ips/axi_ic/synth/") 
so this should work
    // verilog-library-flags:("-y . -y ../../ips/axi_ic/*/") 
this won't
    // verilog-library-flags:("-y . -y ../../ips/*/") 

However some simulators don't support wildcarding (with -y), and it can slow things down, so would probably discourage doing this.
