2.5. Output Control

The following switches allow additional control over the output generated by the binder.

-e

Output complete list of elaboration-order dependencies, showing the reason for each dependency. This output can be rather extensive but may be useful in diagnosing problems with elaboration order. The output is written to stdout.

-l

Output chosen elaboration order. The output is written to stdout.

-o file

Set name of output file to file instead of the normal b_prog.c default. You would normally give file an extension of .c because it will be a C source program.

-c

Check only. Do not generate the binder output file. In this mode the binder performs all error checks but does not generate an output file.
