Predefined variables in Synopsys Design Compiler

[Z80]

There are hundreds of them, how many do you use frequently? I'm asking because as part of my training program I was given the task of browsing though the variables and write a script containing the relevant ones, and the impression is that when I'll actually need one I won't be able to remember it, because there's zillions of them and as a beginner it's hard to tell which ones are important, and remember that there is variable x this does this and variable y that does that. So, please tell me, how many of them do you currently use?

Hi Z80,

The variables I ofen used no more than 30. You don't need to remember then all,

you can man then in dc_shell-t when you need the details.

I have counted and I have no less that 160 variables in my script. One question: can you share the script in which you set the variables you use?

if you use synopsys 2002/10 and after
'SYNTHESIS' is defined.
you should use
`ifndef SYNTHESIS
`endif
to replace
//synopsys translate_off
//synopsys translate_on

wkong_zhu, sorry, but it seems that you didn't even read my question. Please do and answer only if you have something useful to say.
