i was really never explained the difference between the three. i would really appreciate someone's explanation on what happens during compile time, run time and elaboration time and when those stages take place.
can you elaborate more on what happens during the elaboration time and when does it take place? is it after compile time and before run time or it is before the compile time? also what do you mean by connection error in elaboration time?
I am also interested in this, does elaboration time is after or before compilation time. I think it is after compile time. Is this the time when compiler directives are checked ??
what happens at elaboration time? in your previous post you said to seek for a connection error during elaboration time, what error is it and what does it mean?
Cyboman,
During Elaboration phase, my understanding is the compiled code (took place during compilation phase) will be converted to machine understandable format.
i think i know what instantiation means but i don't know what is meant by connectivity? would you be able to give an example of when connectivity is broken/fixed?
Hi cyboman
I asked onw who is working on modelsim QA to get the answer I sent before. However, according to my understanding, connectivity mentioned means connectivity between instantiated components, Checking port widths, checking port existence and so on ...
