Patent attributes
The present disclosure relates to defining and processing hardware description language (HDL) groups. Embodiments may include mapping, using a processor, a set of tool-specific objects into a group graph with one or more groups. Embodiments may also include generating a search order associated with each group. The search order associated with each group may be based upon the hierarchical design configuration of the group graph. Embodiments may further include identifying undefined references from within a first group within the group graph and binding defined references from within the first group to electronic circuit design components. Embodiments may include identifying the undefined references from within a second group within the group graph. The second group may be selected based upon the undefined references and the search order associated with the first group.
