Typedefs

Configuration

First make sure that typedefs has been included in verilog-ext-feature-list before running verilog-ext-mode-setup.

Then, it is needed to set workspace variables for file parsing and gather project typedefs through one of these methods:

• M-x verilog-ext-workspace-typedef-update RET
• M-x verilog-ext-workspace-typedef-update-async RET

A typedef database will be created and cached for future sessions.

At this point, two new things should be working:

• User types and class object declarations should be highlighted
• Running verilog-pretty-declarations should also align these types

Background

This feature automates the process of extracting typedefs/classes from a set of files in directories and update variables to improve syntax highlighting and declaration alignment.

By default verilog-pretty-declarations and verilog-pretty-expr will only align built-in types. If you want it to also work on user defined types it is needed to specify which are those types. This feature automates the process of extracting current workspace typedefs.
