SublimeLinter-contrib-modelsim
================================

This linter plugin for [SublimeLinter](https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter) provides an interface to `vcom`/`vlog` - VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog compilers provided with [ModelSim](https://www.mentor.com/products/fv/modelsim/) and QuestaSim which provide a linting mode. `vcom` will be used with "VHDL" files , `vlog` with "Verilog" and "SystemVerilog" files.

## Installation

SublimeLinter must be installed in order to use this plugin. 

Please use [Package Control](https://packagecontrol.io) to install the linter plugin.

Before installing this plugin, you must ensure that `vcom`/`vlog` are installed on your system.

In order for `vcom`/`vlog` to be executed by SublimeLinter, you must ensure that its path is available to SublimeLinter. The docs cover [troubleshooting PATH configuration](http://sublimelinter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/troubleshooting.html#finding-a-linter-executable).

    "linters": {
        "vcom": {
            "args": ["-2008", "-lint", "-check_synthesis"],
            "working_dir": "$project_path/../sim"
        },
        "vlog": {
            "args": ["-sv", "-lint", "-check_synthesis"],
            "working_dir": "$project_path/../sim"

    "SublimeLinter.linters.vcom.working_dir": "$project_path/../sim",
    "SublimeLinter.linters.vlog.args": ["-sv", "-lint", "-check_synthesis"],
    "SublimeLinter.linters.vlog.working_dir": "$project_path/../sim"
},
```
