Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks are available for all classes, modules, methods, fields, signals, macros, etc. in the source code files that DVT analyzes in your project.

Go to Declaration

Place editor cursor over an identifier and use the Go to Declaration command to go to the declaration of the element.

Go to Definition

Place editor cursor over an identifier while holding down Ctrl. The identifier becomes a hyperlink, which jumps to the definition of the element.

You can also use the Go to Definition command.

Go to Type definition

Open Design Breadcrumb Instance

Available only for a design element under cursor which is instantiable.

Place editor cursor over an element and use the DVT: Open Design Breadcrumb Instance command to jump to the corresponding instance from design.

Hyperlinks in Comments

You can define hyperlinks in comments using the @link or @see pragmas, for example:

// @link uvm_pkg::run_test
// For more details @see spi_if.miso and @see spi_if.mosi

Hover the hierarchical id specified after the pragma with the mouse cursor while holding down Ctrl and Click to go to the element’s declaration.

The hierarchical identifier following @link or @see is of the form:

[<package_name>::<type_name>.<inner_type_name>.]<element_name>

where <element_name> must be a type (class, struct, module, entity, interface, etc.) or a type member (method, field, event, signal, port etc.).

Go to Child Implementation

Place editor cursor on a method name and use the DVT: Go to Child Implementation command to open the implementations which override the method.

Jump to an Imported File

Place the mouse cursor over an imported file while holding down Ctrl. The identifier becomes a hyperlink, which jumps to the file.
