FLI function definitions

---

This chapter describes the FLI functions in detail, explaining their purpose, syntax, and usage. For information on creating and using foreign architectures and subprograms, see "Introduction" . For a categorical listing of FLI functions, see "FLI functions by category" .

Keep in mind the following caveats which are described further in the appropriate function descriptions:

• There are several FLI functions that work only during certain simulator phases (e.g., mti_GetVarImage()), or only when called from a certain context (e.g., from either inside of a process (mti_GetNextNextEventTime()) or outside of a process (mti_GetNextEventTime())).
• There are others that have slightly different behavior depending on when they are called and from which context (e.g., mti_GetCurrentRegion() and mti_GetCallingRegion()).
• There are also several FLI functions that can be used on Verilog regions in addition to VHDL regions (e.g., mti_GetTopRegion()).

Note: Function arguments are required unless marked as optional.
