Interpreting the Name Field

The Name, Under(%) and In(%) fields appear in both the ranked and hierarchical views. These fields are interpreted identically in both views. Typically a Name consists of an HDL file and line number pair. Most useful names consist of a line of VHDL or Verilog source code. If you use a PLI/VPI or FLI routine, then the name of the C function that implements that routine can also appear in the name field.

vsim is a stripped executable file, so that any functions inside of it will be credited to the line of code that uses the function.

The hierarchical view opens with all levels displayed. You can collapse the hierarchical view by clicking the boxes next to the high-level names. At this time, the hierarchical view will not remember which levels are opened or closed when data is reloaded. By default, hierarchical levels are opened every time data is reloaded.
