SystemVerilog Lexical Diff Tool

verible-verilog-diff compares two SystemVerilog source files and reports the first lexical difference. Equivalence is determined by the comparison --mode.

• --mode=format Checks for equivalence of text ignoring whitespaces.
• --mode=obfuscate Checks for equivalence including spaces, and verifies lengths of identifiers.

Equivalence analysis also looks inside macro definition bodies and macro call arguments, recursively.

Exit codes:

• 0: files are equivalent
• 1: files differ, or contain lexical errors
• 2: error reading file
