xvlog linter

Lint Verilog and SystemVerilog files directly in VS Code using Xilinx's xvlog tool, part of Vivado and Vivado Lab Edition. Errors and warnings appear inline in your editor and in the Problems panel as you work.

Requirements

xvlog must be accessible - either on your system PATH or configured via xvlog.path

Features

Lint on open and save for .v, .vh, .sv, and .svh files
Inline diagnostics - errors and warnings shown directly in the editor gutter and Problems panel
SystemVerilog support - automatically passes -sv flag for .sv/.svh files
Configurable include paths - resolve workspace-relative or absolute include directories
Manual lint command - trigger linting on demand via the Command Palette

Extension Settings

Setting	Type	Default	Description
`xvlog.path`	`string`	`""`	Directory containing the `xvlog` binary. Leave empty if `xvlog` is on your PATH.
`xvlog.linting.enabled`	`boolean`	`true`	Enable or disable the linter.
`xvlog.linting.arguments`	`string`	`""`	Extra CLI arguments passed to `xvlog`.
`xvlog.linting.includePath`	`string[]`	`[]`	Include paths. Relative paths resolve from the workspace root.
`xvlog.linting.runAtFileLocation`	`boolean`	`false`	Run `xvlog` in the file's directory instead of the workspace root.

Example `.vscode/settings.json`

{
  "xvlog.path": "/tools/Xilinx/Vivado/2023.2/bin",
  "xvlog.linting.enabled": true,
  "xvlog.linting.arguments": "--define SIMULATION",
  "xvlog.linting.includePath": [
    "rtl/include",
    "ip/headers"
  ],
  "xvlog.linting.runAtFileLocation": false
}

Commands

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and search for:

Command	Description
`Verilog: xvlog: Lint Current File`	Manually trigger linting on the active file
`Verilog: xvlog: Clear Diagnostics`	Remove all xvlog diagnostics from the Problems panel

Known Issues

xvlog does not support linting a file in isolation when it has unresolved cross-file dependencies - use xvlog.linting.includePath to point at your include directories.
