To better analyze optimization results, use the -debug_log option to see additional details of the logic affected by opt_design optimization. The log displays additional messages of logic that is reduced due to constant values and loadless logic that is subject to removal.

The log also displays detailed messages about optimizations that are prevented due to constraints. Use the -verbose option to see full details of all logic optimization performed by opt_design. The -verbose option is off by default due to the potential for a large volume of additional messages. Use the -verbose option if you believe it might be helpful.

Important: The opt_design command operates on the in-memory design. If run multiple times, the subsequent run optimizes the results of the previous run. Therefore you must reload the synthesized design before adding either the -debug_log or -verbose options.
