Description

Defines the current synthesis or implementation run, or returns the name of the current run. The current run is the one automatically selected when the Synthesize or Implement commands are launched.

You can use the get_runs command to determine the list of defined runs in the current design.

Arguments

-synthesis - (Optional) Specifies that the current_run command should set or return the name of the current synthesis run.

-implementation - (Optional) Specifies that the current_run command should set or return the name of the current implementation run. This is the default used when neither -synthesis or -implementation are specified.

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

<run> - (Optional) Sets the name of the synthesis or implementation run to make the current run.

Examples

The following example defines the synth_1 run as the current_run:
current_run synth_1
Note: The -synthesis and -implementation arguments are not required because the name allows the tool to identify the specific run of interest.
The following command returns the name of the current implementation run:
current_run -implementation -quiet
