8.3 Predefined Rulesets

Verissimo can be run either with a custom ruleset or one of the predefined rulesets. The available predefined rulesets are the following:

Ruleset	Description	Argument
All Rules	All the available rules from the rulepool	all
Basic Rules	Rules that are a good starting point in the absence of an existing guideline or custom ruleset	basic
UVM Compliance Rules	Rules related to UVM architecture compliance	compliance
Dead Code Rules	Rules related to dead code detection: empty statements, unused elements, etc.	dead_code
Non-Standard Rules	Rules responsible for detecting non-standard constructs or syntax	non_standard
Performance Rules	Rules related to issues that can lead to poor simulator performance	performance
RTL Rules	Rules related to RTL design issues	rtl
UVM IEEE 1800.2-2020 Compliance Rules	Rules that flag the usage of removed, deprecated, non-standard UVM IEEE API. This ruleset is useful in helping with migration to UVM IEEE.	uvm_ieee

To run the predefined rulesets in batch mode simply use the associated argument (-all, -basic, etc) instead of -ruleset. By default if no -ruleset or no predefined ruleset argument is used, the Basic Rules will be run. In batch mode to generate the ruleset XML file use the -gen_ruleset_xml argument with the corresponding predefined ruleset argument:

verissimo.sh -gen_ruleset_xml -basic

For the associated HTML documentation of a predefined ruleset use the -gen_ruleset_doc argument:

verissimo.sh -gen_ruleset_doc -performance

To generate these file from DVT go to the Verissimo menu and go to Generate Doc... or Generate XML and select de desired ruleset.
