cmp start (Tcl Script API Function)

The cmp start function has the following format:

Syntax cmp start <misc> [<compilation type>] [<file name>]

Arguments

<misc>	The string `compile`, `timing_analysis`, `analysis_and_elaboration`, `analysis_and_synthesis`, `SignalProbe^™`, `design_assistant`, or `generate_hardcopy_files`. You can also use empty double quotation marks (""); the Quartus^® II software treats these empty double quotation marks as if they were the string `compile`.
<compilation type>	An optional string describing the type of compilation you want to run. This argument must be one of two values: `timing_analysis` or `analysis_and_elaboration`. If you do not use this argument, the Compiler performs a full compilation.
<file name>	The name of the design file for the design you want to compile; an optional argument.

Return Value

Code Name	Code	String Return
TCL_OK	0	`1`
TCL_OK	0	`0`
TCL_ERROR	1	`project has no active compiler setting`
TCL_ERROR	1	`no project is currently open`

Description Starts the specified type of compilation for the design described in the specified design file.
