Integrated circuit design system and method using preprocessor which changes hardware description in accordance with configuration

摘要

A preprocessor (23) processes a first circuit description file (21) containing a first hardware description language and a second hardware description language on the basis of a preprocessor control file (22). The preprocessor (23) converts at least a portion described by the first hardware description language in the first circuit description file (21) into the second hardware description language to create and output a second circuit description file (24). <IMAGE>
