Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for performing out of order name resolution in an electronic design language. Embodiments may include receiving, one or more design units associated with an electronic design and registering the one or more design units in a registry database. Embodiments may further include performing local name resolution for each element reference within at least one of the one or more design units. In response to registering, embodiments include identifying at least one element reference upon which local name resolution was not performed and obtaining an appropriate element reference from the registry database. Embodiments may further include reviewing at least one secondary design unit for one or more local declarations and performing local name resolution for one or more remaining element references using a design hierarchy.
