Abstract
Disclosed is a program for creating a checking-statement which can be subsequently used to validate interconnections between logic blocks in a circuit design. The checking-statement is created by taking a description of how logic blocks in a circuit design are associated to one another (if at all), and cross referencing the description with rule statements specific to each logic block defining the allowable connections between the specific logic block and other logic blocks.
