Abstract

FUNSTRUX has been extended to extract behavioral level models for a commercial simulator directly from a circuit netlist. Recent advances include: a retargetable code generation mechanism; an object-oriented control structure; handling of initialization values; and improved run-time and space requirements of the abstraction process. We discuss some of the issues that arise in translating from LISP to 'C' and from one functional paradigm to another.
