About:
Svlint is a linter for SystemVerilog code that enforces style and coding conventions. It helps teams maintain consistent, readable hardware designs by automatically checking for common issues and deviations from best practices. The tool integrates into CI/CD pipelines to ensure code quality across projects.
Key Features:
  • Configurable rule sets for custom linting policies
  • Support for SystemVerilog IEEE 1800 standard
  • Fast parsing and efficient error reporting
  • Easy integration with build systems and editors
Use Cases:
  • Enforcing coding standards in hardware design teams
  • Automated code quality checks in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • verilator – Verilator is primarily a simulator with linting capabilities, while Svlint focuses specifically on linting and style enforcement
  • slang – Slang is a SystemVerilog parser and compiler with linting features; Svlint offers a more focused linting workflow
