set_false_path (::quartus::sdc)

Belongs to ::quartus::sdc 1.5

Specifies a false-path exception, removing (or cutting) paths from
timing analysis.

The -from and -to values are collections of clocks, registers, ports,
pins, or cells in the design.  If the -from or -to values are not
specified, the collection is converted automatically into [get_keepers
*].  It is worth noting that if the counterpart of the unspecified
collection is a clock collection, it is more efficient to explicitly
specify this collection as a clock collection only if the clock
collection also generates the desired assignment.

Applying exceptions between clocks applies the exception from all
register or ports driven by the -from clock to all registers or ports
driven by the -to clock. Applying exceptions between a pair of clocks
is more efficient than for specific node to node or node to clock
paths.

If pin names or collections are used, the -from value must be a clock
pin and the -to value must be any non-clock input pin to a
register. Assignments from clock pins or to and from cells applies to
all registers in the cell or driven by the clock pin.

The -through values are collections of pins or nets in the design. An
exception applied through a node in the design applies only to paths
through the specified node.
TimeQuest allows you to specify the -through argument multiple times to
describe paths that go through multiple points. 
For instance, users can select all paths that go through node X, and then go through node Y. 
This helps you narrow down and select the specific paths that you are interested in.

The -rise_from and -fall_from options can be used in place of the
-from destination nodes. The rise or fall value of the option
indicates that the "from" nodes are driven by the rising or falling
edge of the clock that feeds this node, taking into consideration any
logical inversions along the clock path.  The -from option is the
combination of both rising and falling "from" nodes.  If the "from"
collection is a clock collection, the assignment applies to those
nodes that are driven by the respective rising or falling clock edge.

The -rise_to and -fall_to options behave similarly to the "from"
options described previously. These assignments restrict the given
assignment to only those nodes or clocks that correspond to the
specified rise or fall value, taking into consideration any logical
inversions that are along the clock path.

The -setup and -hold options allow the false path to only be applied
to the corresponding setup/recovery or hold/removal checks. The
default if neither value is specified is to apply the false path to
both -setup and -hold.

The values of the -from, -to, -through, and other similar options are
either collections or a Tcl list of wildcards used to create
collections of appropriate types. The values used must follow standard
Tcl or TimeQuest-extension substitution rules.  See help for the
use_timequest_style_escaping command for details.
