Verible is a suite of SystemVerilog developer tools, including a parser,
style-linter, and formatter.
The Verible project's main mission is to parse SystemVerilog
(IEEE 1800-2017) (as standardized in the SV-LRM) for a wide variety of
applications, including developer tools.
It was born out of a need to parse un-preprocessed source files, which is
suitable for single-file applications like style-linting and formatting.
In doing so, it can be adapted to parse preprocessed source files, which is
what real compilers and toolchains require.
The spirit of the project is that no-one should ever have to develop a
SystemVerilog parser for their own application, because developing a
standard-compliant parser is an enormous task due to the syntactic
complexity of the language. Verible's parser is also regularly tested
against an ever-growing suite of (tool-independent) language compliance
tests at https://symbiflow.github.io/sv-tests/.
A lesser (but notable) objective is that the language-agnostic components
of Verible be usable for rapidly developing language support tools for
other languages.
