Abstract
A system evaluates a hierarchical name set such as names produced by hardware descriptor language (HDL) synthesis and generates shorter, unambiguous names for each of the hierarchical names in the name set. A directed graph and/or a tree is generated using a hierarchical name set. Each name is evaluated using the directed graph and/or tree to identify hierarchical components or tokens of the name required in the short name. Name length can be reduced even in a system having large numbers of common hierarchies.
