Abstract:
A method of designating an output â€œdon't careâ€ , comprising the steps of:(a) reading first data about a logic circuit in which outputs associated a plurality of inputs are described; (b) reading â€œdon't careâ€  indicating data which outputs a predetermined logic value in response only to a specific input among said plurality of inputs; (c) converting said first data into second data having a form conforming to an application; (d) converting said â€œdon't careâ€  indicating data into third data having said form; (e) coupling said plurality of inputs in said second data to associated inputs in said third data; and (f) detecting an output in said second data which output is associated with an input in response to which said predetermined logic value is output from said â€œdon't careâ€  indicating data.
