Subject: (ESNUG 263 #5) Seeking Tips For Efficient Adder Carry Out Designs

> A question for ESNUG readers.  In February, at SNUG, I learned about the

John:

In your recent ESNUG someone mentioned that using the hdlin_use_cin flag 
is helpful.  Can you throw more light on it? (e.g. what does it do, what
are the benefits, any particular info on the most appropriate time 
to use it?)

Thanks,
