Replicate Function
-------------------------------

**Syntax**

``#pragma LEGUP function replicate``

**Description**

This pragma specifies a function to be replicated every time it is called. 
By default, when the circuit is not pipelined, LegUp creates a single instance for each function which is shared across multiple calls to the function. 
When using this pragma on the function, LegUp will create a new instance of the function for every function call.


**Position**

At the beginning of the function definition block.

**Examples**

.. code-block:: c

  int sum(int *a) {
  #pragma LEGUP function replicate
    ...
  }
