.. _MB_PRINT_STATS:

MB_PRINT_STATS
----------------

This parameter toggles whether the bitiwdth minimization pass prints a report 
showing the number of bits reduced. The reported numbers are an over-estimation 
of the savings since synthesis performs some bitwidth optimization internally 
already.

Since the bitwidth minimization anlysis is always performed, this report 
reflects the actual number of bits saved only if :ref:`MB_MINIMIZE_HW` is turned 
on.
