RES-50101: Intra-Clock False Path Reset Synchronizer

Description

Violations of this rule identify a reset synchronizer that was identified from the destination of an intra-clock false path. To preserve the original behaviour of IP, the Intel Quartus Prime software conservatively treats such transfers as asynchronous, despite being between the same clock.

Recommendation

If an intra-clock false path is required and does not need to be followed by a reset synchronizer, use set_false_path -no_synchronizer to cut the path, instead of set_false_path .
