How can I keep instance during synthesis stage

Hi,

My source code is a vqm file which generated by Synplify, and using Quartus Pro 21.1 to do place and route.

I found that some buffers would be optimized by Quartus, and these buffers are not registers.

What could I do if I would like to keep these buffers during fitter stage in Quartus?

Thanks for any suggestions.

      Hi SyafieqS,

      I modified the vqm file manually and used (* keep *) attribute to prevent my buffer from being removed.

      Thank you so much for your helping.
