Hi, All -
Proposed BNF Fix for Verilog-2001 Parameter Errata
We (I) made a mistake in the Verilog-2001 BNF concerning the definition of
the module_parameter_port_list and vendors are starting to implement these
parameter port lists incorrectly. We need to fix this in the Verilog-2001
Standard (issue an errata notice), but we also need to make sure that the
errata does not propagate to the IEEE Verilog-Synthesis (1364.1) and
SystemVerilog (Accellera) standards to compound the problem.
Attached is a full description of the problem and a proposed fix.
Please read and respond.
Regards - Cliff Cummings
