[Iverilog-devel] Command line/file timescale control

[Cary R. <cy...@ya...>]

Feature request 1403406 asked for an option to control the
timescale (units/precision) from the command line. I am
proposing that we allow this option to only set the default
value. This is the value that will be used until a timescale
directive is given or after a resetall directive. So all
this really does is allow the user to change the default
value (Icarus uses 1s/1s).

Does this sound reasonable and is this a complete enough
solution?

For the command file I plan to use +timescale+<value>,
but the most obvious choices for the command line are
already taken (s, S, t or T). Any suggestions for which
flag to use on the command line?

This will be trivial to add given the work I did recently
on the timescale and resetall directives. The hard part is
picking the command line flag!
