[Iverilog-devel] bugs/enhancements in iverilog

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

I have found a couple things that could be considered enhancements, but are clearly not supported by the standard. My question is should we have these enhancements controlled by a flag of some sort so people can restrict Icarus to only accept what is supported by the standard? For example pullup/pulldown should only support a single port. @* is really a single token and the binary ~& and ~| are not in the standard. There may be more. Is some new strict flag the correct thing for this? I think @* not being a single token is a bug and probably should be fixed. I'm personally of the opinion only standard/commonly supported functionality should be enabled by default and an extension flag should be used to enable the rest of this if it is kept.

This would likely require reworking some of the tests to pull out the enhancements to have them be in a separate file.
Thoughts?
