Re: gEDA-user: Compilation problem with icarus 0.8.1?

[Mark Schellhorn]

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your response!
I tried using a sized reg for m as well but I still get the error:
module junk;
   integer d, e;
   reg [31:0] m;
   reg [63:0]         a;
   reg [(512*8)-1:0]  b;
   reg [2:0]          c;
   initial begin
      b = 0;
      c = 0;
      d = 0;
      m = 0;
      e = 9'd256 + 9'd32;
      // This one works
      a = b >> {(e - d[4:0] - (9'd8 - c) + {(m - 1'b1),3'o0}),3'o0};
      // This one doesn't
      a = b >> {(9'd256 + 9'd32 - d[4:0] - (9'd8 - c) + {(m - 
1'b1),3'o0}),3'o0};
      $display("%m : 0x%h",a);
   end
endmodule
produces:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] DT_mark_cosim]$ iverilog junk.v
junk.v:22: error: operand of concatenation has indefinite width: 
((('d288)-(+d[4:0]))-((9'b000001000)-(c[2:0])))+({(m[31:0])-(1'b1), 3'b000})
1 error(s) during elaboration.
Best regards,
    Mark

The problem is "m - 1'b1". The variable "m" is an integer which has
an indefinite width. (For example, it can have different widths on
different compilers.) Replace that with "reg signed [31:0]" if you
want to be explicit about its size.
Yes, other compilers will accept this, but they are all wrong:-)
