Subject: [sv-ec] Handling of escaped identifiers.


Hi,

We are facing issues because the Verilog standard is not clear on the
handling of escaped identifiers and the eda tool vendors are having
different interpretations.

Particular problem is that while the VPI call fetches the signal name
prefixed with the escaped identifer, while dumping the VCD for example,
the signal name is not printed with the escape character.

I had already raised this issue and the response was that the standard
is not clear enough. I would like to know whether there is any move to
clarify the standard's position on the escaped identifier.

Thanks.

There is a PTF errata #307 that discusses this issue. It's still
open, the current state of play is here:

The resolution of this is dependent on PTF resolution of errata/307.
In addition, when this is resolved, we should make sure that %m
displays of (possibly escaped) names comply with the conclusions.

Gord.
