Unable to distinguish detailed error using iverilog #8

Hi @manucorporat , The linter-verilog on my Mac could only distinguish "syntax error" without indicating what it is that cause the error as your screenshot on the setting page of linter-verilog. I could not find anything such as your verilog - plus. How did you make it?

I'm currently use OSX 10.12 and install it from brew. Thanks a lot.

Hi @TianzeWang,

Unfortunately, "syntax error" is all that iverilog returns sometimes in its error descriptions. This is a limitation of iverilog, not this package. If you're looking for something more, I'd suggest trying a different compiler. For example, you could use Verilator with linter-verilator or linter-veriloghdl.
