verilog-mode v2019-05-06-28bee25-vpo;

package a_pkg; typedef struct packed{ logic [7:0] a; logic b; } t_a_field; endpackage

module a #(parameter A=2) ( input a_pkg::t_a_field [A-1:0] userdata //
);

using autoinst in other module: a

(

    .A(2)
    )
u_a
  (
   /*AUTOINST*/

);

Result: AUTOINST of a will result of an error .a_pkg::t_a_field(a_pkg::t_a_field/.[A-1:0]/),

Current workaround Use a non packed array module a #(parameter A=2) ( input a_pkg::t_a_field userdata [A-1:0]//
);

You need to tell Verilog-Mode what are types. For example add to the end of your module and submodule files:

// Local Variables: // verilog-typedef-regexp: "^t_" // End:
