With the current Emacs:
- Emacs itself (outside Verilog-mode) needs to know .va is a Verilog file. You can either add mode comments inside your file (best) - see https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Choosing-Modes.html
- Or you can set Emacs to know .sv is a verilog file with auto-mode-alist, e.g. see https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/636/how-do-i-automatically-load-a-mode-for-a-specific-set-of-file-extensions
I'm suspecting .va is fairly standard naming for Verilog AMS? If so I can update Emacs itself so future versions of Emacs will recognize .va - presuming it isn't already claimed by another language. Note it would be a while before this propagates to your OS (likely a year or more) so you'd still need the steps above for now.

Hi,
I have a colleague trying to use AUTOINST on some .va files. We had to add a verilog-library-extensions variable to get it to work from within emacs but it still doesn't seem to work in batch mode.
Running 'emacs --batch.va -f verilog-batch-auto' results in a 'Symbol's function definition is void' error. Is there something extra I need to add to get the batch command working?
Cheers.
