Computing AUTOs with ifdef'd parameter list fails.

[sjalloq]

I've just been setting up a flow to run all our code through verilog-batch-auto-diff and have found some syntax that verilog-mode doesn't like. The following testcase shows the code:

module submod (/*AUTOARG*/);

    parameter TEST = 0;

    input logic clk;

endmodule

module test(/*AUTOARG*/);

    input logic clk;

    submod

    `ifdef PARAMS
    #( .TEST (1) )
    `endif

    u_submod (/*AUTOINST*/);

endmodule

And the output from running

Processing test.sv
%Error: test.sv:20: Can’t locate ‘`endif’ module definition (Expanded macro to endif)
    Check the verilog-library-directories variable.
    I looked in (if not listed, doesn’t exist):
    test.sv

The code in question is pretty horrific so we will likely rewrite it anyway but wanted to report it.

Verilog-mode intentionally allows

submod `mydefine"

and ` ifdef is equivalent to a define as far as this goes as Verilog-mode otherwise ignores ifdefs. So this is unlikely to ever get fixed, but thanks for reporting as it might help others out.

I suspect putting the ifdef inside the #( will fix it.

OK, understood and thanks for the fast response.
