The new option allows parameter, net and events to be used before
declaration. With variants
-gno-strict-net-declaration for nets and events,
-gno-strict-parameter-declaration for parameters.
With `-ggno-strict-parameter-declaration` a warning is issued for
parameter use before declaration. This warning suppressed with
the new class `-Wno-declaration-after-use`, instead of `-Wno-anachronisms`.
The standards requires that parameters must be declared
before they are used. Using -gno-strict-parameter-declaration
will allow using a parameter before declaration, e.g., in a port
declaration, with the parameter declared in the body of the
module. Prior to version 13 this was allowed, so there is a large body
of existing code depending on the pre version 13 behaviour.
Embed the Icarus Verilog documentation, and format it so that the
Sphinx tools can process it into html or other formats. This will
make the documentation easier to keep up to date with the actual
software.
