An important advantage of program blocks is its ability to nest
within a module. This winds up also allowing modules to nest, which
is legal but presumably less used feature.
Remove the #ident and $Log$ strings from all the header files and
almost all of the C/C++ source files. I think it is better to get
this done all at once, then to wait for each of the files to be
touched and edited in unrelated patches.
Verilog-2001 only allows a single generate item within a generate-
endgenerate region, but allowed one to collect generate schemes with
begin/end blocks. Verilog-2005 cleaned up that mess, and it is the
2005 syntax that Icarus Verilog implements. This patch detects the
anachronistic use of begin/end within the generate region, ignores
the begin/end words, and prints a warning that the user is using an
obsolete syntax.
Print out a warning if extra digits are given for sized binary, octal
or hex constants. Decimal constants are very hard since we never
calculate the true number of bits the digits represent, so for now
decimal constants are not checked.
