The signed version of the power operation in vvp should only be used if the exponent is signed. Both signed and unsigned versions will produce the correct result regardless of the type of the base operand, provided it has been appropriately extended to the result size.
THE VVP TARGET SYMBOL NAME CONVENTIONS There are some naming conventions that the vvp target uses for generating symbol names. * wires and regs Nets and variables are named V_<full-name> where <full-name> is the full hierarchical name of the signal. * Logic devices Logic devices (and, or, buf, bufz, etc.) are named L_<full_name>. In this case the symbol is attached to a functor that is the output of the logic device. GENERAL FUNCTOR WEB STRUCTURE The net of gates, signals and resolvers is formed from the input design. The basic structure is wrapped around the nexus, which is represented by the ivl_nexus_t. Each nexus represents a resolved value. The input of the nexus is fed by a single driver. If the nexus in the design has multiple drivers, the drivers are first fed into a resolver (or a tree of resolvers) to form a single output that is the nexus. The nexus, then, feeds its output to the inputs of other gates, or to the .net objects in the design.
