+// DESCRIPTION: Verilator: Verilog Test module
+//
+// A test case for parameterized module.
+//
+// When a module is instantiatied with parameter, there will be two modules in
+// the tree and eventually one will be removed after param and deadifyModules.
+//
+// This test is to check that the removal of dead module will not cause
+// compilation error. Possible error was/is seen as:
+//
+// pure virtual method called
+// terminate called without an active exception
+// %Error: Verilator aborted.  Consider trying --debug --gdbbt
