For those of you who might be interested... I found the bug in my verilog code that was triggering the crash. I had a spelling mistake in one of my nets that resulted in a net being implicitly declared. Personally, I don't think that this should trigger a crash of the compiler (and perhaps it doesn't on other systems), but I'm past my current hurdle.
I guess I'm looking for recommendations as to what I should do next. Some ideas that come to mind are: 1) Add a page to the iverilog wiki outlining some tips for debugging iverilog (such as the use of the "-v" flag, the use of the IVERILOG_ICONFIG environment variable, the importance of spelling IVERILOG_ICONFIG correctly, etc...) If such information already exists somewhere, then I missed it, and I probably don't need to replicate it. 2) Continue to debug ivl to determine why this particular assertion is triggered when this particular net is implicitly defined when running ivl on my particular machine. From what I've seen of the code so far, there will be a fairly steep learning curve associated with figuring this out, but I am probably up to the task (although the time commitment is somewhat scary.) 3) Send some combination of my current verilog code and/or the intermediate files to somebody else to see if the problem can be replicated on another platform. Ideally that somebody would be intimately familiar with the code and would be able to spot the bug in less than 5 minutes (assuming that it is reproducible). 4) Narrow my code down to the barest minimum set of code that reproduces the crash and try steps 2 or 3. Any suggestions? --wpd _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
