Description & Motivation
Sometimes one may wish to explicitly drive a
Z
(floating) on a signal and have that show up in the generated SystemVerilog (e.g. testbench or behavioral code). There was an assertion in the SV generation to prevent an accidentalz
from showing up on a floating signal (left undriven). However, if someone explicitly connects a signal toConst('z')
(for example) in a way that can't be collapsed away (e.g. in amux
), we should just generate with theZ
in there rather than fail with an assertion. This does not guarantee that everyZ
in the ROHD side will show up as aZ
in the SV side, it just enables explicit floating.Related Issue(s)
