• Lukas Pinkowski (3/15) Sep 04 2005 Thanks! I studied almost the whole documentation, and I missed this one!

Hi all,

while working on my project, I had the idea of a static report statement,
that writes some text to the command line, when compiling a module.
Something along the lines of:

report("TODO: clean this up!");

Translating to:
foo.d(120): TODO: clean this up!

I rather forget/oversee TODOs in comments (despite them being highlighted),
and I am quite too lazy to produce and manage an extra TODO.txt. It's
better when you are constantly reminded of them, rather then to search on
your own for them.

This could be also used along with assert:

assert(i!=0) report("i is not 0!");

This could look like
foo.d(120): AssertError: i is not 0!

I saw this was used in VHDL, which was quite neat.

Walter really thought of everything :-)
