Embedding comments in parameter lists

If you need verilog-mode to properly parse an included file that has multi-line parameter lists with embedded comments, then this simple patch might be helpful. As mentioned elsewhere, the current best approach is to list each parameter in a separate verilog statement. But I was dealing with a generated file so that was not an easy option for me. This 2 line edit did the trick, and allowed verilog-mode to successfully read in my parameters.

Well done. I'll take this, but first please post an example that needs it so I can add it to the tests (or it'll break in a year ;)

Thanks!

I've attached 2 verilog files that demonstrate the patch. Put them both in the same directory, and then recompute AUTOs in testMultiLineParamsInclude.v. You should see an incorrect auto-sense list without the patch, and a correct list with the patch.

testMultiLineParams.v - module (417 Bytes)

testMultiLineParamsInclude.v - include (148 Bytes)
