Original Redmine Issue: 1285 from https://www.veripool.org

Original Assignee: Wilson Snyder (@wsnyder)

Building this test code fails...

module test();

string test;

initial begin
    // This works
    int ret = $value$plusargs("test_a=%s", test);  

    // This does not work
    $value$plusargs("test_b=%s", test);
end

endmodule

...with the following error...

%Error: test_task_returns_ignored.sv:11: syntax error, unexpected ';'          
%Error: Exiting due to 1 error(s)      
%Error: Command Failed /usr/local/bin/verilator_bin -sv --cc test_task_returns_ignored.sv

@$value$plusargs()@, and other functions e.g. @$fscanf()@ fail in the same way when the return value is ignored.

Simple enough, mapped all system tasks to be allowed as functions. Thanks for the report.

Fixed in git towards 3.921.
