You're missing a parenthesis in the second to last line. If you look at Messages in your interactive session you should see a similar message, it likely works because you already have another buffer with the submodule and finds it that way.

Hi Wilson,

Thanks for your response. However, I don't think thats the issue.
Looks like I made a typo while reporting it here.

To check your observation, I removed the variable part altogether and had something like following:

module example_shell (/AUTOARG/)
/AUTOINOUTMODULE("example")/
endmodule

module example (*******)
full definition
endmodule

where both shell and primary module definitions were totally inside a single file.
Here also, we saw that interactively C-c C-a worked but batch command did not.

Thanks for your interest and response.

Regards,
Sumit

Ah, the correct batch line is:

emacs file.sv —batch -l verilog-mode.el -f verilog-batch-auto

(See the help page on verilog-auto for others.)

Hi All,

In my master file which is used to create shell files, I have some 'includes which define some variable values.

To expand the 'define variables in my shell file, I used "// verilog-auto-read-includes:t" at the bottom of my shell file pre update, however when the shell file gets created I only get the port definitions with variables and content of 'include files is not used to expand the actual input or output port information.

Getting:
input [`NUMBER_OF_BITS-1:0] port_in

Expecting:
input [127:0] port_in

Please let me know if I need more in my setup.

Regards,
Sumit

Defines are not used for AUTOINOUTMODULE, only for filename resolution and AUTOINST/AUTOWIRE, sorry.
