See #�.

It is not related to spaces, as "q <= 1 'hx" is a number.

Hi redmine,
Does this issue resolved in issue 256?
we always recognize "q <= #1 'hx;" as "q <= (#1) 'hx", not "q <= #(1 'hx)".
Because these statements are in a lib file, I really don't like to update it.

I checked in page 20 of "IEEE Std 1364-2001.pdf", it is illegal to have a space between "1" and "'hx" to express a hex number "1'hx". Am I right?

Spaces are definitely legal. Page 20 of my 2001 spec isn't even about this topic, so I'm not sure which version you are referring to. Anyhow they are separate tokens per Appendix A:

hex_number ::= [ size ] hex_base hex_value

The problem is as Verilog-Perl was originally written the number parsing is done at lex stage, and fixing that is a big change that will break other's parsers vs. this one bug.

BTW if you would like to attack fixing it, I can provide pointers of how to start. Alternatively you could write a custom Verilog::Preproc that searches-and-replaces as the code is read in.

Sorry, you are right, it is in page 7(I used the page number showed by pdf reader). Maybe I made some misunderstandings of the description.

size ::= non_zero_unsigned_number
non_zero_unsigned_number* ::= non_zero_decimal_digit{_|decimal_digit}

(* means Embedded spaces are illegal)

No space is allowed in "size" or between "[size]" and "hex_base"

Thank you for your reminding of the perl script change.
It is better you can show me how to change it in flex script. But I only learn something basic on flex and bison last weekend.
