Verilog duplicate continuous assignments

Sigasi warns if a signal is assigned a value in multiple continuous assignments (rule 101). Duplicate continuous assignments are optimized away during synthesis. Having duplicates decreases the readability of the code and may lead to mistakes.

VERILOG
module bad_sumff(input clk, rst_n, logic[31:0] d1, d2, output logic[31:0] q);
    wire logic[31:0] sum = d1 + d2;

    assign sum = d1 + d2;

    always @(posedge clk or negedge rst_n)
    if (~rst_n)
        q <= 32'b0;
    else
        q <= sum;

    assign sum = d1 + d2;
endmodule

Rule configuration

This rule can be disabled for your project, or its severity and parameters can be modified in the project linting settings. Alternatively, it can be manually configured using one of the following templates, depending on the type of project you use.

  • For Modular Projects, add these entries to your project's .sigasi/settings.json settings file. To scope the settings to a specific folder or file instead of the whole project, place them inside an @override block; to scope them to a specific target, place them inside a @targets block.

    JSONC
    {
        "verilog.rules.101.severity": "{ERROR|WARNING|INFO|IGNORE}"
    }
  • For Classic Projects, add the VHDL lines to .settings/com.sigasi.hdt.vhdl.linting.prefs and the Verilog/SystemVerilog lines to .settings/com.sigasi.hdt.verilog.linting.prefs:

    PREFS
    101/severity/${path}={error|warning|info|ignore}
