When a previously undeclared name is used in a port connection, a continuous assignment, or an alias, it will be implicitly declared as a scalar net of the default nettype. Such implicit declarations often arise from coding errors, such as a typo in the name or an attempt to reference something that is not available in the current scope. For this reason, all implicit net declarations will be marked as warnings.
module inner(input wire logic x, y);
...
endmodule
module error_prone_code;
wire logic declared_net = 0;
inner inner_inst(declared_net, implicit_net);
endmoduleRule 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.jsonsettings file. To scope the settings to a specific folder or file instead of the whole project, place them inside an@overrideblock; to scope them to a specific target, place them inside a@targetsblock.JSONC{ "verilog.rules.97.severity": "{ERROR|WARNING|INFO|IGNORE}" }For Classic Projects, add the VHDL lines to
.settings/com.sigasi.hdt.vhdl.linting.prefsand the Verilog/SystemVerilog lines to.settings/com.sigasi.hdt.verilog.linting.prefs:PREFS97/severity/${path}={error|warning|info|ignore}
