Vim can not recognize comment "//end" when autoindent full verilog code

Question

I'm now using gvim to write verilog code. When i use the auto indent full text function (command: gg=G), gvim starts to auto indent the full text. However, gvim can recognize "// begin" but can not recognize "// end", which leads to wrong code indents. e.g.(after input command gg=G):

always@(posedge iClk) begin
    some codes.....
    if(condition....) begin
        some codes....
    end
    //if(condition..) begin
        //some commented out codes...
        //end
        if(condition...) begin
            some codes...
        end
    end

Gvim can recognize the begin in //if(condition) begin, and auto indents the next line //some commented out code.... But when comes to //end, gvim falls to recognize and makes wrong code indents to all the codes below the //end.

Could someone tell me how to solve this problem, please?

This looks like a bug with the standard verilog indent function, part of the standard vim distribution at runtime/indent/verilog.vim.

A search for verilog indent files on www.vim.org shows four options, including one labeled "bugfixes to vim indent for verilog : bugfixes: previous version was evaluating expressions inside comments". You could try that one, but it is the lowest-rated of the options. You could also try GitHub.
