(System)verilog macro containing a comment?

Is there any way in verilog to write a macro containing a comment so the comment will be 'instantiated' in every instance of the macro? I need the comment inside the macro to turn off a lint complaint about the other code in the macro.

Solution

  • You should use block comments (/* */) and probable multi-line macros. Example:

    `define macro_with_comment \
  /* your comment here */ \
  macro_body_here \
  /* another your comment here */ \
  another_line

    Be warned, macros are a pain to debug is something goes wrong.
