regarding verbosity_package.sv errors

in this thread, i see someone else has hit this same problem: 

 

www altera com/forum/showpost.php?p=122019&postcount=10  

 

i can't post that as a link since i only have 1 post... 

 

the response to that question seems more focused on modelsim. however, i am seeing that exact error in quartus when i try to analyze and elaborate in preparation for simulation. 

 

i do not see this problem if i run the simulation in ncsim, so it does seem to be a bug in quartus. i do have sytemVerilog checked everywhere in quartus. 

 

i did a little hacking on this and it really does seem that quartus is confusing a void function for a task. if i edit verbosity_package.sv to make print() return a string and assign the return value of print to a dummy string, the file compiles just fine. 

 

any ideas? 

 

thanks

Can you post a simple synthesizeable design showing the issue, and perhaps a testbench. I can run the code through Modelsim-SE to see if it complains. That would at least isolate the issue to being with Quartus. You could then file an SR and upload the same design.
