Verilog Implicit Net

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);
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 with the following template:

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