ETF,
So Karen's second example would now be written as follows? --
module foo #(parameter a = 1, b=2, parameter real c=3.0) (<ports>)
The distinct meanings for those two commas is confusing. Alhough the
grammar is unambiguous, that sure *looks* like a list of three items instead
of a list of two items.
I prefer the original style, in which the semicolon is always a terminator
(like an abbreviated 'endparameter' keyword) --
module foo #(parameter a = 1, b=2; parameter real c=3.0;) (<ports>)
Instead of special casing parameter_declaration, why not just remove the
superfluous comma from module_parameter_port_list?

Karen,
Look at http://boydtechinc.com/btf/archive/btf_2002/1803.html
That is the resolution of a discussion on this.
But it still has to enter ETF database.
