    Shalom,

      It may be a pity that there are no reference simulators anymore, but if
    you want to see how one simulator handles @(*) and generate, it is available
    in ModelSim. :)

    Sorry to "beat a dead horse", but I find it difficult to accept the
    argument that developers and users know what the correct meaning of what
    is written in the LRM. We have quite a few issues in which we have not
    even been able to agree among ourselves what is the correct
    interpretation. We still don't know how generates are supposed to work.
     Heck, we haven't even been able to agree whether spaces are allowed in
    @(*) ! (Looks like a curse...)

    Gone are the days in which there was a "golden reference
    simulator" (Verilog-XL) which was already mature when the standard came
    out. (Even then, it was only good if you had a license for it.)

    Also gone are the days in which a simulator came with its own LRM.
    Today it just points to IEEE 1364-2001.
