Verible Language Server Extension

Features

The language server provides a couple of features from the Verible SystemVerilog productivity suite right in the editor.

• Linting: Checks your code against a number of lint rules and provides ‘wiggly lines’ with diagnostic output and even offers auto-fixes when available.
• Formatting: Offers Format Document/Selection according to the Verible formatting style. The ‘look’ can be configured if needed.
• Outline: Shows the high-level structure of your modules and functions in the outline tree. Labelled begin/end blocks are also included.
• Hover: Highlight symbols related to the one under the cursor.
• Go-To-Definition: Jump to the definition of the symbol under the cursor.
• Go-To-References: Jump to the references of the symbol under the cursor.
• AUTO-expansion: Features known from Emacs Verilog-mode, used for expanding various /*AUTO...*/ pragmas in Verilog and SystemVerilog code. These expansions are available as code actions.
  • AUTOARG – generates a list of non-ANSI ports in a module header,
  • [🎉 New] AUTOINST with AUTO_TEMPLATE – generates connections in a module instance based on the instantiated module's ports,
  • [🎉 New] AUTOINPUT, AUTOOUTPUT, AUTOINOUT – declares ports based on connections generated by AUTOINST,
  • [🎉 New] AUTOWIRE – declares wires based on connections generated by AUTOINST,
  • [🎉 New] AUTOREG – declares regs for outputs not connected to any module instance.

Prerequisite on your machine

The Verible plug-in needs the verible-verilog-ls executable installed on your machine.

On Linux and Windows, the plug-in will try to download the necessary executable (if it's not already available).

Get a binary distribution for your Operating System at https://github.com/chipsalliance/verible/releases

Alternatively, build Verible from source.
