Mentor Precision Synthesis complaint!

Figured I'd post this here, since I filed a defect report (DR
#00174902) in April and there's been no action.

Guess what very important feature Mentor Precision RTL synthesis does
NOT support -- but its predecessor, Leonardo, does?

You cannot override parameters from either the GUI or from a shell.

Believe it or not! A feature of Verilog that's been around, oh,
FOREVER! And, even worse is that they have no plans to address this
defect, as its status remains "assigned" and has not percolated up the
priority chain.

Point is: don't even bother considering this tool if you need to
parameterize your designs.

Does it allow you to modify generics in VHDL (which are essentially
the same thing)?

Precision, as of the current version (2004a.68) also does not support
Verilog generate.

Phooooooey. Let's see how long it takes for them to add the support
....
