what's new in 2001

[Chris F Clark]

Does someone have a quick cheat-sheet type summary of what's new in
the 2001 standard and would be willing to post it (or mail it to me)?

I need to plan for incorporating some or all of the 2001 changes in
our in-house simulator. I am aware of the following things to address.

always @*
new declaration syntaxes (prototype-like declarations)
signed constants/regs
<<< and >>> shifts
:+ and :- in bit specs
generate statements

Are there other things I should potentially have on my list?

Thanks for your time,
-Chris

I've gone to a good resource for these questions in the past... check out

http://sutherland-hdl.com/papers.html

for a list of presentations over the years. The paper from 2000 may be the
one I was thinking of with the guide to the changes Verilog2001 brought.
Other material on his site might be of benefit as well.

Thanks, this is exactly the level of summary I was looking for.
