I was trying something like this in quartus 13.0 SP1 CycloneII device.

cmplxAdd add2(.z(addOut2),.x(inp1), .y({-inp2[63:32],-inp2[31:0]});

And received Error: Peak virtual memory: 462 megabytes.

I changed the above instantiation as

cmplxAdd add2(addOut2, inp1, {-inp2[63:32],-inp2[31:0]});

and the error vanished.

Whats the difference in the above two statements which is causing the Peak Virtual Memory error?

Or is this a bug in Quartus ?
