Carry in on a 4 bit adder

Hi

I have a add in verilog to add 2 times 4 bit A+B and a carry to get a result of 4 bit + 1 carry out

I do use Quartus 14.0 and a MAX10

I do have this verilog code:

module add_4bit_carry( Ai,Bi,cin, Fo,cout);

input [3:0] Ai;

input [3:0] Bi;

input cin;

output [3:0] Fo;

output cout;

wire [4:0] total;

assign total=Ai+Bi+cin;

assign Fo=total[3:0];

assign cout=total[4];

endmodule

When I see the RTL I.m very surprised the CIN are not connected to the Carry in on the first adder ... I see no why Quartus do use 2 adders.

I want to save LUT's and to have a high Fmax so how to force the CIN to be used?
