SV assertions not honored?
i have a simple sv code, which has assertions
module top(input [2:0] in1, input [2:0] in2, output [3:0] out1, input clk);
parameter p1 = 4;
parameter p2 = 5;
reg [3:0] out1_reg;
always @(posedge clk) begin
assert(p1 == p2)
else
$error("fail");
end
assign out1 = out1_reg;
//assign out1 = in1+ in2;
endmodule
I have enable the asseriotion, under assignements->settings->compiler settings-> advanced options.
when i run the above code i dont see any error message.
and i see assertion is supported
am I missing something, while using assertion?

What are you expecting? assert is used for simulation, not synthesis.

In the snippet it is mentioned as supported and it does not say ignored by synthesis, was expecting it prints out the message in log.
Immediate assertion is similar to if statements, so was expecting some logic is generated

Hi,
If I'm not mistaken $error is from SystemVerilog-2005. This is only supported on Quartus Prime Pro.
