Generate - When not taken

Question: If you had the code snippet below and the value of the local parameter NUMOFMASTERS is 0, is it really an error for the L_blocken and cfg_blocken signals to not be declared. Since the generate does not actually activate any code it would seem that the signal declaration would not be required. // Flops unique to the Master Logic generate if (NUMOFMASTERS > 0 ) always_ff @(posedge Clk_foo) begin if(!Reset_l_foo)begin L_blocken

    Yes, it is required. Since parameter values can be overridden, the parser will process the code and save it in case the instantiation overrides the default parameter values and the generate statements are executed.
