PROFILE

Gary Wong

Greg worked on the YosysHQ/yosys repository, focusing on enhancing SystemVerilog and Verilog frontend support over three months. He implemented parsing and AST support for SystemVerilog unique, unique0, and priority if semantics, ensuring correct multiplexer generation and attribute preservation. Using C++ and regular expressions, Greg optimized string literal parsing in the Verilog lexer for better performance and addressed memory safety in the parser’s handling of if statements. He also expanded lexer and parser capabilities to support SystemVerilog string literals, including triple-quoted strings and escape sequences, while updating documentation and tests to ensure robust, standards-compliant language compatibility.
