Does anyone have a license for @synopsys VCS and can report bugs? People are sending me patches for my open source IP cores to work around bugs in VCS handling of signed expressions. I'm not going to merge them. Fix VCS instead! Ugh!
I agree with the first part of your statement but not with the second. I have not yet seen a vendor "double down" on a violation of the language standard by claiming that compatibility with their own previous version is more important than compatibility with the rest of the world
