Subject: Why Are There Odd Question Marks In My Synthesis Log Files ???

Hi John,

Could somebody help me to understand why I get sometime the question marks
for a certain register in my synthesis log file.  A part of the log file
looks like this:

  ======================================================================
  Register Name | Type      | Width | Bus | MB | AR | AS | SR | SS | ST
  ======================================================================
  cnt_reg       | Flip-flop |   8   |  Y  |  N |  N |  N |  N |  N |  N
  dac_buf_reg   | Flip-flop |   1   |  -  |  - |  N |  N |  N |  N |  N
  data_buf_reg  | Flip-flop |   8   |  Y  |  N |  N |  N |  N |  N |  N
  mod2cnt_reg   | Flip-flop |   1   |  -  |  - |  N |  N |  N |  N |  N
  sum_reg       | Flip-flop |   8   |  N  |  N |  ? |  ? |  ? |  ? |  ?
  ======================================================================

The register bank sum_reg got the question mark for all parameters:

                         AR, AS, SR, SS, ST

Thanks for any help.
