For example, if you had a statement a = b + c Then you'd want a to change every time either b or c changes In other words, a is sensitive to b & c So to set this up Always @( b or c ) begin a = b + c End but imagine you had a large always block that was sensitive to loads of signals
Writing the sensitivity list would take ages So, always use always @* or better yet always_comb and forget about the concept of sensitivity lists If the item in the code is evaluated it will trigger the process It an item is in an if/else, a case, assigned to a variable, or anything else, it will be evaluated and thus cause the process to be triggered. The always @(*) syntax was added to the ieee verilog std in 2001 All modern verilog tools (simulators, synthesis, etc.) support this syntax
The implicit event_expression, @*, is a convenient shorthand that eliminates these. Always @(*) should no longer be used because it does not correctly simulate hardware in all cases In addition to the difference you note with functions, it does not handle constant logic correctly Always @(*) a = b && c I am totally confused among these 4 terms Always_ff, always_comb, always_latch and always
How and for what purpose can these be used? The expression always @* begin Name_of_my_combinational_logic_block // code end describes combinational logic Typically the clk and rst signals are not read from inside of this type of always block, so they don't appear in the sensitivity list like wisemonkey says It is best practice to use @* for the sensitivity lists of combinational logic so that you don't forget to include a signal. The point of the.done().fail().always() methods is that you can attach multiple handlers do so anywhere and not just when calling $.ajax if you are at the $.ajax call site only attaching single handlers then those advantages don't really come into play
Imagine assign as wires and always blocks as registers (for now) , as their behavior is same. When you specify always, the docker daemon will try to restart the container indefinitely The container will also always start on daemon startup, regardless of the current state of the container Always at the name suggests will cause the container runtime to attempt to pull a new version of the image from the repository every time it tries to create the container.
