Strange error in ModelSim but not in Quartus?


I'm doing a Verilog project on quartus, and when I do the analysis and synthesis, quartus doesn't give me any errors.

When instead I try to compile the files on ModelSim, it gives me the following error:

** Error: C:/Users/deivi/OneDrive/Documents/ingegneria_progetti/EMBEDDED/prima_esercitazione/Gestione_sensori/conta_periodo.v(90): A begin/end block was found with an empty body. This is permitted in SystemVerilog, but not permitted in Verilog. Please look for any stray semicolons.

                end
                
                    endcase;
        end
endmodule

It's a state machine that works with another block.

Does anyone know why I get this error?


Solution

  • The error message says:

    Please look for any stray semicolons.

    There is a stray semicolon on line 90, as reported in the error message. Change:

                    endcase;
    

    to:

                    endcase
    

    You should not add semicolons after "end"-type keywords like end, endcase, endmodule, etc.
