SystemVerilog probes · 50Vivado: supported

function arguments bound by name, in another order: diff(.b(x), .a(y))

Vivado: supported. The open-source chain: all four stages pass.

What does Vivado do with it?

Supported. UG901 v2023.2 Ch.10 Table 27 (p.287): 'Argument binding by name: Supported'

What does the open-source chain do with it?

since #4; built by yosys-slang, yosys' own reader refused this code (the note in bit.log); rtl: PASS; bit: 'pnr ok: 41 LUT, 0 FF, no clocked paths, timing not applicable (full log: top.log)'; netlist: PASS, 'EQV PASS: 1048576 output bits compared, all equal'

What is the probe's code?
