* verilog-mode.el (verilog-forward-sexp, verilog-calc-1): Support "disable fork" and "fork wait" multi word keywords, suggested by Steve Pearlmutter. (verilog-pretty-declarations): Support lineup of declarations in port lists. (verilog-skip-backward-comments, verilog-skip-forward-comment-p): fix bug for /* / comments (verilog-backward-syntactic-ws, verilog-forward-syntactic-ws): Speed up and simplfy as this is never called with a bound. (verilog-pretty-declarations): Enhance to line up declarations inside a parameter list, suggested by Alan Morgan. (verilog-pretty-expr): Tune assignment regular expression match string for corner cases; also use markers instead of character number as indent changes the later. (verilog-type-keywords): Fix pulldown as missing keyword. (verilog-read-sub-decls-line): Fix comments in AUTO_TEMPLATE causing truncation of AUTOWIRE signals. Reported by Bruce Tennant. (verilog-auto-inst, verilog-auto-inst-port): Add vl_mbits for AUTO_TEMPLATEs needing multiple array bits. Suggested by Bruce Tennant. (verilog-keywords): (verilog-1800-2005-keywords, verilog-1800-2009-keywords): Add IEEE 1800-2009 keywords, including "global.".

The syntax is changed only for table SYNTAX-TABLE, which defaults to

CHAR may be a cons (MIN . MAX), in which case, syntaxes of all characters
in the range MIN to MAX are changed.
The first character of NEWENTRY should be one of the following:
  Space or -  whitespace syntax.    w   word constituent.
  _           symbol constituent.   .   punctuation.
  (           open-parenthesis.     )   close-parenthesis.

  |           generic string fence. !   generic comment fence.

Only single-character comment start and end sequences are represented thus.
Two-character sequences are represented as described below.
The second character of NEWENTRY is the matching parenthesis,
 used only if the first character is `(' or `)'.
Any additional characters are flags.
Defined flags are the characters 1, 2, 3, 4, b, p, and n.
 1 means CHAR is the start of a two-char comment start sequence.
 2 means CHAR is the second character of such a sequence.
 3 means CHAR is the start of a two-char comment end sequence.
 4 means CHAR is the second character of such a sequence.

There can be up to two orthogonal comment sequences.  This is to support
language modes such as C++.  By default, all comment sequences are of style
a, but you can set the comment sequence style to b (on the second character
of a comment-start, or the first character of a comment-end sequence) using
this flag:
 b means CHAR is part of comment sequence b.
 n means CHAR is part of a nestable comment sequence.

 p means CHAR is a prefix character for `backward-prefix-chars';
   such characters are treated as whitespace when they occur
   between expressions.

 4. nil if outside a comment, t if inside a non-nestable comment,

 5. t if following a quote character.
 6. the minimum paren-depth encountered during this scan.
 7. t if in a comment of style b; symbol `syntax-table' if the comment
    should be terminated by a generic comment delimiter.
 8. character address of start of comment or string; nil if not in one.
 9. Intermediate data for continuation of parsing (subject to change).
If third arg TARGETDEPTH is non-nil, parsing stops if the depth
in parentheses becomes equal to TARGETDEPTH.
Fourth arg STOPBEFORE non-nil means stop when come to
 any character that starts a sexp.
Fifth arg OLDSTATE is a list like what this function returns.
 It is used to initialize the state of the parse.  Elements number 1, 2, 6
 and 8 are ignored.
Sixth arg COMMENTSTOP non-nil means stop at the start of a comment.
 If it is symbol `syntax-table', stop after the start of a comment or a
 string, or after end of a comment or a string.  */)
