Problem Title:
SYNTHX 5.0: Possible cause of 'pin was not defined', design worked in
last rev



Problem Description:



Solution 1:


SYNTHX 5.0 may produce a warning similar to the following on some designs:

*** SYNTHX: WARNING:

	The external module signal DATA_STATE(example) pin was defined but not
used in your design.


In some cases, there may actually be a problem with the design file. However,
if the design file looks valid, try changing the name of the function. It
appears that functions containing the word "state" may cause SYNTHX to
issue warning messages.
