Description

I initially added added some basic support for real number format specifiers in PR #8848 some months ago. Due to school I have been busy and unable to follow up. I believe the functionality still needs to be implemented. I apologize for forgetting about this until now. More info at IEEE 1800-2017 § 21.2.1.2 "Format specifications".

Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #8848 and the current ImportVerilog implementation, then read IEEE 1800-2017 §21.2.1.2, “Format specifications.” Determine which real-number format specifiers remain unsupported and define completion against the standard’s expected behavior.
