Why do I see errors from my simulation tool about illegal names when compiling SystemVerilog output netlists?

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
    Simulation
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Due to a problem in the Quartus II software versions 11.0 and later, output netlists in SystemVerilog format may contain illegal names with an extra white spaces inserted.

For example, a wire or net renamed by the Quartus II software may have an extra white space added:

"\ renamed_net_3~0_combout”
Resolution

To work around this issue, follow the steps below:

  1. On the Quartus II Assignments menu, click Settings
  2. From the Category list, expand EDA Tool Settings and click Simulation
  3. Turn on the Map illegal HDL characters option
