hi
i m designing a bypassing multiplier. nd in this by checking the multipler bit, we can bypass a particular row or clumn so as to reduce switching activity. but in verilog, conditional use of generate statement is not being supported for bypassing. the reason is while elaborations, we cant conditionally call any other module. so what shud i do to conditionally instantiate or skip any instantiation in verilog?
 

I've seen a similar question in another thread. You can't use something that is not a constant to conditionally instantiate something, that is why it fails to work.

Your multiplier bit inputs can be either 1 or 0 depending on the input value so you would be trying to dynamically instantiate a module depending on a variable. This isn't SW you don't have dynamic linked hardware.
