Verilator doesn't recognize macros

[smunaut]

Description

If you include a macro that has liberty file, yosys will parse the liberty file and know about the macro and its ports just fine. But Verilator won't because it doesn't parse liberty files ...

Expected Behavior

No errors.

Sorry for the extremely late reply. There's not much we can do about this… except for maybe a lib to verilog converter of some kind.
