Vl-scary-translate-comment-p

Recognize special translate_off or translate-on comments.

Signature

(vl-scary-translate-comment-p x) → *

Arguments

x — Guard (stringp x).

It seems as though different tools have different syntax for this. From internet searches, it appears that at least the following may be used by different tools:

• // synopsys translate_off
• // synthesis translate_off
• // pragma translate_off
• // exemplar translate_off
• // cadence translate_off

As well as translate_on versions of the above, as well as /*...*/-style instead of //-style comments. The above may well be incomplete.

Well, it seems pretty reasonable to just flag any comment that mentions translate_on or translate_off.
