Description
genvars are currently limited to non-negative values.

In contrast, arrays of instances may have negative indexes.
(Apparently supported by Verilog-XL,
although apparently not by NC-Verilog)

In VHDL, it is also allowed.

Consider allowing negative values for genvars, as well.
Fix
Close this issue.

It is resolved by the generate proposal accepted by the VSG
