The self determined size of a division is max(SIZE(left), SIZE(right)).
(see IEEE Std. 1364-2005 table 5-22 or IEEE Std. 1800-2012 table 11-21)
Because of this the following module returns constant 0: The division returns a self-determined expression that is 4 bits in size and has the two MSB set to constant zero.
module issue_055(a, b, y); input [1:0] a; input [3:0] b; output [3:0] y; assign y = &(a / b); endmodule
It looks like Verific 463_32_140722 uses only SIZE(left), thus evaluating a=2'b11 and b=2'b01 to y=4'b0001.
