How does verilog behave with negative exponents?
How does verilog behave with negative exponents? For example: expression (2**(M-N)) has a negative exponent when both M and N are constant and N is larger than M. What will be issues if I write such code in my RTL code.

The expresson 2x gets implemented as an arithmetic shift operation. A negative value of x represents a shift left by x.
