Verilator generates wrong portnames in SystemC mode

[Edgar E. Iglesias]

Verilator v4.028 and newer has a bug (v4.016 works OK) in that it doesn't emit constructor calls for ports when used in SystemC mode. This affects applications that rely on such names and also all SystemC tracing. It breaks some of Xilinx's Open Source QEMU + RTL co-simulation flows.

A fix was recently committed on the master branch:
https://github.com/verilator/verilator/pull/2500

Would it be possible to get a backport of this fix into Ubuntu 20.04?
I can create the backport if you let me know in what format you'd need it in.

Best regards,
Edgar
