I think you can probably just
return []
here? I think it's better to avoid failure cases if we can.There was a problem hiding this comment.

I guess the consideration is whether this function should be generic (which it otherwise mostly is) or should be specific to Verilog generation. Verilog doesn't allow vectors of size zero, so in the latter case this is the result we want. At the same time, I also like to avoid failure cases whenever possible... And I'd prefer to do something other than
fail

Looking at this some more, I think this will fail on empty vectors at any type, which you probably also don't want.

Oh, and now that I look further I think your previous suggestion was right. Returning an empty list for a zero-size bit vector will result in no value on the Verilog side, not an empty value, so it'll be fine. I'll update it so that any zero-size vector will go through okay.
