[sv-bc] RE: [sv-ec] Question about labels on the end of methods

Hi Chris,

This is more likely a question for the sv-bc. There is also syntax for an exported interface task that looks like

task i.foo
endtask : foo


The BNF says it should be just 'foo'

task_body_declaration ::=
[ interface_identifier . | class_scope ] task_identifier ( [ tf_port_list ] ) ;
{ block_item_declaration }
{ statement_or_null }
endtask [ : task_identifier ]

By I agree i.foo and in your example, Packet::foo would look better.

Dave
