RE: [sv-bc] P1800 draft2 review : Sec 9 Processes

The declarative assign statement is also quite good at generating
combinatorial logic.

	Hi,

	 

	9.1.2.2

	    This is a rather nit-picky thing.  Section 9.1.2.2 contains
the sentence "SystemVerilog provides a special always_comb procedure for
modeling combinational logic behavior."

	      What makes always_comb so special, does it think its
better than all the other types of processes? :-)

	     I think this sentence made more sense in 1800-2005 as way
of stating that always_comb was only in SV, not in plain old Verilog,
but in the merged document shouldn't all procedures be created equal?

	 

	[SB] Nope. always_comb is specially tailored for combinational
logic. You can use a plain always, but always_comb is recommended.
'special' means 'special purpose' or 'specialized'.
