[sv-bc] RE: [sv-ec] Is void function not implicitly declared inside the function

I'll ask a reverse question.
 
Is it legal to assign a value to the function variable within a void
function? If so, what is the variable's type?
Is it legal to hierarchically access the function variable of a void
function?
Is it legal to have a return statement with a value within a void
function?
 
And in any function, does a return statement with a value assign that
value to the function variable? The LRM implies not, but does not say so
explicitly.
 
Thanks,
Shalom

	Hi,
	As per V2K LRM (10.4.2 Returning a value from a function):
	The function definition shall implicitly declare a variable,
internal to the function, with the same name as the function.
	
	Is it changed when the function is declared with void return
type?
	Is the following case legal?
	
	module a;
	  function void fnc;
	    input x;
	    //integer fnc;
	    fnc  : assert(0 == 1);
	  endfunction
	endmodule
	
	Some simulators pass if the function is declared inside class
only. I did not see anything mentioned in SV LRM.
