Sarani,

This is the topic of Mantis 1323.  The attached proposal for it was
approved by P1800 working group in 2006, but is still pending IEEE
balloting.

Subject: [sv-bc] visiblity of imported package function

Hi,

I have doubts about importing a package through wild card import :
package bottom;
 function int func1;
  func1 = 1;
 endfunction
endpackage

package my_pack;
  import bottom::*;
  int int1;
  int int2 = func1();
endpackage

module package_scope4(input int in1,output int out1);
  import my_pack::*;
  always@(in1)
   begin
     out1 = my_pack::func1();
  end
endmodule

In the example above, I have declared a bottom package which defines a
function.
This package is again imported into another package my_pack.
The function is now used inside this package .

So is the function now declared in my_pack scope?

Also can I refer to this function through scope resolution operator
inside the module?

If yes then is scope resolution operator necessary for referencing the
function as wildcard import has been used and also there is no name
conflict in the local scope.

Thanks,
Sarani
