Hi, Thank you for the feedback on Mantis 1465. > - Review Item 1465 (per Shalom's request) > Francoise asked about the direction of a port. There is > vpiNoDirection. > Can that be used in this case? If it is not explicitly > specified then it > takes the direction from the preceding one. It does > have a direction. > Only time we would have no direction is for interfaces > and modports. What > if we had a null port at the beginning? > Suspended debate until next meeting I would like to emphasize that these questions are valid for the current LRM as well. 1465 puts order in the subclause in question, corrects an error, and fills in the holes in the specification for regular net and variable port declarations. Any remaining holes are in the existing LRM as well. I agree that even after 1465, the subclause does not take into account interface or modport ports. That occurred to me as well and I added a bug note about it to Mantis 2273, which is sort of a parent to 1465. Interface ports do not have port kinds or data types either, at least not the same types as net and variable ports. If you had a null port at the beginning, I guess the current rules would define it as a non-ANSI style port list, and then the rest of the subclause would not be applicable.
