I think this was an oversight in the BNF. It should be legal.

Hi,
As per 1800 2005 SV LRM BNF, parameter array rule is defined as:

param_assignment ::= parameter_identifier { unpacked_dimension } = constant_param_expression
unpacked_dimension ::= [ constant_range ]
| [ constant_expression ]

So, by BNF parameter can't be declared with dynamic type (associative or queue or dynamic). But can we declare dynamic type parameter array by using typedef. Is the e.g. legal:

module top;
    typedef int myassoc[*];
    parameter int myparam1[*] = '{default:1}; // illegal
    parameter myassoc myparam2 = '{default:1}; // Is it legal
endmodule

If 2nd declaration is legal then why BNF restricts the 1st declaration.
