Dmitry/Surya, It seems that you both didn't read the replies of each other carefully enough. First, Surya said that referring to arguments of *non*-automatic functions is allowed. Then Dmitry gave a reference to LRM sentence telling that references to arguments of *automatic* functions is not allowed. This is not contradicting what Surya said. Then, Surya gave an example of *non*-automatic function that works (by default, functions are static). Which is also not contradicting the sentence Dmitry referred to. --Yulik. -----Original Message----- From: owner-sv-bc@server.eda.org [mailto:owner-sv-bc@server.eda.org] On Behalf Of Korchemny, Dmitry Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 3:15 PM To: Surya Pratik Saha Cc: sv-bc@eda.org Subject: RE: [sv-bc] Is 'let' item allowed to be hierarchically referred?

Hi Dmitry, If we change the initial block as: initial begin b = f.x; $display("%b", b); c = f(1); b = f.x; $display("%b", b); end All simulators gives value 'x' for first $display and then '1' for next one.
