This can cause problems similar to other circular elaboration dependencies with generates that IEEE-1364 very carefully avoids." And the proposed addition to the LRM forbids interface port actuals from being hierarchical references through arrays of intances or generated instances: At the end of 20.2, ADD If the actual of an interface port connection is a hierarchical reference to an interface or a modport of a hierarchically referenced interface, the hierarchical reference shall refer to an interface instance and shall not resolve through an arrayed instance or a generate block. The SV-BC thought the SV-EC should know about such a restriction. Would you please run this by the EC? ------------------------------------------------------ ==== Issues sent to other committees for review ==== 125 294 (sv-ac) (vpi question) 229 644 (sv-bc) (struct initialization) [NOTE: SV-BC had the following decision made on 229 The SV-BC reviewed the proposal to address issue 229 in its April 11th meeting. It was not approved. Here's the message that the committee agreed to convey to the EC: The SV-BC did not pass the proposed resolution to issue 229 as captured in Mantis #644. The motion failed with only abstention. Those abstaining felt that making such a change so late in the lifecycle of the LRM was not a good idea. They had concerns about issues such as: -continuous assignment to variables -initializer passed with with Type through parameters which is a new paradigm. -------------------------------------------------------------Received on Mon Apr 11 23:38:43 2005
