Re: [sv-ec] Re: [sv-bc] coverage_type_option_assignment

Option assignment syntax is not in the BNF because syntactically these
statements are just blocking assignments to struct members whose name
is "option". The corresponding data structures are defined in section 18.9.

I sent a similar query on Accellera 3.1a draft long back
(see below). 

Thx,

Subject: [sv-ec] covergroup option/type_option assignment

Section 20.6 of LRM mentions that options of a covergroup 
instance can be set procedurally.

Example:
--------
cg cg1 = new;
...
cg1.option.weight = 3;

In similar fashion, type_options for covergroup declaration
can also be set procedurally (section 20.6.1).

Example:
--------
cg::type_option.weight = 5;

Syntax 20-5 (page 321) and Syntax 20-6 (page 323)
of LRM, also describe the BNF for these assignment 
statements. But these rules donot appear in Annex  A
as well as in http://www.eda.org/sv/SV3.1a_bnf_no_footnotes.htm.

Any specific reason for this?

Thx,
Swapnajit.
