RE: [sv-ec] Missing BNF for parameterized virtual interfaces

But we are in fact specializing the type of the virtual interface. So we
have the following form in pseudo-BNF:

 

unspecialized_type #(specialization) list_of_identifiers

 

Did you have a strong opinion about this, or just making sure it's been
though through?

You are not specializing the modport, you are specializing the
interface.  What's the argument from first principles for a syntax that
separates the parameter value assignment from what it is specializing?

I don't think there is any precedent, and I didn't want to start one.

 

Shalom, I can read my PDFs with Acrobat 5.0 on linux, so that's not the
problem. Try saving the document before opening it.

Is there any precedent for placing parameter overrides in the middle of
a 'dotted' identifier?

 

Dave, can't you upload files in Acrobat 6 format?

Dave,

 

I'm not saying the syntax is wrong, but why not 

 

          virtual ifc#(32).mp v;

 

instead of

 

           virtual ifc.mp#(32) v;

         

?  Also, the dot before modport_identifier should be red.

I believe this was just an oversight, but there's no BNF to support the
specification of actual parameters of a virtual interface needed to
match the actual parameters in an interface instance.

This proposal assumes the BNF in mantis 892 is also approved
