Attached is a proposal for Mantis 1240. The proposal only allows assignment of the 'auto_bin_max' and 'detect_overlap' options in a covergroup or coverpoint declaration. IE. These options cannot be dynanically assigned after the covergroup instance is created. In the previous SV-EC meeting, it was AGREED that these options are applied at the time the instance is created and that dynamic assignment of these options (after the instance is created) would NOT change the instance. There was discussion that it was desirable to dynamically assign these options and then expect that the new values would apply to any subsequently created instance of the covergroup. The assumption in the meeting was that these are TYPE options. However, these are per-instance options. Therefore, dynamic assignment of these options (that doesn't change the instance) is only confusing / misleading. Thus this proposal only allows assignment in the declaration. - Ray
