Re: [sv-ec] parameters in classes

Every parameter declared as a class_item is always already local,
regardless of whether there is a #(...) after the class_identifier.  See
 
    http://www.eda-stds.org/svdb/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0001515
 
So the word 'class' should be removed from that 6.20.1 sentence.
(However, 'interface' and 'program' should be retained.)

Subject: [sv-ec] parameters in classes


  

Hi,

In Draft 3, Stu wrote in 6.20.1, "If any param_assignments appear in a
parameter_port_list, then any param_assignments that appear within the
module, interface, program or class shall become local parameters and
shall not be overridden by any method." Here Stu added "interface,
program, or class".

6.20.4 says, "Unlike nonlocal parameters, local parameters can be
declared in a generate block, in a package, or in a compilation-unit
scope. In these contexts, the parameter keyword can be used as a synonym
for the localparam keyword."

BNF footnote 39 (Mantis 1515) says, "39) In a parameter_declaration that
is a class_item, the parameter keyword shall be a synonym for the
localparam keyword."

So is every parameter declared in a class a local parameter, or only if
there are parameters defined in the class header?

What about interfaces and programs?

Thanks,

Shalom
