I am assuming that value parameters do not suffer > from this same inefficiency. Type parameters complicate parsing and design elaboration. Type parameters do restricted your ability to make early optimizations (before elaboration). In a separate compilation design flow, this may cause some inefficiencies. After the design is fully elaborated, all type parameters should have their final values and could be completely eliminated from the design. Type parameters do not need to have any impact on simulation run time. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.Received on Sat Jun 23 17:27:33 2007
