The description of abstact classes in 1800-2005 reminds lot not covered behatiours. Maybe this is covered by 1800-2008 D4? There is a list of my questions driven by typical object oriented code practices: 1st. Do all virtual methods in virtual class have to have no body : virtual class C; virtual task t1; endtask //method with no body virtual task t; $display("C::t"); endtask //is this allowed ???? endclass 2nd. How to define virtual method in virtual class which should do nothing but should not to be abstract and should not be overriden? virtual class C; virtual task t1; endtask endclass class D extends C; endclass D d=new; initial d.t1; //this task just should do nothing if it is not overriden - there is obligation to override it to get non-abstact method 3rd Should all virtual methods from virtual class be considered as abstract and have to be ovveridden in child classes - nevermind if they have body or not. virtual class C; virtual task t1; endtask //is it abstract virtual task t; $display("C::t"); endtask //is it abstract endclass 4th Can I have both abstract and not abstract methods in virtual class? virtual class C; virtual task t1; endtask //this is abstract need to be overriden virtual task t; $display("C::t"); endtask //this is non abstract - no need for overrride endclass 5th Can I have both abstract and not abstract methods in nonvirtual class? class C; virtual task t1; endtask //this is abstract need to be overriden virtual task t; $display("C::t"); endtask //this is non abstract - no need for overrride endclass 6th - The idea of "virtual class" is quite distant for what in fact abstract classes are. Abstract classes - are classes with at least single method which has no implementation (pure virtual methods) - so woudln't it be better to have special syntax for defining pure virtual methods that virtual classses ie: pure virtual function f; endfunction or virtual function f=0; endfunction Current description is quite misterious and lots of information is written between the lines - implicitly.
