Hi

I just subscribed to the mail list as I was instructed by Maidment,
Matthew R, Levy, Yossef (DT) at Intel Corporation.

I am not sure if I am sending email to the right address. Please let me
know what I should do if this it not he right process.

There is a question/suggestion for enhancement as described below.

When I define the range of a bin in coverpoint, I found that it is
strange that variables can be used as range of bins only if they are
covergroup argument


addr: coverpoint  iT.address iff (iT.cmd == MEM_WRITE || iT.cmd == MEM_READ)
       {
          bins memory = {[0:ddr_max]};  // Memory space
        }


I could use neither any other variables nor const constant.
There are many randomly generated variables before the covergroup is
generated.
It will be convenient if I can use them directly without having to use
covergroup argument.

Does this make sense?

Thanks,
Byung Yoo
