RE: [sv-ec] creating object in constant function call

Since constant functions are evaluated at elaboration time, I would assume that it is forbidden.

Subject: [sv-ec] creating object in constant function call

LRM is not explicit about creating an object in constant funcion call - should it be allowed? Should it be forbidden - see below example:

module top;
 parameter p=10;

 int j;

 class C;
  int i;
  function new;
   $display("constructor");
  endfunction
 endclass

 function int f7(int i);
  C c = new;
  return i;
 endfunction


 reg [f7(10):0] r7;

endmodule
