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

maybe LRM should be more explicit on that?

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

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
