But 8.24.1 says, "Use of the class resolution operator with a prefix that is the unadorned name of a parameterized class (see 8.24) shall be restricted to use within the scope of the named parameterized class and within its out-of-block declarations (see 8.23)." According to that, you could not write B::a, you would have to write B#(p)::a.

But it is not discussed in 8.24.1 for parameterized classes. From: owner-sv-ec@eda.org [mailto:owner-sv-ec@eda.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Mlynek Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 4:45 AM To: sv-ec@eda.org Subject: [sv-ec] reference via scope operator to parametrized superclass item LRM has special chapter :8.24.1 Class resolution operator for parameterized classes Unfortunatelly this chapter misses one important feature of scope operator - it can be used to reference to super classs item. Chapter 8.24.1 does not explicitly states that :: can be used on unadorned base class name to reference base class item. IMHO codes like below are shoould be legal and LRM should description should be extended: CODE: class B#(p=1); int a; endclass class C#(p=1) extends B#(p); bit a; function void foo; $display(B::a); //<<<<<<<<this reference via :: is not described in LRM endfunction endclass module top; C c; initial begin c = new; c.foo(); end endmodule Should I fill a mantis on that?
