Re: [sv-ec] FW: continuous assignemts

How about:

interface foo;
reg some_var;

  assign some_var = ...;
endinterface

module bar;
  foo ifoo();

virtual interface foo_h;

initial begin
  foo_h = ifoo;
  foo_h.some_var = 1;
end
endmodule

I haven't reviewed the chapter on interfaces recently, so I'm not sure
if it's legal to deference an untyped virtual interface handle.
However, we have here two assignments to some_var, one of which cannot
be readily discerned without some heavy dataflow analysis (in the
general case).

Has this case been considered?
