[sv-ec] RE: [sv-ac] Confusion Regarding set_covergroup_expression Mantis 2506

Hi Soumya,

Yes, you could use an expression that yields an array of reals as a set_covergroup_expression. A real is not a valid coverpoint type, so the reals would not end up being the bin values. The reals would be converted to the appropriate coverpoint type when the covergroup instance is constructed.

Do you have a concern that this is legal?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi,

For Mantis 2506, set_covergoup_expression is defined as "an expression
yielding an array of values that
define the bin. Any array whose element type is assignment compatible
with the coverpoint type is permitted,
with the exception that associative arrays are not permitted".

A real, is assignment compatible to integer, does that mean as array of
real type can be used as set_covergroup_expression.

I have applied for sv-ec subscription, so for the mean time a directing
my mails to sv-bc.

Regards,
Soumya
