Hi Dave,

Thanks. This point has been raised to me as well as a couple of other fixes that are needed.

I would prefer to adjust the BNF to be consistent with the example as I believe that is a more intuitive way to write it. Do you foresee any issues with that BNF change?

cover_point ::= // from A.2.11
              [ cover_point_identifier : ] data_type_or_implicit coverpoint expression [ iff ( expression ) ]

Thanks,
Scott

While I've got your attention for mantis 2506,

The BNF for a coverpoint says

cover_point ::= // from A.2.11
              data_type_or_implicit [ cover_point_identifier : ] coverpoint expression [ iff ( expression ) ]

Yet a later example has

d: bit [7:0] coverpoint y[31:24]; // creates coverpoint "d" covering ...

Which is correct?
