| Description |
When reviewing issue #209, we noted that hierarchical_identifier ends with an identifier name, without an optional index. If the hierarchical_identifier is used to refer to one of an array of modules or primitives or named generate blocks, then it will be necessary to add a "[ constant_expression ] " to the hierarchical_identifier. This issue comes to try to identify such places. The only real place I found in the current LRM where that is necessary is in Syntax 17-9 ($printtimescale). However, the construct hierarchical_name is used in C.5 ($list), C.9 ($scale), and C.10 ($scope). The syntax of hierarchical_name is undefined. We had mentioned $dumpvars. That actually uses "module_identifier" (Syntax 18-3), as does Syntax 12-8 (upward_name_reference) and Syntax 18-21 ($dumpports) and the following text. We might want to modify those. By the way, if we are going to leave $scale, we need to explain it better. The description here is incomplete, and does not give enough information to understand how to use it. -- Shalom Bresticker Shalom.Bresticker@motorola.com Design & Reuse Methodology Tel: +972 9 9522268 Motorola Semiconductor Israel, Ltd.
