| Description |
One of the examples under $random on page 322 show: rand = {$random} %60; This example works both in Verilog-XL and VCS. This is legal according to the BNF in section A.8.1 since it allows one or more expressions. concatenation ::= {expression {,expression}} In section 4.1.14 it says: A concatenation is the joining together of bits resulting from two or more expressions. This is inconsistent with the example on page 322 and with the BNF. What does concatenation of one expression mean? Proposal: Add text in section 4.1.14 explaining what {expression} does and provide an example. Regards, Anders |

WITH: A concatenation is the result of the joining together of bits resulting from one or more expressions. In addition to changing "two" to "one", the words "the result of" were also added. I did not notice that earlier. I don't object, but I also don't see the advantage in it. Shalom |
