function_loop_statement (Syntax 9-7 (9.6), A.6.8) allows the "forever" construct. That would seem to be wrong since functions must execute in a single time point and return. |

From: Steven Sharp <sharp@cadence.com> To: etf-bugs@boyd.com, Shalom.Bresticker@motorola.com Cc: Subject: Re: errata/230: PROPOSAL - function_loop_statement should not allow "forever"? Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2003 13:41:26 -0500 (EST) A forever loop is perfectly legal inside a function. Even if it were the responsibility of the language definition to try to disallow infinite loops inside functions, a forever loop is not necessarily infinite. A disable statement can exit it.
