| Environment |
In 4.2.3, strings are clearly described as operands, but in A.8.3, they must be the only thing in the expression. I propose that strings be move from an expression alternative to a string alternative. I have verilog code that used strings as operands in an expression (c == "\n"). |

| Fix |
Remove "string" from productions for constant_expression (Syntax 4-2, A.8.3) expression (Syntax 4-2, A.8.3) genvar_expression (new Syntax 12-5, new A.4.2) Add "string" to productions for constant_primary (Syntax 4-2, A.8.4) primary (Syntax 4-2, A.8.4) |
