| Description |
With the addition of math functions, I noticed that system function calls cannot have attributes in their BNF. But why not? Might not I want to guide a synthesis tool, for example, how to synthesize a math function?

One thing to investigate is whether this could create an ambiguity about what the attribute is attached to. There are system functions that have no arguments and therefore don't have parentheses after the name. Is there any situation where a postfix attribute on a system function could look like a prefix attribute on what follows the function call? The same issue might also arise in SystemVerilog, since it allows Verilog functions with no parenthesized argument list. Steven Sharp sharp@cadence.com |
