Subject: [sv-bc] Fowrded from Non-member submission from [Guillermo Maturana
-----Original Message-----
In the 3.1 LRM under 25.2, first paragraph it says "The defparam
I think this is incorrect: I don't think it is possible to override
module a;
I don't think instance overrides can cause t.p or t.n.p to be overriden.
Of course a module could have parameters in arbitrarily nested named blocks.
One solution to this would be to extend the name to be full hierarchical
So for the example above, an instance a1 of a one could override "p" at top
a #(.p(1), .t.p(2), .t.n.p(3)) a1;
Oh well, I don't like defparams either, but without some way to override
