[sv-bc] A question regarding the proposal for issue # 91

Hello All,

In yesterdays meeting I was requested to make a proposal that among
other things enhances the BNF to accept the usage of data types as
arguments to the $bits system function and the array querying system
functions

Meaning enabling such system function calls

                $bits(integer)

                $dimennsions(reg[10:0]);

However the BNF sections in chapter 23 only permits the usage of type
identifiers

Such as

typedef integer type_ident

...

$bits(type_ident)

The BNF box in chapter 23.4 reads:

size_function ::=

$bits ( expression )

| $bits ( type_identifier )

// not in Annex A

And annex A reads

            type_identifier ::= identifier

My question :

Do we want to enable the use of data types as arguments to the $bits and
array querying system functions ?

Once I receive an answer I will update the proposal

Dan Jacobi,
