RE: [sv-bc] datatypes on ports

Françoise,

 

A ref port is defined as a symbolic reference. The symbol is never assigned a value, only what it references.

 

An input or output variable port is defined as a continuous assignment, so the LHS has whatever the RHS has. Its valid to assign a null dynamic array.

Subject: [sv-bc] datatypes on ports

 

Do we allow dynamic array datatypes on a variable or ref port?

What is the initial value of the port if the dynamic array has not been allocated yet? null?
