Hi, In the following testcase, a nested module and the instance name is same. Is it a valid case? In my opinion, nested module and an instance are seperate items. As per scope rules same name items can not exist in same scope. So a variable also can not be declared using same name as nested module or instance. I did not find any explicit rule though in SV 3.1a LRM which will tell us that nested module can have or not have same name with variables or instances. Please let me know your comments. The test case is: module nested9 (in1,in2,condition,clk,out1,out2); parameter p1 = 0; input [7:0] in1, in2; input clk; output [7:0] out1, out2; reg [7:0] out1, out2; input condition; module nest2(input [7:0] in1, input [7:0] in2, input clk, input condition, output reg [7:0] out1); always @ (posedge clk) begin if(condition) out1 = in1; else out1 = in2; end endmodule nest2 nest2 (in1, in2, out1); module nest3(input [7:0] in1, input [7:0] in2, input clk, input condition, output reg [7:0] out1); always @ (posedge clk) begin if(condition) out1 = in2; else out1 = in1; end endmodule nest3 nest3 (in1, in2, out1); endmodule Regards RakeshReceived on Thu Jun 30 21:42:16 2005
